Versatile silicones for medical devices

OPTIMIZE MANUFACTURING WITH BIOCOMPATIBLE HCRS

Medical device production demands silicone components formulated to deliver biocompatibility in the patient and versatility in manufacturing. Whether you’re extruding tubing, calendering sheeting or molding long-term (> 29 days) implantable devices, our HCRs can be tuned to end-use requirements and fabrication processes, such as extrusion, transfer or compression molding and calendering.

NuSil HCRs set the standard for purity and reliability in the medical device industry

• Range of curing system options, including peroxide-catalyzed and platinum-catalyzed HCRs, as well as uncatalyzed HCRs
• Formulated for proven biocompatibility with strong regulatory and documentation support for applications such as balloons, O-rings, stoppers and septa, and diaphragms
• Shapeable “green strength” consistency that will hold its shape until cured

Choosing the right HCR for your application

With versatile physical properties and proven biocompatibility, NuSil HCRs are well-suited for a full range of medical applications and fabrication methods. Our formulas can be customized to your process and end-application performance requirements.
