ERJ staff report (DS)

Albany New York -- Momentie is offering pre-compounded silicone elastomers. it said, "While it technically possible to mix Silicone Compounds in customer-owned mixing plants, it is normally not favored, in order to avoid cross-contamination of other organic elastomers.

In times of economic uncertainty and cost pressure, our customers need to win both on service and technology,” said Jonathan Chard, Leader of the Custom Compound Business of Momentive in Europe. “Ready to use custom elastomers can deliver materials formulated for each exact application, delivered quickly and providing multiple process benefits. Our customers value having direct access to the marketing and development resources of a global silicone supplier, in combination with the focused offering we give them”.

Momentive custom elastomers are available from dedicated local manufacturing sites in Europe, USA, Brazil, India and China. These dedicated compounding sites specialise in silicone compounds exclusively. This includes the platinum-catalyzed Addisil product line, manufactured in a dedicated production area, as well as peroxide curable HCR and fluorosilicone compounds.
