Description
• A clear liquid copolymer consisting of dimethylisiloxane and trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane to provide a lubricious and/or hydrophobic coating, for lubricating the surfaces of molded dimethyl silicone elastomer parts
• Available in standard viscosities of: 350 cP, 1,000 cP, and 12,500 cP
• Custom viscosities available upon request
Applications
• For applications requiring a material that is highly water repellent and resists decomposition from heat and oxidation
• Has reduced solubility, good wetting properties and good lubricative characteristics in contact with plastics, rubber and skin
NuSil Technology's MED-460 may be considered for use in human implantation for a period of greater than 29 days.

Warranty
36 MonthsApplication
Apply directly to surfaces by dipping, spraying, brushing, or wiping. When a very thin film is desired, dilute to 1-5% weight silicone solids in a compatible solvent. Apply this solution to a surface using the above techniques. After applying, allow sufficient time for the solvent to evaporate.

Although MED-460 fluid possesses excellent lubricative characteristics, it may not provide satisfactory lubrication in load-bearing situations, especially those involving metal-to-metal contact.

Thin films of MED-460 fluid on plastics, metal and glass provide a temporary, water-repellent barrier. On materials resistant to thermal distortion, such as glass, ceramics, and metals, this fluid film can be converted to a highly durable hydrophobic film by heating the treated surface. Heating 2 hours at 250????????8????????3C (482????????8????????3F), 1 hour at 276????????8????????3C (536????????8????????3F) or 30 minutes at 300????????8????????3C (572????????8????????3F) is satisfactory.

FDA MASTER FILE
A Master File for MED-460 has been filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Customers interested in authorization to reference the Master File must contact NuSil Technology.

REACh COMPLIANCE
MED-460 is compliant with the Registration, evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals (REACh) regulation (European unio 1907/2006).
