After COVID-19, people and businesses are more conscious than ever about hygiene and cleanliness. Good hygiene is important for both people and society. Keeping people's hands, head and body clean so as to stop the spread of germs and illness. Hygiene benefits our own health and impacts the lives of those around us. Therefore, to enhance hygiene, people developed antimicrobial technology and that’s why antimicrobial material Compo-SiL^® shows up and is invented.

H3N2 is regarded as one of the most troubling flu strains like COVID-19 because it is highly contagious. Most viruses enter through openings in the body—our noses, mouths, and ears passages. The surfaces we touch in our daily routine can be a vector of transmission. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens from entering the body. Thus, underlines the importance of continually disinfecting and cleaning surfaces that are frequently touched.

Each year over 150 million critical cases of fungal infections occur worldwide, causing approximately 1.7 million deaths per year. Surprisingly, these numbers are steadily on the rise with a number of social and medical developments during the past decades that have abetted the spread of fungal infection.

Antibacterial Silicone: A fighter for Hospital Acquired Infections

Silicone and its advantages

Silicone is one of the medically accepted materials even for some invasive treatment cases. It is one of the most bio-friendly and sustainable man-made polymer which is widely used in both food and medical industries because of its great anti-microbial properties. Resistant to bacteria, also silicones are easy to sterilize. They do not react with other materials and do not irritate the body. Used externally, internally, or intravenously, silicone materials do not generate unwelcome byproducts or trigger allergic reactions.

Polymeric materials have much potential to prove the system on polymer concept ranging from flexible ICs, displays, sensors to
wearable systems.wearable systems. Compo-SiL^® technology bridges the gap between high level university research and industrializing it.

Our high quality silicone based Compo-SiL^® films have a layer above silicone which provides a
solution of textile binding ability (using HMA), printability, and laminability at once. Some of its kinds include transparent &
translucent films, conductive & flame retardant films, printable and skin films. These are incredibly thin roll-to-roll films with good
elastic properties and low modulus. These products are available in width of up to 1400 mm and are sold per meter with a roll
length required by customers. Various thicknesses are also available, ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. Silicone-based Compo-
SiL® films are manufactured from solid silicone rubber rather than liquid silicone, which gives advantages in terms of material
handling, ease of use, and processing time. We strive to provide customers with products that give them greater control and
more design freedom, and to ensure that they get the perfect product according to their specifications.

Compo-SiL^® based transparent printable silicone film has an unique modified layer on silicone, which provides a solution for
textile binding capability (using HMA), printability and laminability at once. This roll-to-roll product offers excellent properties
including waterproof, stable elasticity, low fatigue, thermal stability, high transparency, and specially provides a waterproof barrier
to external contaminants. The product is available with different thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, and width up to
1400 mm at almost any length.

Compo-SiL^® Skin Film is bilayer thin structure that can be stuck conformally onto the skin surface by soft contact with great
adhesion force. This is due to a layer of medical grade reusable silicone gel which could create an interface for hybrid electronic
devices with seamless skin integration. It is stretchable enough to accommodate strains during natural body motion. The product
is available at different thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, and width up to 1400 mm at almost any length.

Compo-SiL^® based translucent elastic silicone film comes with highly flexible and stretchable characteristics. It could be applied to all kinds of medical protective gears for different body parts.

The excellent resilience of this silicone composite film can stabilize the tendon and relieve pain of the protected parts, while also
providing cushion effect. Thanks to excellent biocompatibility, skin-friendly property and softness of silicone, it can maintain
support and comfort very well after long-time wearing. Nonetheless, silicone is a stable material which doesn’t degrade or
become sticky after frequent wash, and provides freedom in design with various colors to decorate and enhance the product

Compo-SiL^® based conductive film is a composite silicone material that uses carbon black fillers with normal silicone rubber, which could be widely applied from EMI shielding to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). The sheet resistance of the films can be adjusted from few ohms/sq to kilo ohm/sq according to the percentage of the conductive filler. Similarly, the stretchability of the film is thus dependent on the amount of conductive filler. The product is available at different thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, and width up to 1400 mm at almost any length.
