Adhesives That Meet the High-Demand Needs of Medical Device Manufacturers
High quality and unquestionable reliability are two necessary attributes for adhesives that need to be counted on in life-saving situations. Medical device manufacturers have come to trust the special medical device grade adhesives available from Chemical Concepts.
These particular medical device grade adhesives are designed to withstand the difficult conditions encountered in medical use. It’s crucial that these adhesives can withstand multiple and intense sterilization cycles, while maintaining the reliability needed for use in handheld surgical devices and costly diagnostic instruments. With instruments that may make the difference between life and death, it’s necessary for the adhesives used in these devices to be of the utmost quality.
Let’s shine the spotlight on some of the medical device grade adhesives that we carry. All of the choices in the PERMABOND line are Cyanoacrylate adhesives. Cyanoacrylate adhesives are single component adhesives (acrylic monomers also known as instant adhesives) that cure rapidly when pressed into a thin film between parts. The moisture adsorbed on the surface initiates the curing of the adhesive. Strong bonds are developed extremely fast and on a great variety of materials. These properties make PERMABOND cyanoacrylates ideal adhesives for high speed production lines and high-intensity uses like medical devices.
PERMABOND® 4C10 is a low viscosity, high purity, medical device grade, cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is ideal for use on hard-to-bond plastics and rubbers such as natural rubber, EPDM and butyl rubber.
Some of the Features and Benefits to be Expected from PERMABOND® 4C10
- Ideal for hard to bond plastics
- Bonds most materials
- Natural and synthetic rubber bonding
- 100% reactive, no solvents
PERMABOND® 4C20 is an intermediate viscosity, medical device grade, cyanoacrylate that is used to bond through intermediate gaps. It is fast setting and suitable for use on plastics, rubber and metals.
Some of the Features and Benefits to be Expected from PERMABOND® 4C20
- Fast-setting
- Ideal for automated dispensing
- Some gap fill ability
PERMABOND® 4C40 is a medium-high viscosity, medical device grade, cyanoacrylate for large gap fill applications. Permabond® 4C40 provides faster set times and improved gap-filling capability compared to conventional cyanoacrylates. The adhesive bonds to a wide range of substrates including metals, ceramics, plastics and elastomers. It is excellent for bonding difficult-to-bond plastics such as polyacetals. It can also be used on passivated metal surfaces.
Some of the Features and Benefits to be Expected from PERMABOND® 4C20
- Versatile and general purpose
- Good gap fill ability
- Instant setting
- Physical Properties of Uncured Adhesive
