Transforming

Construction Material
Eco-Friendly
Silicone Replacing PVC Vinyl Plastic Interior Construction Material
Hsinchu,
Taiwan, June 27, 2023 - General Silicones (GS), a leader
in the production of silicone products for over half a century,
announces the newest application of their versatile and innovative
Compo-SiL® technology – replacing traditional PVC vinyl wallpapers with
sustainable and stylish Compo-SiL® silicone interior construction material.
Interior
Construction Material for the Building and Interior Design Industry
Leveraging the unique Compo-SiL® modified layer on silicone, GS
provides a dual solution for printing and lamination. The digital
printing advantage of Compo-SiL® allows for intricate designs to be
directly printed onto the film by the customer on site. This benefit
makes the Compo-SiL® silicone an ideal interior construction material,
offering boundless design possibilities for any interior, from homes to
businesses and even public facilities and hospitals. Whether choosing
the transparent and printable film (TP series)
or the vegan leather (VL series) with
multiple texture options, customers can add a unique touch to their
interiors while promoting sustainability.
Additional
Functions Enhancing Health and Safety
Compo-SiL® offers the option for antimicrobial properties,
providing a protective layer against bacteria and viruses. It has
passed the industry benchmark antimicrobial tests, including ISO
22196:2011, JIS Z 2801: 2012, ISO 21702:2019, and ASTM G21 The ability
to add protection against dangerous germs makes Compo-SiL® an excellent
choice for spaces demanding higher hygienic standards, such as
hospitals, children's rooms, or elevators. Moreover, customers can also
opt for a flame retardant function, adding an extra safety layer to
hospitals, public spaces, and the hospitality industry.
Pioneering
a Sustainable Replacement for PVC
Vinyl PVC wallpaper have become popular, but they contain plasticizers
and stabilizers that can emit harmful VOCs, contributing to indoor air
pollution and potential health risks. They are hard to dispose of and
release toxic gases during combustion.
In contrast, Compo-SiL® silicone interior construction material is made
from silicone, the same material as sand. The production of silicone
rubber has a low carbon footprint and does not include solvents or
other harmful chemicals. Health-conscious and allergy-prone individuals
can rely on Compo-SiL® as an alternative to PVC-based products.
The unique technology of Compo-SiL® sheets allows the sheets to be
easily applied to walls and surfaces using standard adhesives, solving
the problem of working with silicone-based materials for large-scale
mass adaption of silicone-based products.
Durable
and Easy to Clean
Known for its durability, Compo-SiL® silicone film is ideal for various
applications, including wallpapering walls and ceilings. This versatile
product offers a unique and durable silicone surface that's easy to
clean, aligning with hygiene needs, especially in public spaces. A
simple wipe with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap is all it takes
to maintain cleanliness. The inertness of silicone to chemicals allows
for Compo-SiL® interior construction material to be cleaned with
detergents and antimicrobial cleaning agents where necessary.
The easy-to-clean surface makes Compo-SiL® interior construction
material an ideal interior construction material for children's rooms
at home, daycare, and kindergartens, as crayons and pens will not
adhere to the silicone and are easy to remove.
In conclusion, Compo-SiL® silicone interior construction material sets
a new trend in the interior construction material market, supporting
the movement for greener infrastructure while offering style, safety,
and sustainability. This innovative product is poised to redefine the
building and interior design industry, steering it toward a greener
future.
