On February 8, a truck loaded with Elkem Xinghuo Silicones’ liquid silicone rubber LSR8600 products was urgently sent to a special labor protection appliance manufacturer in Shenzhen. The customer was a professional manufacturer of special labor protection masks for medical and industrial sectors, which were made of the LSR8600 products. It was reported that during the shortage period of anti-epidemic materials, the customer received strong support from the Shenzhen government. The factory was in full steam, producing 300,000 special masks per day. The LSR8600 series of products feature good biocompatibility, excellent physical properties, high tearing strength, good fluidity, and high temperature resistance. They are easy-to-process, odorless and non-toxic materials that can be sterilized.

Faced with the severe epidemic and the extreme shortage of medical supplies such as masks, disinfectant, and protective clothing, Elkem Xinghuo Silicones has maintained communication with customers, prepared sufficient stocks, and arranged shipments by adjusting logistics and transportation routes. It has overcome difficulties to ensure the orderly supply of raw materials for anti-epidemic producers.
