What Industrial Scenarios Can Fully Utilize the Properties of Cosil's PDMS?

Polydimethylsiloxane, better known under the acronym PDMS, is a type of silicone that possesses a high degree of flexibility as well as thermal stability and chemical inertness. These traits make the material extremely versatile. Looking to best make the PDMS they anufacture useful to as many industries as possible, silicone OEM and Cosil performs micro-dimensions of PDMS. This unique needs many industries that demand a material to perform under and withstand worse than average operating conditions, Cosil PDMS is unique as a viable answer PDMS is tailored to industries that function under unique operating conditions. Let’s examine a few of these scenarios:  

Use of silicone in microelectronics & semiconductor  

The microelectronics and semiconductor industry is one of the areas that Cosil's PDMS has an immense value to. This is because of PDMS's remarkable insulating properties and compatibility to Cat 3 and 4 high precision fabrication. PDMS is employed as a protective coating on some electronic components, protecting them from the moisture, dust, and chemical exposure that they are subjected to in the course of fabrication and during their operational lives. Cosil's PDMS also acts as a mold and micro fabrication material in the production of new micro structures and the high fidelity reproduction of micro flow structures and sensors. PDMS possessed low dielectric constant coupled with thermal stability ideal for semiconductor packages and engineered thermal reliability with extreme cycling. PDMS operationally stabilities from -50C to 200C.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Uses

Cosil’s PDMS formulations show remarkable biocompatibility and sterilizability and are thus suitable for medical and pharmaceutical purposes. PDMS is utilized in medical products such as catheters, implants, and various diagnostic apparatuses, as it is non-cytotoxic and can be safely sterilized by autoclaving or radiation. In the pharmaceutical industry, PDMS is used as a release agent for drug-containing molds and as a coating for processing equipment to prevent active pharmaceutical ingredients from sticking and to protect the integrity of the product. Due to Cosil’s meticulous quality control, the PDMS can be used for Primary and Secondary Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications, as it is certified to be ISO 10993 biocompatible.

 
 The automotive and transportation sector makes the most of Cosil’s PDMS due to its weather resistance and sealing characteristics. PDMS is used to seal automotive components including engine gaskets, door gaskets, and battery packs, enabling a tight, long-lasting seal from water, dust, and chemicals. The unique combination of automotive gaskets PDMS is used in includes exposure to UV, extreme temperatures, and mechanical flexing, ensuring the seal stays flexible and performs sealing in extreme automotive conditions. PDMS also functions as a heat transfer fluid to improve the reliability of automotive electronic systems, including EV batteries, infotainment units, and thermal management. Due to its low toxicity, PDMS is also appropriate for use in dashboards and foam padding of seats.

The use of 3D printing and Mold Making 

Industries involving 3D printing and mold-making use the Cosil PDMS due to the great moldability and accuracy of replication. PDMS can be poured in and be cured at a low temperature, which makes it great for creating custom molds used in the plastic, resin, and food crafting industries. PDMS has a great tear strength and flexibility that allows it to withstand a lot of repeated use without losing structural integrity. In 3D printing, PDMS is used a lot as a secondary support material for difficult to print designs and is also used as a material to print flexible prototypes. One of the best features of Cosil PDMS is the great ease in which it can be released from the mold. Because of this, one is able to achieve a perfect, undamaged work of art, industrial part, or consumer good without damaging the model.

Coating and Adhesive Sector

Cosil PDMS is water-repellent, anti-stick, and durable, which is also why coating and adhesive businesses industrial equipment, textiles, and other cook ware. PDMS based provides a protective layer that is non-stick, easy to clean and also during spillage, does not stain, repel oil and water. Cosil PDMS flexible and weather resistant outdoor and/or humid bonding coponents construction panels, marine closures, and other marine. PDMS are reactive to coating and adhesives surfaces to avoid losing seal and surfaces latter. Cosil formulated expediting viscosity and curing to diverse coating and adhesive applications.
