SSP makes low durometer medical silicones that are soft and compressible. They’re also USP Class VI compliant.
The SSP-2390 family of products includes platinum-cured silicones in 10, 20, and 30 durometer (Shore A). These translucent, heat-cured elastomers are FDA CFR 177.2600, USP Class VI, and RoHS compliant. Tensile strength, elongation, Tear B, and specific gravity vary with durometer.
Because SSP-2390 silicones are platinum-cured, these specialty elastomers have lower levels of extractables – chemical compounds that migrate under conditions such as elevated temperature or surface exposure. Compared to peroxide-cured elastomers, platinum-cured silicones also offer greater control over cure rates and crosslinking. They’re more consistent in terms of physical appearance, too.
