Increased productivity

Silicones can help manufacturers increase productivity and reduce waste by:

  • Eliminating problems, such as
    • Unwanted process foam, which can cause vessels to overflow and limit the amount of material that can be processed in a single run
    • Poor release from molds, which can damage both molds and parts and increase scrap and waste
  • Eliminating processing steps by enabling previously incompatible materials to be combined
  • Speeding assembly through the use of silicone materials that are easier to apply, cure more quickly, or enable the use of automated production processes
Did you know ... by using a silicone hot melt window assembly sealant and automated glazing equipment, fabricators can reduce the time and cost associated with window and door manufacturing by as much as 33%!
