New Low-Pressure Molding Materials Protect Medical Electronics
DÜSSELDORF, Germany—Henkel has introduced three new low pressure molding (LPM) materials designed to seal and protect medical devices from moisture, temperature extremes, chemicals, vibration, impact and other environmental concerns.
Applied with a gentle, low pressure process, Loctite PA 6732, Loctite PA 6682 and Loctite PA 6951 completely encapsulate medical devices including catheters, tube sets, connectors, surgical tools, sensors and switches. All three LPM products are tested to Henkel’s protocols based upon ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards, including skin sensitization.
