Over the years numerous silicone formulations have been developed for
a wide variety of commercial applications. Some of these materials offer
high strength and stiffness, while others provide a soft and compliant
character. Until recently, however, no single product could offer both
high strength and softness in one formulation.
Silon-IPN semipermeable membranes are formed from a unique blend of
silicone and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The PTFE provides an
internal reinforcing mechanism, thereby creating very thin sheets of
soft silicone with significantly enhanced physical strength.
Silon-IPN membranes are available in continuous lengths and in a
variety of formulations.
