USP Class VI Adhesives
USP Class VI Approved Adhesives for Medical Device Applications
Master Bond’s biocompatible adhesives are designed to meet the needs of medical device manufacturers. Compounds withstand various types of sterilization methods.
Master Bond X21Med One component primer/adhesive for polyolefins
Categories: Polymer; Adhesive

Material Notes: Key Features:
  • One component, easy to apply
  • Can be used as a primer or adhesive
  • Cures tough, not rigid
  • Cures at ambient or elevated temperatures
Master Bond X21Med is a specially formulated one component system for bonding and priming polyolefinic surfaces. X21Med is a very low viscosity (<250 cps) solvent based system that is easy to apply and process. Most often, it is used as a primer to promote adhesion of polyolefinic substrates to other kinds of materials, such as metals, ceramics, composites and other kinds of plastics. When employed as a primer, X21Med is applied in a very thin layer on to the polyolefinic piece and the solvent allowed to evaporate. This will take place typically in 2-4 hours and can be greatly accelerated by adding heat (15-30 minutes at 150-200°F). After the surface is primed in this manner, an epoxy or silicone is prepared and applied to the substrates, and then allowed to cure. When used in this fashion, X21Med is a bonding promoter, allowing adhesion to this low energy type of plastic (polyolefin) in a process that is relatively simple and straightforward. X21Med can also be used as an adhesive for bonding one polyolefin to another one. When used in this manner, a thin layer of X21Med is applied to each surface. The surfaces are then mated and the solvent is allowed to evaporate. When cured at room temperature, it will generally set up in 30-45 minutes with full cures in 12-24 hours. If cured at 150°F the curing time will be 1-2 hours. When being used as an adhesive, the maximum area of effectiveness for X21Med is about 1 square inch. When used as a primer, there is no such limitation in the size of the pieces. The polyolefin family of plastics is used in almost every kind of industry including aerospace, electronic, OEM, medical devices, among so many others. Using X21Med as a primer offers many advantages in handling and processing when compared to other methods of treating polyolefinic materials to allow for good adhesion.

Product Advantages:

  • Low viscosity, easy to apply
  • Can be used as an adhesive, primer or adhesion promoter
  • Surfaces primed with X21 are compatible with a wide variety of adhesives
  • Easier to use than other methods of pretreating polyolefinsl devices
  • Passes ISO 10993-5 for medical devices
