September 1–2, 2027, Munich, Germany

Tema Technologie Marketing AG, based in Aachen, Germany, will host the first international "Selastec" (Silicone Elastomers Technology Conference) on September 1–2, 2027, in Munich. The event, which will subsequently be held every two years, will focus on the development, processing and application of silicone elastomers across the entire value chain. The conference language will be English. The event is aimed particularly at designers and developers of silicone components, as well as material manufacturers, compounders, processors, machinery and equipment manufacturers, and mold makers.

Focus on Applications, Materials and Processing
Around 30 presentations are planned as part of a single-track program without parallel sessions. The conference will cover four main areas: manufacturing and processing, materials and innovations, cross-industry applications, and trends and future perspectives. Key topics will include liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and high-consistency rubber (HCR) for injection molding and extrusion processes, including the associated machinery, equipment and tooling technologies. Other topics will address component design requirements and downstream processes such as testing and assembly.

Presentations are expected from companies across the value chain and from research institutions, particularly processors, suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). An accompanying technical exhibition and two evening events will complement the conference program.

Program Committee and Submission Deadline
The technical presentations will be selected by a program committee comprising Gerhard Dimmler (Engel), Oliver Franssen (Sigma Engineering), Ralf-Urs Giesen (Unipace), Karl Grossalber (starlim) and Thorsten Häuser (Elmet). Technical papers can be submitted through the conference website as part of the Call for Papers until April 9, 2027. The committee will then finalize the conference program.
