Our trainees and staff from various BIW departments were treated to an impressive demonstration of the materials silicone can be manufactured from. To do this, the raw materials were not just presented as chemical formulas, but also with samples of the individual raw materials. The seminar showed both the advantages and the few disadvantages of silicone compared to other elastomers. The usage examples showed the versatility of silicone. Then the technical centre of Momentive showed the pro- cessing of liquid silicone (LSR). The seminar continued with the production facilities for LSR and HTV rubber. The Conti system for HTV rubber types was particularly impressive. We would like to thank Mr Rolle from Momentive for the implementation and organisation of the session.
