Master Bond Inc. is a leader in the design, formulation and manufacture
of adhesives, sealants, coatings and potting compounds for the assembly
of both disposable and reusable medical devices. Master Bond’s
product line includes epoxies, urethanes, silicones, cyanoacylates,
and specialty solvent based systems. These user friendly products
can be cured at ambient and/or elevated temperatures or by exposure
to UV light. Specific formulations fully meet the USP Class VI protocol.
Master Bond’s technical staff welcomes the opportunity to
provide assistance to medical device manufacturers in the solution
of specific assembly problems.
Master Bond adhesives, sealant, coatings and potting compounds
can simplify and enhance the performance of many critical medical
devices. Formulations have been developed which offer high physical
strength properties and outstanding chemical resistance even when
applied on dissimilar or difficult-to-bond materials. Additionally,
selected products retain their desirable performance upon exposure
to various sterilization procedures including autoclaving, radiation,
ethylene oxide and the recently developed cold sterilants. Specifically
developed technologies for treating specific substrates are commercially
available to assure optimal performance even upon exposure to severe
environmental conditions, as well as contact with a wide variety
of fluids and occasional abuse.
Master Bond has been very active in developing new Class VI type
formulations for the medical device industry. Of particular interest
is EP30DPMed; a flexible epoxy
system with excellent bond strength and good flow for sealing and
encapsulation. Another Class VI product of note is EP45HTMed,
which offers the ultimate in temperature and chemical resistance.
It can withstand hundreds of autoclaving cycles. In addition to
those products, Master Bond now offers a Class VI two-part addition
cured silicone called MasterSil 151Med.
It has wide applicability as an adhesive for silicone type products
and as an encapsulant or sealant for electronic devices. These compounds
can be used in a wide variety of devices such as diagnostic instruments
(endoscopes, etc.), surgical tools, catheters and implantables.
