Thought leadership

Learn how NuSil has helped companies think outside of the silicone box.

Due to its biocompatibility, processability and wide range of physical properties, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is ideal for injection-molded valves, O-rings and other precision medicaldevice parts...

A medical device OEM needed a fast cure silicone adhesive to boost throughout to maximize efficiencies.

Learn how NuSil collaborated with a leading manufacturer of lasers to improve longevity and stability of space-based lasers.

At NuSil, we pride ourselves on the ability to customize our materials for unique requirements. But in some cases, what our customer really needs is our ability to find the right silicone that meets our customer’s requirements—and provide the technical support to enable them to rapidly and successfully introduce that product into their manufacturing processes.

Fluorosilicones are versatile, high-performance silicone materials formulated to resist mechanical failure caused by exposure to hydrocarbons, such as fuels and solvents. In addition, they remain flexible at extremely low temperatures and resist breakdown at very high temperatures.

Raw materials’ characterization and supply-chain control allow more rigorous control of the manufacturing process.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have played an important role in modern society for more than 70 years. These synthetic chemicals are chemically inert and offer low friction and resistance to water, oil and heat, which has made them useful in a wide array of applications.
