RTU Hot-Melt Adhesive

1 of 25 products in this brand
RTU Hot-Melt Adhesive is a standard hotmelt silicone adhesive, specifically designed for transdermal drug delivery systems. It can be melted for coating, and then will return to a generally flowless state upon cooling. RTU Hot-Melt Adhesive adhesives are permeable to many drugs and excipients and are designed to adhere drug-loaded systems to the skin. RTU Hot-Melt Adhesive is produced through a condensation reaction of a silanol endblocked polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) with a silicate resin. The addition of a PDMS plasticizer to the condensate provides the adhesives hot melt characteristics.
