Carpinteria, California – March 30, 2005 - NuSil Technology, a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace, electronics and photonics, announces the addition of MED-6613-2, a fast-curing black ink, to its line of silicone inks.

Traditional silicone, or RTV, inks require long curing times and can cause a significant bottleneck in the manufacturing process. In addition, these inks often require long waiting periods prior to handling. MED-6613-2, a black, fast-curing ink can be cured in less than one hour, compared to the 24 hours that RTV inks require for a touchable cure.

“We constantly look for ways to increase the efficiency of our products in customers’ production and assembly lines,” said Brian Nash, vice president of Marketing and Sales. “This ink offers some significant process time advantages over traditional RTV silicone inks”.

Each lot of MED-6613-2 is tested for cytotoxicity and trace metals. MED-6613-2 should be evaluated to determine suitability for use in each application. NuSil Technology’s MED-6613-2 is available in 50-gram kits, two-pint kits and two-gallon kits. Those interested in different colored inks may contact NuSil Technology directly at (805) 684-8780.
