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 MB297Med Ethyl Cyanoacrylate Biocompatible Adhesive System
Categories: Polymer; Adhesive; Thermoset; Acrylic/Cyanoacrylate Adhesive

Material Notes: Key Features:
  • One component, no mix system
  • Meets USP Class VI specifications
  • Fast setting
  • Rapid fixture time
Product Description: Master Bond MB297Med is a single component ethyl cyanoacrylate type adhesive. This high strength, rapid curing system is used primarily for medical device assembly. MB297Med is a higher viscosity (2,200-2,400 cps) cyanoacrylate. This kind of system, which is commonly referred to as an instant adhesive or super glue, cures very rapidly with the rate of cure dependent upon the humidity—the higher it is, the faster the cure. Because curing is normally so fast, minimal contact pressure is usually sufficient for bonding. It must be emphasized that this high strength system requires no heating or mixing. It typically sets up within 20-50 seconds depending upon the humidity and the substrates. The bond strength is exceptionally high in the shear mode. MB297Med bonds well to a variety of substrates especially metals, plastics and rubbers. The service temperature range for this system is -60°F to +250°F. Most importantly, MB297Med meets USP Class VI specifications for biocompatibility. MB297Med can be used in a wide array of different medical applications ranging from repair to high speed production. It has first rate resistance to EtO and gamma sterilization processes. Although many of the applications for MB297Med involve disposable type medical devices, it also can be utilized with reusable ones depending upon the service conditions.

Product Advantages:

  • Rapid curing at room temperature; usually sets up within 1 minute
  • No heating or mixing
  • Contact pressure usually sufficient for fixturing
  • Bonds well to a wide variety of substrates
  • Excellent resistance to EtO and gamma sterilization
  • Passes USP Class VI testing
  • Well suited for disposable and reusable medical devices
