Quantum Silicones is proudly now CHT USA! In 2017, The ICM Group was purchased by the German based CHT Group, becoming part of the worldwide operating group of companies. Learn more about our transition, with unchanging quality, service and innovation: https://t.co/mYeQ4MQB3Y
Attending IPC Apex Expo Jan. 29-31 in San Diego? Mark our booth #342 on your list of exhibitors to visit. We’re exhibiting as our new brand: CHT USA – with unchanging Quality, Service, and Innovation. https://t.co/94WZFm4ymM #IPCAPEXEXPO#TechnologyTuesdays#SiliconeElastomers
We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Holiday Hours: Our offices will be closed on Monday, the 24th and Tuesday, the 25th. We’ll reopen for business on Wednesday, the 26th.
Are you familiar with compounds that inhibit the curing process for addition cure (platinum) silicones? Learn which chemicals/materials to avoid by checking out: “Identifying Chemicals that Cause Inhibition”: https://t.co/WlprDbFoz7 #TechnologyTuesdays#SiliconeElastomers
Quick tip for moldmaking #silicones: Applying a sprayable Teflon-based mold release to any surface the silicone will cure against ensures an easy and clean release of the part from the mold. Browse our products: https://t.co/7n1EdEeVZC

#SiliconeElastomers offer wide operating temperature ranges, from approx. -55C to 204C, while maintaining their physical properties under a variety of environmental exposures. Some formulations can function at temperatures as low -115C up to 300C https://t.co/7n1EdEeVZC
In observance of the holiday, QSi offices will be closed Thursday, Nov. 22nd & Friday, Nov. 23rd. We’ll reopen for business Monday, Nov. 26th.
We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends!
CHT draws a positive half-time balance and sets course for successfully continuing the implementation of the strategy.

When mixing 2-part #silicones, air pockets or voids left in the silicone while curing can cause excess expansion at increased temperatures. Vacuum de-airing/de-gassing is an important step to remove entrapped air. https://t.co/rjBn2pt3Ki #TechnologyTuesdays#siliconeelastomers
#Silicone gels are resistant to thermal cycling, vibration, & mechanical shock - ideal for electronic connector systems. Some feature self-healing properties in which the gel will reseal after multiple insertions. https://t.co/S5QCs9K86a #TechnologyTuesdays#siliconeelastomers
Because #silicones are inherently non-irritant to skin, they’re a great material choice for prosthetic liners and special effects & feature versatile physical properties. Check out the True Skin series: https://t.co/jXAimGlevU

Phil McDermott, our Chief Technology Officer, recently spoke at the SAMPE High Desert Chapter discussing new silicone technologies for Aerospace and their key features important for this application. Our portfolio: https://t.co/9rrSP0OIY2 #TechnologyTuesdays#siliconeelastomers
Flame retardant #silicones play an important role in potting electronic modules and LEDs since they're self-extinguishing, minimizing the need for additional safety precautions: fire-resistant enclosures and barriers https://t.co/25zOjWfgWi #TechnologyTuesdays#siliconeelastomers
Did you know? Optically clear #silicones are applied over surface mount LEDs & can be mixed with diffusants or whitening agents. These encapsulants also feature high refractive indices to facilitate a brighter, more focused light. https://t.co/WD5LTosDmc #TechnologyTuesdays
Looking to test a new #silicone elastomer? Our team can help select the most optimal silicone technology for your process and also learn about our in-lab testing capabilities. You can call us or easily request product samples at https://t.co/VsZFc7t3Yc #siliconeelastomers
Did you know? Thermally conductive #silicones maintain their physical properties in high voltage functions and protect power supplies from thermal stress. Learn more about these unique grades in this brochure https://t.co/CSEG3LcULU
