Primasil now offers a custom silicone compounding service, developing silicone materials specific to customers' applications.
Managing director Steve Wheeler believes the strength of this service is that all the outstanding properties of silicone are retained.
Andrew Zarebski, technical director, adds "many colour effects have a negative effect on the technical virtues of silicone, but our product can be used to enhance the marketability of our customers' products".
Primasil can incorporate the metallic finish into some existing silicone compounds, or they will develop an application specific material to exactly match your needs.
