Munich will host the first edition of Selastec, an international conference on silicone elastomer technology, on 1–2 September 2027. Organised by Tema AG and guided by a board of industry specialists, the two-day event will focus on applications for silicone elastomers and how they are processed.

The conference is aimed at engineers who design or specify silicone components, as well as material producers, compounders, processors, equipment suppliers and mould makers. Sessions will be held in English, and Tema plans to run the event every two years.

According to Tema, the range of applications for silicone elastomers is growing while the number of international forums dedicated to the field has fallen. The organiser aims to keep attendance fees affordable and give participants time to discuss technical questions in person.

Application side sets the direction

The program covers four areas: Processing and Manufacturing, Materials and Innovation, Applications across Industries, and Trends and Outlook. Approximately 30 presentations are planned in a single track, without parallel sessions. Contributions are expected from along the entire value chain, with a focus on processors, tier suppliers, OEMs, and research. The applications discussed will span innovations in both liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and high consistency rubber (HCR) for molding and extrusion, including supporting technologies. Two evening events and an accompanying exhibition area will fuel face-to-face discussions among exhibitors, speakers, and delegates.

Call for Papers is open

Papers can now be submitted through the conference website. The deadline is April 9, 2027. The program committee will review the submissions and decide on the final lineup. The committee includes representatives of the Selastec partners: Dr. Gerhard Dimmler (Engel), Oliver Franssen (Sigmasoft), Dr. Ralf-Urs Giesen (Unipace), Karl Grossalber (Starlim), and Dr. Thorsten Häuser (Elmet).
