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