Featured Product: NovaSperse® Healthcare Color Dispersions for LSR and HCR

Our NovaSperse® Healthcare* color dispersions are designed and tested using selected pigments and ingredients to meet USP Class VI requirements and are appropriate for use with addition- and peroxide-cured systems. These medical-grade color dispersions provide complete raw material traceability and are formulated without the use of heavy metals, phthalates, and BPA.

*Our NovaSperse® Healthcare products are not intended for long-term implant (>29 days). These products have passed USP Class VI testing, but NovationSi makes no end-use representation. It is the user’s responsibility to independently test and verify the safety and suitability of the material performance in the intended application.

What’s New: Novel Electrically Conductive Silicone Compounds, Using NovationSi and Zeon Technologies, Are Helping Medical Science

NovationSi recently developed PURmix® HCR healthcare compounds that enhance electrical properties of silicone rubber, using patent-pending technologies that incorporate a revolutionary single-wall carbon nanotube (“SG101”) developed by Zeon Corporation.

By effectively dispersing Zeon’s SG101 single-wall carbon nanotubes into NovationSi’ PURmix® HCR healthcare compounds, the electrically conductive properties of the cured article are greatly enhanced.

A practical application of this novel silicone technology is medical devices that perform neuromodulation therapies on the human body. In fact, the first clinical use of this new silicone compound has already won FDA clearance in suppressing essential tremors and has been released to the medical device market for use on patients under physicians’ care.
