Silicones for Highly Elastic Bonds



Silicones for Highly Elastic Bonds
Wacker AG, Munich, Germany, has developed a biocompatible silicone adhesive for medical applications. Marketed under the brand name Silpuran 4200, this condensation-curing silicone rubber formulation is an easy-to-process, single-component adhesive with excellent adhesion properties. Upon vulcanization, Silpuran 4200 forms a silicone elastomer with outstanding mechanical strength, making it ideal for permanently bonding components of medical devices.  http://thechemistrysideoftheforce.blogspot.com/  

The new adhesive represents an expansion of the chemical company’s existing line of silicone products designed for use in the medical industry. Silpuran 4200 is formulated with a new catalyst that does not use organotin compounds. This makes this new silicone adhesive particularly safe to use from a health standpoint. Like all products in the Silpuran series, the new adhesive has also been certified as biocompatible in accordance with selected ISO 10993-1 and USP Class VI tests.
