Layered silicone combinations extend materials use

A MTI Leewood product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 7, 2006

Multi-layer combinations of different types of silicone with substrate materials such as glass fibre, Kevlar, Nomex and PE or Teflon foils can produce better results than the components by themselves.

MTI Leewood has available multi-layer combinations of different types of silicone with a virtually unlimited array of substrate materials.

For example, combinations of silicone with glass fibre, Kevlar, Nomex or even foils such as PE or Teflon can produce results better than the individual components by themselves.

These products reveal a potential in terms of their structural integrity, insulation characteristics or flammability properties.

That's what makes Magniply a suitable material when it comes to delivering better performance for complex applications.

Recent additions to the Magniply range include: glass fibre reinforced solid silicone sheeting used in applications that require dimensional stability and increased tensile strength; glass fibre reinforced solid for press pads in flexible circuit board and credit card manufacturing; solid reinforced used in chip-manufacturing, belting and high-strength gaskets; aluminium-silicone-glass fibre as fire blocking in motor sports; Kevlar-silicone sandwich as a fire protection tarpaulin for Airbus; vandal resistant cushioning in seating and additional padding applications; glass fibre-foam for flame barriers; and foil-foam for radiant heat reflection.
