Silicone for Food Contact
A Food Contact Substance (FCN) is defined as “any substance intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use is not intended to have a technical effect in such food” (21 U.S.C. 348 (h) (6)).
The newest addition, R-3930, is a one-part fluorosilicone elastomer with robust physical properties. This material is designed for fuel and solvent resistance and is noted for its ice phobic properties.
Press Release
Carpinteria, California – June 16, 2009– NuSil Technology (http://www.nusil.com), a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for aerospace, aircraft, electronics and photonics industries, announces the launch of an extension to its line of adhesives and sealants. R-3930 is a fluorosilicone, one-part silicone elastomer designed to cure under ambient conditions.
Tested alongside fuels, such as JP8 and DiEGME,
NuSil’s R-3930 is ideal for coating, sealing and bonding applications requiring fuel or solvent resistance. This unique elastomer is a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone elastomer dispersed in tertbutyl (T-butyl) acetate with a wide operating temperature range.

Solvent Resistant Silicone for Sensor Applications
NuSil Technology is a cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone materials for industries requiring precise and predictable custom formulations. Our standard solvent resistant materials are cost effective alternatives to custom development. The line of fluorosilicone based silicones is compromised of encapsulants, adhesives, gels, foams and dispersion fluids.
Solvent resistant silicones are historically used for applications that require fuel or hydrocarbon resistance. These are common in the aerospace, aircraft and automotive industries to maintain thermal stability at temperatures above 200ºC and have a low percent swell.

Let’s look at the basics and slowly move towards the information specific to your requirements. Are you keen to go on training courses?
We are only going to charge very small fees to assist you in your silicone choices. Talk with us and then you decide how much the infomation is worth, taking into consideration the time we may put in to helping you.
In these difficult recessional times, perhaps the first cautious step to take when requiring information on silicones is to contact the www.siliconeme.uk website.
This site takes a fresh look at being the compass of your ideas and will direct you towards the perfect silicone solution or even the most appropriate way to process the chosen silicone elastomer.
Please don’t be shy and use this website to find a way of solving your design problems.
The problems you have are perhaps;
Product currently being used is being discontinued?
Can we clone or copy this material or improve it?
Is your current supplier letting you down?
Lot to lot consistency required?
Only a very small user but wish to source sporadically or even just once a year?
Environmental conditions are extreme?
High Purity required?
Ethical?
Need help with mixing your special fillers or ingredients?
Need help with dispensing?
Training?
Keep Britain manufacturing, let’s make sure this boat is being loaded with goods for export, and not for import.
