UNIONTOWN, OH – June 28, 2018 - ChemSpec, Ltd. attended the 2018 Silicone Elastomers US Summit on June 27 – 28, 2018 at the Marriott Downtown Key Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Their coordination efforts also brought two keynote speakers for today’s summit with Erick Sharp, President and CEO of ACE Products & Consulting LLC and Bill Black, Sales Engineer for Spherix® Mineral Products.
Erick presented on the evaluation of chemical dispersions in HCR silicone compounding and how a multi-factor, general factorial designed experiment was performed to investigate the processing of HCR silicone molding and extrusion compounds with silicone bound chemical dispersions. The factors selected for experiments are material form and type of chemical additives. This study measured dependent variables of rheological properties, physical properties, dispersion and downstream processability.
Bill presented on their product Dispersix™ - aluminosilicate ceramic microspheres and their use as performance additives in silicone. Bill discussed how an aluminosilicate ceramic microsphere was engineered to be a performance additive for silicone elastomers with a focus on how the additive was developed and how it enhances the properties of silicone elastomers.
