Article-A few of our favorite things from MD&M East and PLASTEC East: Bluestar Silicones

Bluestar Silicones
Bluestar Silicones (Lyon, France) is a well-known supplier of materials to medical device manufacturers, notably through its Silbione brand. But at the MD&M East and PLASTEC East events, what really caught our eye was this sorta creepy head designed for a wax musuem project. The company's expertise is often on display in movies, as well. For especially resonant special effects, Bluestar will adjust the durometer of the material so that a body that is, say, falling from a building, will have a realistic bounce, or lack thereof, as it slams onto the pavement.
