The past five years have seen dramatic changes in China's pharmaceutical industry. For a while, 100 target competition, 100 Lian innovation, 100 listed, 100 drugs to be the first. Pharmaceutical companies are racing against time to develop a cure for diseases and save lives.
When people think of medicine, the first thing that comes to mind is APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients). Safflower also needs green leaf lining, if the API is compared to safflower, then auxiliary materials, packaging materials is silent dedication, indispensable green leaves. This "green leaf" of medical silicone business has opened a new journey to ride the wind and waves.
It meets a variety of applications in the field of medical devices and pharmaceuticals
Silicone has a long history. Many scientists and engineers all over the world have devoted their whole life to the discovery and development of silicone.
In 1863, French chemist Frieder and Krafts will SiCl4 and Znet2 in 160℃ sealed tube reaction, the first containing Si-C bond silicone compound SiET4. At that moment, they may not have realized that the future of silicon was born in their tube, and that the chemical reaction would go down in history.
In 1943, Dow and Corning realized the limitless potential of organosilicon and jointly formed Dow Corning to specialize in the development and production of organosilicon. With the efforts of Dow Corning researchers and other scientists, silicone oil, silicone rubber and silicone resin products have been developed. Because of its wide range of uses and outstanding effects, organic silicon has gained the reputation of "industrial monosodium glutamate" and "scientific and technological catalyst". Silicone is a generalist who shows his talent in medicine.
Silicone has outstanding biocompatibility and biological tolerance, chemical and thermal stability, durability, hydrophobicity, and elasticity, which is very suitable for medical applications, especially those requiring long-term implantation in the human body. After surveying the field of medical treatment, the application of organic silicon is as high as hundreds of species, including: mould, pipes, dental impression, artificial limbs, respirator masks, intravenous drugs and blood transfusion system, ventilation cooling cap, chemotherapy, air bags, breathing tube, catheter, medical glue application, topical and transdermal preparations, anti-acid and flatulence drug resistance, and so on. All in all, organosilicon has its hero's place, whether it is a drug that enters a patient's body, a medical device that comes into contact with a patient's body, or an ultra-pure liquid delivery material needed for drug production.
