FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Antifungal
Silicone Rubber Sheet Compo-SiL®
Passes ASTM G21 Certification
Antifungal
Silicone Sheets for Protective Coatings
Hsinchu,
Taiwan, August 6, 2021 - Experienced silicone product
manufacturer General Silicones (GS) shares that its antifungal
silicone rubber sheet product line was certified by SGS
Hardline Laboratory in Taiwan to pass the ASTM G21 test. With this
certification and the previous certification for the antibacterial
properties of its silicone rubber, General Silicones offers
customers a unique patented solution to use its Compo-SiL® rubber
sheets for situations that benefit from the added protection against
dangerous microbes.
Easy
and Adhesion of the Protective Silicone Rubber Sheets
The patented technology of the Compo-SiL® silicone rubber sheets allows
ultra-strong and lasting adhesion to base materials and surfaces using
standard PUR
and hot
melt adhesives. This technology makes Compo-SiL® the only
solution to use pre-fabricated and cured silicone rubber sheets during
mass production and installation work. General Silicones adjust color,
texture, and feel to customer requirements and adds antifungal and
antibacterial agents on demand. The finished sheets are shipped in
rolls to customers for integration into standard manufacturing
processes.
Antifungal
and Antibacterial Protection for Indoor and Outdoor Use
The exceptional resistance to heat, extreme cold, and UV radiation of
silicone combined with the integration of anti-slip properties during
manufacturing makes it an attractive material for outdoor use at humid
locations such as swimming pools and ships where molds can grow. On the
other hand, the chemical inertness of silicone to detergents and
alcohol-based disinfectants make Compo-SiL® sheets an ideal material
for adding antibacterial and antifungal protection to surfaces of
tables, furniture, handrails, door handles of public spaces, as well as
the use as a vegan leather upholstery material for furniture that
requires enhanced antifungal and antibacterial protection. Application
examples are devices and facilities in the medical field, public
transportation, and elderly care facilities.
