BIOMEDevice 2009
NuSil Technology would like to invite you to BIOMEDevice San Jose!
BIOMEDevice will be in San Jose, CA on Decenber 9-10, 2009. Be sure to stop by booth #911 to meet with NuSil’s technical staff and learn more about MED-4286 and our recent success with a non-migrating, low coefficient of friction coating.
MED-4286 an ultra-soft elastomer with a feel similar to a firm gel but greater physical properties. This product is ideal for potting, encapsulating or molding devices. MED-4286 is a pliable silicone elastomer designed for applications requiring low “000” durometer, as well as low modulus and high elongation. Featuring a low, pourable viscosity and 12-hour work time, MED-4286 is easily moldable, providing versatility for various applications. This material is designated as “Unrestricted”, which means it can be considered for use in long-term implants (implanted 29 days or longer) but is also available in a “Restricted” version for shorter term applications.
NuSil Technology developed a coating, which, when sprayed and cured with heat will significantly reduce the coefficient of friction (COF) of the underlying silicone surface. This low coefficient of friction coating underwent static and kinetic testing that demonstrated a considerable reduction in the surface COF and an increase in abrasion resistance of silicone elastomer substrates. Lubricious coatings can be used to reduce blocking between silicones, but they also have the potential to migrate from the substrate due to their fluid-like consistency. Therefore, the need for a permanent, low coefficient of friction coating that can be applied to silicone elastomers is evident.
