Momentive expands UV cured silicones for medical applications

ERJ staff report (DS)

Albany, New York -- Momentive Performance Materials increased its range of UV-curable silicone elastomers with the introduction of Addisil* UV 60 EX grade. The new elastomer, which was demonstrated at MD&M West 2011 in early February, is aimed at medical applications where lower temperatures are required during manufacturing, yet typical silicone rubber physical properties are also mandatory.

Momentive said, "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. "
