Medical Silicone Conference 2010
Bob Umland, National Sales Manager, will be presenting “Silicones for Long Term Implantable Devices” at the conference on Tuesday, April 6 at 11:30am.
This presentation will provide an understanding of silicones for long-term implantation and identify the importance of support for applicable regulatory standards and requirements, including FDA Master Files. It will also take a look into the future of devices and the increasing demands for combination products and define the benefits of finding a supplier than can incorporate Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients into their silicones, andfurther, provide regulatory supportsuch as Drug Master Files.
NuSil will also highlight a newly developed material, MED-6670, a curable coating that decreases the coefficient of friction (CoF) of a cured silicone surface by a minimum of 50%, when compared to a non-coated silicone surface.
Silicone elastomers inherently have a high degree of surface tack and a tendency for blocking (sticking to themselves by virtue of chemical affinity), which may cause problems in applications where they come in contact with each other or other surfaces. MED-6670 is designed to overcome these obstacles in applications where silicones come in contact with each other, such as precision molded parts, molded rubber stoppers or O-rings.
If you have any questions about MED-6670, or any of our other products and services, please do not hesitate to contact us at 805-684-8780 or silicone@nusil.com
