Description
- Two-part, translucent silicone system designed for use with injection molding equipment
- Rapid cure with no post-cure required
- 1:1 Mix Ratio (Part A: Part B)
Applications
- For the injection molding of parts requiring a material with a high durometer including: molded rubber stoppers, gaskets, seals, valves, o-rings and other precision parts
- Suitable for over-molding applications
- Can be used with NuSil’s Healthcare color masterbatches for applications requiring colored silicones
NuSil Technology’s SIL-5960 shall not be considered for use in human implantation for a period of greater than 29 days.
Regulatory Support
NuSil Technology’s Class VI (C6) products meet the requirements defined in ISO-10993 for Surface Devices with “limited” (<24 hours) or “prolonged” (1 to 30 days) contact duration.
After post-cure, material meets or exceeds the extraction requirements for FDA regulation 21 CFR 177.2600 “Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use (Food Contact)
