ALBANY, N.Y., -- Momentive Performance Materials has expanded its innovative platform of silicone rubber that can be cured on demand by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light with the introduction of Addisil* UV 60 EX elastomer. The new elastomer, which was demonstrated at MD&M West 2011 in early February, is an excellent candidate to consider for medical applications where lower temperatures are required during manufacturing, yet typical silicone rubber physical properties are also mandatory. "The Addisil platform can lead to innovation in medical device technology," said Lynn Colucci-Mizenko, Global Marketing Director at Momentive. "One possibility is with combination products where silicone rubber-extruded parts are combined with heat-sensitive materials. Some substances used in health care applications may not be able to withstand the high temperatures reached during the typical heat curing process. With Addisil elastomers UV cure technology, however, medical device manufacturers can consider a much broader range of ingredients in their silicone mixtures." In addition, Addisil UV 60 EX elastomer has minimal shrinkage and reduced air entrapment when compared to heat cured materials. It can be used with existing silicone extrusion equipment and common UV light curing systems. "The Addisil technology enables a number of new geometries and technical solutions that were not previously possible," Ms. Colucci-Mizenko added. "Customers have noted the potential for significant cost savings from the processing advantages of extrusion without heat." In addition, significantly shorter cure times can be achieved, resulting in higher throughput manufacturing processes. Addisil UV 60 EX elastomer is the newest addition to a comprehensive portfolio of products from Momentive Performance Materials that are excellent candidates to consider for use in the design and manufacture of medical devices.
