COMPAMED 2019 WACKER Showcases Ready-to-Use Electroactive Silicone Laminates for the Medtech Industry

Munich, November 18, 2019 – At this year’s COMPAMED trade fair for medical technology, WACKER will showcase its novel silicone laminate with electroactive properties. NEXIPAL® consists of several ultrathin precision films made of silicone rubber. The films are coated with an electrically conductive material prior to lamination. The result is an actuator that creates movement, as soon as electrical voltage is applied. In addition, NEXIPAL® can also be used as a sensor by measuring deformations electrically. The silicone laminate is wear-free, compact and energy saving and ideal for use in innovative applications. Touch screens of measuring devices equipped with NEXIPAL® are able to create vibrations and haptic feedback simulating keys or control panels that can be operated blindly by touch. COMPAMED will take place from November 18 to 21 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
