Silicone surfaces coated with a curable heat compound have a coefficient of friction that is at least 50% less than that of a noncoated silicone surface. MED-6670 is designed to overcome silicone’s tackiness and tendency to block in applications in which parts made out of the material (such as precision molded parts, molded rubber stoppers, or O-rings) come into contact with each other. The product is a two-part, low-coefficient-of-friction coating dispersed in xylene. A thin coat cures rapidly with elevated temperatures. Once cured, the coating chemically bonds to the silicone elastomer substrate, mimicking its mechanical properties. The result is a smooth finish with durable, flexible coating that resists abrasion from moving, sliding, and rubbing parts. MED-6670 is designated unrestricted and safe for use in human implantation of 29 days or longer.
