A material that is as close to a liquid as possible and can maintain its shape after molding is called a gel. "Tough Silon Gel®" is a unique silicone rubber that significantly improves upon the strength of conventional silicone rubber. It allows for ultra-low hardness three-dimensional molding. 【Features】 - Excellent heat resistance (200°C), cold resistance (-40°C), weather resistance, and electrical insulation - Resistant to tearing and highly flexible - Quickly returns to its original size without distortion after repeated stretching - Hygienic and gentle on the human body For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Do you have any of the following requests or concerns? ◆ Soft silicone products are prone to tearing, making commercialization difficult. ◆ There are products with elasticity, but distortion cannot be improved. ◆ I want a product that is soft like human skin. ◆ I want to know about materials that are low in hardness and highly safe for the human body. ◆ I am concerned about the stickiness of soft products. We will expand the possibilities of soft products with our unique material formulation and processing technology. We can accommodate from prototypes to small and large lots! If you would like a sample, please clearly state 'Sample Request' along with your intended use and any concerns, and contact us. (Note: Samples are limited in quantity and may be declined. Thank you for your understanding.)

Are you having any issues with the silicone products or silicone parts you are currently using? Our uniquely formulated low-hardness, high-strength silicone "Tough Silon" may be able to solve your problems. ■ Compatible with JIS E10° and above ■ Tear strength: 4.0 N/mm, Tensile strength: 0.9 MPa ■ Made from materials that have passed ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing ■ Many achievements in medical device parts and healthcare products If you are looking for flexibility, adhesion, or stretchability, please feel free to contact us.

Do you have any of the following requests or concerns? ◆ Soft silicone products are prone to tearing, making commercialization difficult... ◆ There are products with elasticity, but distortion cannot be improved... ◆ I want products that feel like human skin or are soft... ◆ I want to know about materials that are low in hardness and highly safe for the human body... ◆ I am concerned about the stickiness of soft products... We will expand the possibilities of soft products with our unique material formulations and processing technologies. Please consult with Tanac, who specializes in ultra-flexible gel materials! 《Examples of successful implementations achieved by lowering hardness (partial introduction)》 ✔ Respiratory packing ⇒ Improved air leakage by conforming to the contours of the face! ✔ Taping ⇒ Provides some range of motion while not being overly restrictive! *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Hardness refers to the value obtained by measuring the hardness or softness of materials such as rubber and sponge using a device called a durometer. There are several types of durometers that correspond to the hardness of the object being measured, with commonly used types being Type A, Type E, and Type D. Our company proposes thermoplastic elastomers and silicone RTV and Mirable as low-hardness materials. We have successful case studies of applications such as packing for respiratory devices, foot pressure point massage, and taping, all implemented with low hardness.

The soft type of 'BUYSSkin', which has been well received, has now been released! The conventional 'BUYSSkin' was designed to target thick and rigid skin areas such as the back and outer thighs. However, 'BUYSSkin soft' is suitable for simulating dermal suturing with small needles on softer and more elastic skin areas like the lower abdomen and face. It prevents cut-outs during buried suturing and realistically reproduces the sensation of tying knots. You can see the trajectory of the needle and thread, as well as understand the tension-reducing effect. *Simulation with barbed sutures is also possible! "We have received feedback that the sensation of suturing and tightening the thread, which could only be experienced with living tissue until now, can now be simulated." [Features] ■ No cut-outs during buried suturing ■ Realistic knot-tying sensation ■ Visibility of needle and thread trajectory ■ Understanding of tension-reducing effect ■ Simulation with barbed sutures is possible *Please feel free to contact us for more details.
