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

NUSIL ANNOUNCES 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.

Common inks tend to fail when introduced to extreme conditions or silicone substrates. NuSil Technology offers silicone inks designed to address this challenge. The R-1008-X silicone ink series is non-corrosive and features excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, especially to other silicones. The unique materials are one-part, flowable silicone dispersions that cure rapidly at room temperature when exposed to atmospheric moisture. More…
Fluorosilicones resist degradation when exposed to jet fuel, solvents, gasoline, or crude oil and operate in a broad range of temperatures.
Controlled Volatility RTV Silicone Foam
CV-2391 Yields a low to medium density silicone rubber foam when rapidly catalyzed with a low viscosity from a 1:10 Mix Ratio.
Applications in shock and vibration dampening situations requiring a lightweight, flexible foam. For intricate back-filling due to a low viscosity in applications requiring low outgassing and minimal volatile condensable materials.
Lightweight and Ultra Low Outgassing™ Adhesive
SCV-2586 is a lightweight, thermally stable adhesive, provides Ultra Low Outgassing™ characteristics for Aerospace and Electronics applications.
Polymer Systems Technology Ltd recently added SCV-2586 to its line of Ultra Low Outgassing™ silicone materials. SCV-2586 is a lightweight adhesive for applications requiring thermal stability and a broad operating temperature range in which volatile condensables and outgassing are a concern.
Optically clear, high durometer silicone lens
Two-part, optically clear, non-phenyl containing addition cure silicone designed to stay thermo-optically stable with heat and Uvexposure.
For molding or casting hard, non-yellowing lenses for LED, solar or other applications where a hard, optically-stable silicone is needed. Viscosity is designed to be used with conventional Liquid Injection Molding equipment and the material is self-leveling for casting application techniques.
