NuSil Technology (www. nusil. com), a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace, electronics and photonics, has launched its existing primer technology under new healthcare designations.
NuSil’s line of healthcare primers is based on the company’s existing line of primer technology to aid in bonding silicones to a wide range of difficult substrate surfaces. These healthcare primers will be supported by USP Class VI and 90-day implant testing, per the ISO 10993 standard. In addition, each lot of these new “MED” products undergoes cytotoxicity and trace metals testing. NuSil’s long-term goal is to establish FDA masterfiles for these products.
“Responding to healthcare customer demands, we anticipate the new designations and testing requirements to facilitate their use in the industry by accelerating the regulatory submission process,” Brian Nash, vice president of Marketing and Sales.
Below are the new designations and recommended applications or use:
MED-160: Basic primer/designed for RTV silicones
MED1-161: Designed for use with platinum-cured silicones
MED2-161: Difficult substrates/platinum-cured silicones
MED6-161: Very difficult substrates/platinum-cured silicones
MED-162: Bonding to polycarbonates/platinum-cured silicones
MED-163: Bonding to iridite-coated materials/platinum-cured silicones
