Carpinteria, California - October 16, 2007 - NuSil Technology, a
cutting-edge manufacturer of silicone-based materials for healthcare, aerospace,
electronics and photonics, has launched an extension to its line of healthcare gels. MED-
6380 is ideal for use in healthcare applications that require an unfilled, room-temperature
vulcanizing (RTV) material.
The low cure temperature of this material makes it ideal for incorporating heat-sensitive
additives such as pharmaceutical compounds, biocides, excipients and other functional
fillers. The MED-6380 firm RTV gel cures without heat and is filler-free. In addition, this
pourable, three-component gel can be molded or used as a soft, conformal coating.
“This addition to NuSil’s product line offer customers even more options for healthcare
and drug delivery applications,” said Brian Nash, vice president of Marketing and Sales.
“We believe the low temperature cure creates more device possibilities incorporating
temperature sensitive active pharmaceuticals and excipients.”
NuSil’s MED-6380 is available in one-pint packaging. For more information please call (805) 684-8780.
