The epidemic situation of novel coronavirus pneumonia is spreading all over the world, and the global epidemic prevention materials are still very scarce. Some areas even face a difficult situation. As we all know, non-woven fabric, plastic, TPE and so on are indispensable raw materials for the manufacture of masks. However, silicone rubber also has a wide and irreplaceable role in protective equipment. Recently, we can see a lot of related reports, such as face discomfort caused by long-term wearing of protective equipment by medical staff, face mask coverage is not tight, sterilization is difficult to reuse, etc., and the characteristics and advantages of silicone rubber can effectively solve such needs: good biocompatibility, processing and sealing, excellent tensile performance, soft comfort and high temperature resistance.
In the current situation, Eiken silicone quickly responds to the market demand. We supply silicone rubber raw materials and produce silicone rubber protective masks for a manufacturer engaged in professional protection and industrial fields in China, so as to provide comfortable, soft and excellent sealing performance protective masks for medical staff, staff and the public.

Elkem silicone blue LSR 8600 series products meet the standard requirements of FDA in the United States and are certified by lfgb in Germany. This product is highly transparent, with good processing performance, excellent tear strength and elongation at break.
