03 BIW – WE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH In case you get ill, need to take prescription medication or require vaccinations, we hope that these agents are filled using BIW silicone tubes since we employ silicones that meet all the necessary physiological requirements. These pharmaceutical tubes are one example of the large range of medical and pharmaceutical technologies that BIW provides, including clean room technology. The range starts from extruded tubes and profiles to moulded seals and functional elements in medical devices and ends with breathing masks for premature babies. We have the right solution for every application based on our certified medical products management system (ISO 13485). BIW – LIGHTER SEALS MAKE FLYING EASIER Anyone who has taken off with the Airbus A380 knows what good quality is. But without BIW, this would not have been possible since the development of weight-reduced sealing solutions on a silicone basis was extremely important. BIW mastered this challenge to the full satisfaction of Airbus, whilst taking fire- related requirements (e.g. selfextinguishing) into account, and has been asked to work on innovations for the new A350. Let yourself be amazed by what silicone can do! BIW – ZERO HALOGEN LOW SMOKE SEALS PUT PASSENGER SAFETY FIRST It is not the fire itself, but smoke and gases that cause the most extensive of con- sequences after accidents involving fire. The internal BIW compound development department has implemented recipes for these instances which will significantly reduce the risks of smoke and gas poisoning (low smoke / low tox qualities). The safety of passengers in rail vehicles is considerably improved by the use of BIW silicone products, for example, seals and window strips. The suitability of BIW products for these rail applications can be proved with the appropriate certifica- tions and approvals. Convince yourself. BIW – GO FOR A PVC FREE SHOWER We don‘t know whether you use the water in your shower as drinking water. But if you do, you don’t have to worry when a BIW silicone inliner is installed in your shower hose because the silicone used by BIW for sanitary-related products meets all the current national and international drinking water standards, e.g. KTW or NSF 61. And with silicone in use, your tap fitting is also guaranteed to be PVC free. Put your trust in us, BIW silicones are also a good choice for sanitary applications both for bathroom sinks and in the kitchen. — DR. MARKUS WIETHOFF
