Unleashing Innovation and Endless Possibilities: Discover Elkem at the CIIE in China!
With a rich history spanning over 70 years as an innovative force in silicone technology, Elkem is set to unveil a series of groundbreaking products at the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5 to 10, 2023.
Themed “Pushing Material Boundaries with Diversified Silicone Innovations”, Elkem showcases its innovative applications in four major domains: smart mobility, comfortable living, life sciences, and future technology, all at the Consumer Products Zone (Booth A5-03 in Hall 5.1).
In its sixth year at the Expo, the Elkem booth unveils a series of industry breakthroughs, showcasing its cutting-edge technology and innovation. By leveraging the Expo platform’s “spillover effect” and “acceleration” opportunities, Elkem aims to empower sustainable urban development, facilitate industrial transformation and upgrading, and provide consumers with a comprehensive array of high-quality life experiences.
New Product Launches Drive Paradigm Shift in Quality of Life and Industry Advancement
Elkem hostes a series of new product launches at the CIIE, reintroducing its technological innovations and sustainable solutions across various sectors, including home, automotive, energy, healthcare, and future technology.
We are dedicated to improving quality of life, offering consumers peace of mind and comfort through a comprehensive range of environmentally-friendly solutions. Silicone materials stand at the forefront of the consumer electronics manufacturing field, ushering mankind into a new era of eco-friendly, smart living. One notable innovation is the SILCOLEASE™ UV LED series. These solutions provide superior curing and physical properties for more sustainable mold release coatings. They are greener, more energy-efficient, and more environmentally friendly when compared to traditional mercury vapor curing lamps. Elkem offers silicone benzene-free pressure-sensitive adhesive solutions for wearables and skin-contact applications.
These solutions demonstrate Elkem’s industry expertise and practical versatility, finding wide-ranging applications in electronic wearables, skin-contact products, and high-end electronics manufacturing that has to be compliant with the stringent requirements in terms of environmental protection. Elkem Silbione™ series of medical silicone rubber materials are making a significant impact in the medical and healthcare sector. These materials are chosen for their outstanding mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, high purity, low dissolution, and minimal leaching characteristics. They are widely used in a variety of medical applications, including extruded and molded high- and low-pressure resistant tubing for bio-pharmaceutical applications, high-purity drug delivery devices, peristaltic tubing, respirator masks, and premium wound dressings. These applications deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality medical services, ensuring a superior medical experience for patients.
Elkem is committed to consistently strengthening its production capabilities within the intelligent transportation sector, with a keen focus on the automotive industry’s evolving trends toward electrification and lightweighting. This has enabled the company to supply high-quality silicone-based materials for the assembly and protection of electronic components and battery packs in hybrid and electric vehicles (H&EVs). These materials play a pivotal role in extending the range of batteries and enhancing their safety performance. Drawing from over two decades of experience in airbag technology and an unwavering commitment to technological innovation, Elkem has introduced innovative measures. This includes the adoption of one-piece weaving (OPW) technology in curtain airbags (CAB) and the integration of high-quality silicone coating products to bolster the airtightness and pressure retention of pedestrian airbags. These initiatives have significantly elevated the protective capabilities of airbags, offering more reliable and comprehensive safety measures for transportation.
Elkem is leveraging its high-performance equipment and professional technical expertise to make waves in the field of future science and technology. This is evident in the development of silicone materials with ultra-high thermal conductivity. With their exceptional thermal conductivity, these materials find application in semiconductor chip packaging, serving a crucial role in rapidly dissipating heat, thus preventing failures caused by excessive temperatures. This ensures the smooth operation of chip products at high speeds. In addition, Elkem’s offerings are proving invaluable in the ever-evolving field of 3D printing. The silicones employed in this industry have a wide range of applications, from creating unique fashion designs, handbags, and jewelry to manufacturing medical and industrial soft robots, pre-operative simulation models, medical implants, prosthetics, and other precision medical devices. Elkem’s 3D printing solutions are at the forefront of personalized intelligent manufacturing.
