Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Dow DOWSIL EA-9189 H?
A: Dow DOWSIL EA-9189 H is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual components have CAS numbers (e.g., Part A: 68083-19-2; Part B: 1332-21-4), but the blended product is not assigned a single CAS number per IUPAC and EPA guidelines.
Q2: What is the recommended mix ratio and minimum/maximum processing thickness?
A: Mix ratio is 1:1 by weight. Minimum recommended cured thickness is 0.5 mm for full property development; maximum practical thickness is 12 mm without extended post-cure to ensure complete crosslinking.
Q3: How does EA-9189 H compare to DOWSIL EA-9185 in terms of migration and extractables?
A: EA-9189 H exhibits significantly lower volatile methylsiloxane (VMS) and cyclic siloxane (D3–D6) extractables vs. EA-9185, verified per USP <661.2> and ISO 10993-12 extraction protocols — making it preferred for implant-adjacent and microfluidic applications.
Q4: Is EA-9189 H compliant with EU MDR 2017/745 for Class IIa devices?
A: Yes — when processed per Dow’s validated curing profile and used with approved substrates, EA-9189 H supports biocompatibility data packages required for Class IIa device submission, including ISO 10993-1, -5, -10, and -12 testing.
