Elastomeric Gel vs. Silicone (Finger Test Video)

Previous | Home | Next

Compression: Finger Poke Test video (size: 300k - 1MB, duration: 18 sec.)- This video clip shows how soft and malleable the elastomeric gel is using only one's finger. Note how the gel allows an effortless finger poke (and bounces back to its original shape after the deforming force is removed. This is known as shape memory.) while the silicone resists significant penetration, bending the fingertip in the process.
