NuSil MED-4550

NuSil Technology's unrestricted materials may be considered for long-term implant applications (greater than 29 days).

HCRs can be used for extrusion of tubing and profi les (rod or ribbon), in calendared sheeting for die-cutting, or in compression or transfer molded parts such as balloons, gaskets or o-rings. HCRs are clay-like in the uncured state and when cured generally exhibit very high mechanical properties and low modulus.

HCRs with a peroxide cure system have a long history in implant applications. The cure mechanism can be vinyl specific or non vinyl specific. Non vinyl specific peroxide catalysts are more commonly used with HCRs than vinyl specific peroxide catalysts.
