Adhesives for the Medical Industry Catalog

Product catalog summary
Overview: Master Bond Inc. specializes in high-quality medical-grade adhesives that comply with USP Class VI and ISO 10993-5 standards. These adhesives include advanced epoxies, silicones, and specialty systems designed for medical applications, offering comprehensive technical support from design to manufacturing.
Specifications: The adhesives meet USP Class VI and ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity certifications, ensuring biocompatibility and non-cytotoxicity. However, compliance does not equate to FDA approval for medical devices, necessitating further validation.
Product Features: The document details various adhesive products, highlighting properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, sterilization resistance, and curing methods. Key products include:
  • EP3HTMed: High shear strength, fast curing, and sterilization resistance.
  • EP21LVMed: Low viscosity, electrically insulative, suitable for potting and encapsulation.
  • EP42HT-2Med: High bond strength, sterilization resistant, suitable for medical devices.
Packaging Options: Master Bond offers diverse packaging solutions, including FlexiPaks®, dual component packaging, and premixed syringes, ensuring quality and reliability.
Applications: The adhesives are utilized in diagnostic equipment, medical electronics, needle bonding, and orthopedic devices, among others.
Conclusion: Master Bond's adhesives are versatile and meet stringent medical industry standards, but require careful consideration of FDA regulations for device approval.
Epoxy Systems: These include products like EP42HT-2Med Black, EP41SMed, EP62-1Med, and EP77M-FMed, each offering unique features such as high temperature and chemical resistance, fast setting, and electrical conductivity.
Silicone Systems: Products like MasterSil 910Med, MasterSil 912Med, and MasterSil 153Med offer features such as excellent sterilization resistance, non-corrosive curing, and high flexibility.
UV/LED Curable Systems: Products such as UV10TKMed, UV18Med, and UV22DC80-1Med provide high glass transition temperature, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.
Primers/Adhesives for Polyolefins: X18Med & X21Med are solvent-based systems for bonding and priming polyolefinic surfaces, meeting ISO 10993-5 for non-cytotoxicity.
Key Features Across Products: High temperature resistance, excellent electrical insulation, resistance to sterilization methods, and compliance with medical standards such as USP Class VI and ISO 10993-5.
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives: MB297Med and MB250NT are designed for bonding various substrates in medical devices, offering fast setting, high bond strength, and sterilization resistance.
Procedures: For optimal bond strength, surfaces should be cleaned with light sanding and solvent wiping using acetone, xylene, or alcohol. Simple finger pressure is sufficient for bonding.
Typical Properties: MB297Med and MB250NT offer features like high hardness, volume resistivity, and specific thermal expansion coefficients.
Recommendations: The document emphasizes selecting appropriate adhesives for medical devices to maintain performance during and after sterilization, with additional guidance available through white papers.
Additional Information: A variety of epoxy, silicone, elastomer, and light cure systems are available for medical applications, each with specific sterilization resistances and functional attributes.
