Advanced Silicone Solutions for Healthcare and Medical Manufacturing

Silicone elastomers comply with healthcare quality standards because they are hypoallergenic, non-hazardous once cured, and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles. They are ideally suited for medical applications as they do not react with most chemicals and substances, do not promote bacterial growth, and remain stable in humid environments.

CHT’s range of silicone technology feature one-component and two-component systems with either addition or condensation cure chemistry. CHT's addition crosslinking silicone elastomers are physiologically harmless and have minimal shrinkage after the vulcanization crosslinking is complete, with no harmful by-products. These features make them a perfect fit for use in the medical fields, offering a safe and reliable manufacturing process. In addition, specialty catalysts and product enhancers are available to modify properties such as cure time, rheology, adhesion, and hardnesses to meet unique process requirements or cured properties.

Since many medical applications using silicone require daily skin contact, CHT offers a series of silicones that are safe for skin with ISO 10993 certification.
