grade, self-lubricated, antimicrobial and self-adhesive properties.
Grade Insights
Medical grade is rapidly growing as compared to other grades of liquid silicone rubber. Its widespread
application in manufacturing of oxygen mask instruments, dialysis filters, syringe stoppers, saccules, tracheal
tube and other medical parts on account of its bacterial resistance, transparency, high dielectric strength, high
elongation gas permeability and numerous other unique properties.
Medical grade is the most expensive grade as it requires completion of numerous regulations in order to be
applied in manufacturing medical devices. It is also substituting latex at a significant rate which was used in
implantable devices since long back as it caused opposing reactions in the patient’s body.
In terms of revenue generation, industrial grade is the largest segment and is applied in industries such as
construction, aerospace, electronics, cosmetics and various other components. It is a suitable material for parts
such as keypads, electronic displays, grommets, antennas and others.
