NEW PRODUCT - Ultra Thin Silicone Film

The new ELASTOSIL® Film range of thin, 100% silicone films is a new form of presentation that greatly extends the reach of high tech silicone technology and offers pioneering, key advantages.

New: Thin and Precise Silicone Films

Produced from addition curing silicone rubber grades in a patent pending process, ELASTOSIL® Film products from WACKER are silicone roll-stock films available in thicknesses as low as 20 micrometers.

These 100% silicone films are manufactured under cleanroom conditions, which yields extremely homogeneous, flawless films of uniform thickness. The film thickness across the entire width and length of the film web deviates from the specification by no more than plus or minus 5 percent. At the same time, ELASTOSIL® Film products display all of the characteristics typical of silicone elastomers. This combination provides the key to technical applications that manufacturers have had difficulty achieving on an industrial scale, if at all.

ELASTOSIL® Film: Ideal for EAPs ...
ELASTOSIL® Film is especially suited for use as a dielectric medium in applications
that employ electroactive polymers (EAPs), such as:

• Actuator technology (“artificial muscle”)
• Generator technology (energy harvesting)
• Sensor technology (“smart sensing”)

... and beyond EAP
