Restricted Healthcare Silicones Definition: NuSil Technology's restricted materials may be considered for use in short-term implant applications, 29 days or less, or for external applications.
Silicone adhesives are elastomers or pressure sensitive adhesive systems that are designed to bond silicone surfaces to each other and to other substrate surfaces such as metals and plastics. There are one-part and two-part adhesives, ranging in consistency from flowable to non-flowable (non-slump).
In general, silicone adhesives adhere well to substrates such as glass, aluminum, titanium, other silicones, and some ceramics. While various types of materials can be used as adhesives, silicones are consistently chosen for their many inherent properties and overall versatility.
