Aging Study of Silicone Materials in Simulated Gastric Fluid
Matthew Lindberg NuSil Technology
Case Study: Aging Study of Silicone Materials in Simulated Gastric Fluid

A study was performed to evaluate the properties of silicones in what is deemed to be the harshest environment of the human body: gastric acid. In this investigation, dimethyl, diphenyl, and trifluoropropyl silicones were tested and the changes in the product’s physical properties such as elongation and tensile strength were recorded and evaluated.

Press Release – healthcare silicone elastomers

February 4th, 2011


NUSIL ANNOUNCES THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE SILICONES FOR HEALTHCARE APPLICATIONS

Thermally Conductive Silicones For Healthcare Applications NuSil Technology LLC, the global leader in silicone materials for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, introduces two thermally conductive healthcare silicone elastomers. These elastomers can be used as a cure-in-place adhesive or potting compound between electrical/electric components and heat sinks as part of a thermal management regime to keep medical devices operating at their optimal levels.

MED-2980 and MED-2955 are able to wet out on a variety of substrates to ensure excellent contact between uneven surfaces. The low modulus characteristic of these elastomers ensures that, during operational thermal cycling, the bond line will not warp or break sensitive electronic components.

Benefits of Siliconization

February 4th, 2011

Lubricious Silicone Coatings and LubricantsSilicones are known for their feel-enhancing effects and lubricity. Silicones provide effective lubrication solutions for many medical device applications by:

  • Spontaneously spreading out in thin films
  • Reducing the coefficient of friction, insertion force, and machine-ability
  • Minimizing break-loose and extrusion forces
  • Alleviating any discomfort a patient may experience during insertion and removal of a device
