Sustainability

Durability data is the starting point for lower-waste silicone choices.

Momentive frames sustainability around longer service life, fewer failed trials, compliant documentation, and more disciplined material selection for silicone elastomer programs.

Dashboard

Practical indicators reviewed before material change.

01

Service Life

Buyers compare thermal aging, compression set, UV exposure, and chemical contact to reduce premature gasket or seal replacement.

02

Trial Waste

A tighter grade shortlist can reduce unused sample lots, repeated lab batches, and engineering time spent on materials that cannot pass approvals.

03

Document Readiness

Early REACH, RoHS, SDS, and customer-restricted-substance review prevents late-stage scrap caused by documentation gaps.

04

Process Fit

Cure path, dispensing method, pot life, and storage conditions influence rejected parts as much as the base elastomer chemistry.

Research file set

Documents that support responsible material selection.

PDF

Silicone durability review checklist

Summarizes thermal, mechanical, chemical, and environmental questions before comparing elastomer grades.

XLS

Trial waste tracking sheet

Helps teams record sample lots, cure outcomes, rejected conditions, and reasons for material elimination.

DOC

Compliance intake template

Organizes required declarations, regions, customer clauses, and approval owners before the first sample.

Request

Regulatory timing should not wait for production trial.

Step 1

List the market, customer specification, restricted substance list, and any food-contact or medical context.

Step 2

Confirm which declarations, SDS language, lot documents, and shelf-life references are needed before sampling.

Step 3

Run silicone or elastomer trials only after the candidate material has a plausible documentation path.

Step 4

Review process waste, rejected parts, and failure reasons after the trial to refine the grade shortlist.

Make sustainability measurable at the qualification stage.

Send operating conditions, required documents, and current failure mode. Momentive will help frame the silicone elastomer review around durability, process fit, and avoidable waste.
