To search by structure, left click in the box below to display the chemdraw toolbar. Then, draw the chemical structure of interest in the box using the toolbar. When your structure is complete, click “Search by Name” or “Search by SMILES” to generate the product name or SMILES respectively. This feature will search within the Gelest product database for matching chemical names or SMILES. Note: In cases where Gelest uses alternate chemical names, it may be necessary to search for the product of interest by its CAS#.

Gelest® ExSil® 100: 2-Part Silicone Elastomer
ExSil® 100 (EM2-EX100) is a two component high elongation silicone elastomer developed for molding applications. ExSil® 100 applications include molding, vibration damping, microfluidics, and high performance seals.

Silicones and Polymers, Applied Technology
Soft Materials with Recoverable Shape Factors from Extreme Distortion States – Goff et al.
The new materials reported here are specifically polysiloxanes, derived from high molecular weight uncross-linked polymeric liquids that when formed into nanocomposites demonstrate exceptional elongations (>5000%). These materials are readily manufactured and satisfy the structural requirements for long-term stretchable and implantable devices with integrated fluidics and electronics in soft tissue.

Silicones and Polymers, Applied Technology
Soft Tissue Compliant Silicones for Medical Devices
ExSil® silicone nanocomposites exhibit surprising material properties, such as up to 5,000% stretchability with elastic recovery, the ability to resist tear failure (both initiation and propagation), self-healing/sealing behavior and intrinsically low extractables. As a group, these materials demonstrate an ability to resist and recover from conditions that would normally result in the failure of other elastomers.
Product Resource
Ultra-high Elongation Silicone Elastomers – Arkles et al.
Silicone elastomers with elongations approaching 5,000%, nearly four times greater than any other commercial elastomer, are now available. These new elastomers utilize a cure mechanism that generates elastomeric properties by driving linear polymers to extremely high molecular weights with concomitant formation of intra- and inter-chain entanglements, rather than covalent crosslinking.
