A two-part silicone rubber MED-5440 is a translucent 100 mol % fluorosilicone elastomer with a 1:1 mix ratio and a Type A durometer of 40 and can be cured rapidly when exposed to heat.
NuSil Technology medical implants marketing and sales director Brian Reilly said MED-5440 can be used for molding high quality silicone parts that require some degree of resistance to solvents, alcohols, fluids or oils.
"This versatile product can be ideal for molding septums, o-rings or gaskets for which swelling is a concern when the device is exposed to certain environments," Reilly added.
