These silicones are designed for additive manufacturing
AMSil™ and AMSil Silbione™ materials are designed for use in additive manufacturing/3D printing applications. This company has developed the AMSil 20501/AMSil Silbione 24501 and AMSil 20502 (food-grade) range, and now has added to the product portfolio with the new AMSil 20503 and AMSil Silbione 24503 range. These new formulations will enable increased use in restricted and unrestricted medical applications. The new developments are available with Shore A hardness from ShA 10 to ShA 70 with all well-known properties of 100% silicones for LDM (liquid deposit molding)-based systems. The company also launched a new reference AMSil 92102 in the support-material series. This paste-like, water-soluble material has improved printability and surface aspects and is suitable for use with the AMSil and AMSil Silbione range for 3D printing. — Elkem ASA, Oslo, Norway
