-
Helps key medical device converters improve their process efficiency and product performance
-
Serves a wide range of specialty medical applications with strict biocompatibility and quality requirements
-
Offering a broad range of silicone elastomers such as high-consistency rubbers (HCRs) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs)
-
Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) that serve an extensive array of applications, including wearables, prosthetics and ostomy
-
Soft skin adhesives (SSAs), typically used in advanced wound care and increasingly in wearables
MULTIFLEX™
Thermoplastic Elastomers
-
MULTIFLEX™ TES & G - Styrenic-based thermoplastic elastomers combine soft touch, elasticity and compression set performances
-
MULTIFLEX™ TPO -
Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers offer good thermal resistance and cold impact performance -
MULTIFLEX™ SIE -
Silicone-enhanced solutions deliver very good scratch and abrasion resistance and superior surface quality -
MULTIFLEX™ TEA -
Thermoplastic elastomer-based styrenic alloy combines soft touch, elasticity, and compression set performances
TPSiV®
Thermoplastic Elastomers
-
Offers outstanding durability - from resistance to abrasion and stains, to UV radiation, chemicals or sweat and sebum
-
Contains no plasticizers that can create surface stickiness. Instead, the silicone itself acts as a softening agent
-
Testing according to medical protocols, such as USP Chapter 88 and ISO 10993-10 show that TPSiV® elastomers lack cytotoxic potential and are negative for systemic toxicity and irritation potential, underscoring that these are safe for skin-contact in commercial wearable device applications
MULTIBASE™
Siloxane Masterbatch
-
High compatibility including polyamides (PA), polycarbonates (PC), polyesters (PET), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyolefins (PO), thermoplastics (TPE), and styrenics (S)
-
Increases productivity in the extruder and mold, improving dispersion of pigments, mold release, and flow
-
Creates higher-performing thermoplastic compounds/components by extending surface aesthetics and physical properties
-
Because silicone acts as an internal lubricant between filler and polymer matrix, it can help reinforce mechanical properties

Mobility
Scratch resistance and noise reduction are two enormous challenges for designers of automotive interiors. When different materials like polypropylene and PC/ABS are used in adjoining interior components, annoying squeaks can detract from the driving experience. And when interior parts are scratched, a vehicle loses value. DuPont has developed additive solutions that help manage both of these challenges.
Long Term Scratch Resistant Additives for Automotive Polypropylene Talc Compounds
DuPont silicone masterbatches MULTIBASE™ MB50-001, MULTIBASE™ MB50-001G2 and MULTIBASE™ HMB-0221 additives help improve long-lasting anti-scratch properties of automotive interiors.

MULTIBASE™
MULTIBASE™ thermoplastics additives contain high or ultra-high molecular weight siloxane, pre-dispersed and/or reacted in a range of polymer-carriers and specially engineered to deliver multiple benefits for greater design freedom and production efficiencies. Easy-to-use pellets enable processing improvements for both the compound manufacturer and processor.
MULTIFLEX™
MULTIFLEX™ thermoplastic elastomers are excellent replacements for thermoset rubber in highly demanding automotive applications. They help reduce costs through streamlined processing and combine design freedom with recyclability. In addition to exceptional colorability and resistance to color degradation, it is resistant to alcohols, acids, bases and detergents.
TPSiV®
TPSiV® brings together the strength and abrasion resistance of TPEs with the softness, UV and chemical resistance, and colorability of silicone. TPSiV® products incorporate vulcanized silicone in a thermoplastic matrix. They can be customized for specific applications and recycled and reused in manufacturing processes.
