Abstract:
Siloxane-based gel compositions are prepared from room temperature condensation curable mixtures that include 0.5-45% by weight silicone resin with at least two hydroxyl groups, 99.5-55% by weight of at least one silanol-terminated siloxane fluid, and a co-curable compound with an amino group. The siloxane-based gel compositions can be used as adhesives or sealants in medical articles.
Abstract:
Crosslinked silicone foams are provided that can be substantially free of chemical blowing agents or byproducts thereof. These foams can be prepared from polymerizable silicone compositions that include an MQ-water cluster including a silicate MQ resin and a quantity of water dispersed in the silicate MQ resin and a silicone fluid, wherein the MQ-water cluster and silicone fluid collectively provide a inverted emulsion having a continuous and a discontinuous phase, the continuous phase including the silicone fluid and the discontinuous phase including the MQ-water cluster. The foams can be made by dispersing water into a silicate MQ resin to provide an MQ-water cluster; dispersing the stabilized MQ-water cluster into a silicone fluid to obtain an inverted silicone emulsion having the MQ-water cluster as a discontinuous phase and the silicone fluid as a continuous phase; foaming the silicone emulsion by evolving the water in the MQ-water cluster to provide a cellular structure; and polymerizing the silicone emulsion.
Abstract:
A securement assembly is disclosed that uses a combination of adhesive as well as mechanical fasteners for effectively securing a device to a surface. The securement assembly can be used to protect the surface from the device being secured. The securement assembly comprises an adhering element with a first mechanical fastener and a securing element with a second mechanical fastener, wherein the securing element can serve as both a cover for the adhesive on the adhering element while also providing the securement between the first mechanical fastener and second mechanical fastener.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Siloxane-based gel adhesives with improved shear holding power are prepared from curable compositions. The curable compositions include a siloxane fluid with a viscosity of at least 1,000,000 centiPoise, a siloxane-(meth)acrylate co-polymer, and siloxane tackifying resin. The curable compositions can contain an initiator or can be cured by e-beam radiation without an initiator. The siloxane-(meth)acrylate copolymer is the reaction product of a reaction mixture of an ethylenically unsaturated siloxane-containing macromer, an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer; optionally a reinforcing monomer, and an initiator.
Abstract:
Nonwoven webs are described wherein the web has an inverted MVTR of at least 10,000 g/m2/24 h and a resistance to water penetration of at least 10 min according to EN-20811. In a favored embodiment, the nonwoven web comprises a multi-component fiber. Also described are multi-component fiber comprising a core and outer layer and nonwoven webs comprising such. At least a portion of the outer layer comprises a first melt processable composition comprising a polydiorganosiloxane polyamide copolymer. The core comprises a second melt processable composition that does not comprise a polydiorganosiloxane polymer. The multi-component fiber comprises 5 to 25 wt-% of the polydiorganosiloxane polyamide copolymer
