NuSil Technology LLC introduces MED-5440, a translucent 100-mol% fluorosilicone elastomer designed for liquid injection molding equipment.
As a fluorosilicone, MED-5440 resists swell when in contact with or immersed in dimethyl fluids and most solvents or oils. Some typical applications for MED-5440 include septa, O-rings, gaskets, seals, and precision molded parts for implant applications requiring silicones of medium durometers that resist swell.
MED-5440 is a two-part silicone rubber with a 1:1 mix ratio and a Type A durometer of 40. Designed for liquid injection molding processes, the MED-5440 cures rapidly when exposed to heat.
