Direct-Mix colors into extruded silicone rubber. (Compounding).Extruding natural silicone rubber Noun 1. silicone rubber - made from silicone elastomers; retains flexibility resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range synthetic rubber, rubber - any of various synthetic elastic materials whose properties resemble natural rubber into colored products without an intermediate mixing step is said to be possible for the first time with a system developed in Spain by Dow Corning Dow Corning is a multinational corporation headquartered in Midland, Michigan, USA. Dow Corning specializes in silicon and silicone-based technology, offering more than 7,000 products and services. Dow Corning is equally owned by The Dow Chemical Company and Corning, Inc. Corp. of Midland, Mich., and built by Colmec SpA in Milan, Italy. Colmec, represented here by Skinner Engine Co. in Erie, Pa., combines a 90-mm, 15:1 L/D L/D Labor and Delivery L/D Lethal Dose L/D Lift/Drag (ratio) L/D Low Dynamic L/D Limiter/Discriminator L/D Loading / Discharging Rate (shipping) main extruder with a smaller color-feeding extruder of 45 mm diam. and 11:1 TJD TJD The Justice Department (Quake gaming clan) TJD Trajectory Diagram . Both are fed strips of silicone, which is difficult to color evenly. Material from the color-feed extruder enters the main extruder between diameters 3 and 4, so the custom screw has 3D of feed section, followed by 12D of mixing and compression. *43* |
