Silbione® Skin Adhesives Providing gentle ... - Bluestar Silicones

Designed specifically for skin contact applications, Bluestar Silicones Silbione ® Skin Adhesives provide gentle,
non-irritating adhesion, even to the most delicate skin.
Silbione ® Skin Adhesives are two-part platinum catalyzed silicone gel elastomers, manufactured in a clean environment
to ensure healthcare grade levels of purity and quality. Available in a variety of tack properties and viscosities,
Bluestar Silicones can help you achieve the desired performance for your targeted application.
Silicones have long been recognized as biocompatible and effective materials for a variety of wound and
skin care applications, including:
► Wound dressings and bandages ► Medical and fashion tapes
► Transdermal patches for cosmetic and active delivery ► Scar management
Key properties silicones offer include:
► Soft, Gentle Adhesion for Easy, Painless and Non-Traumatic Removal --
The hydrophobic nature of silicones enables gentle adhesion to dry skin. For wound
care applications, this means adherence around the periphery of a wound only,
without adherence to the wound itself. Bluestar Silicones’ Silbione ® Skin Adhesives
maintain low peel force enabling easy removal without skin stripping that can cause
pain and secondary trauma to newly formed tissue.
► Repositionable – Silbione ® Skin Adhesives retain adhesion properties upon removal,
so they may be repositioned for several applications.
► Reusable – Silbione ® Skin Adhesives may be washed and reused.
► Facilitates Healing – Silbione ® Skin Adhesives are gas permeable, allowing the skin
to breathe.
