XIAMETER(R) Brand Expands China-Made Product Portfolio

Dow Corning web-enabled business model introduces more than 20 China-made silicone rubbers

The XIAMETER(R) web-enabled business model from Dow Corning is launching a new set of China-made silicone rubbers to better serve its customers,especially in China and the Asia region.

The rubbers, made in Dow Corning's manufacturing sites in Zhangjiagang and Shanghai, are available through the XIAMETER(R) website, and include three newly developed fumed-silica filled silicone rubbers. Because the products are manufactured locally, customers in China and the Asia region can expect a shorter delivery lead time compared to importing materials from Europe or America.

"The combination of our growing manufacturing capacity in China and the efficient way that our expanded XIAMETER(R) business model allows customers to purchase products will benefit manufacturers throughout Asia," said Eve Luo, XIAMETER Greater China Commercial Director.

Fluids and emulsions made in Songjiang, Shanghai have been available from the XIAMETER(R) web site since June.

Fumed-silica filled silicone rubbers

Relatively new to China, fumed-silica filled silicone rubber is widely used in food contact consumer goods, wire and cable and other various rubber fabrication applications due to its high physical properties such as tear strength and elongation. "We have more than 40 years experience in producing fumed-silica filled silicone rubbers across the globe and we look forward to sharing our expertise with local customers," said Luo.

The three new fumed-silica filled silicone rubbers now available for purchase online are:

- XIAMETER(R) RBB-2400 Base is a general purpose silicone rubber with good extrusion processibility widely used in keypad, cake mold, tube, kitchen ware, die-casting, and cable accessories for power
