Application example: 2K membrane

Food industry

The two-component membrane was developed for sippa home, a product from iuvas.

sippa home is a vessel that allows people with restricted movement, swallowing disorders (dysphagia) or dementia to drink easily without having to tilt the vessel too far.

2K membrane

Wafer-thin silicone membrane with thermoplastic ring

The 2K membrane – known as a “sippa pad” – is made from transparent silicone and red thermoplastic, and is part of a sophisticated system.
The wafer-thin silicone membrane used in the sippa pad stretches when liquid is poured into the cup.
When the cup is tipped slightly, the silicone membrane contracts and pushes the liquid towards the mouthpiece.
The small tilt angle makes it easier for people with restricted movement, swallowing disorders (dysphagia) or dementia to drink.
