Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Dow DOWSIL SE 1714?
A: Dow DOWSIL SE 1714 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to its base polymer (CAS 63148-62-9), crosslinker (CAS 68037-59-2), and catalyst (CAS 12151-77-0). Full composition details are available under NDA upon request.
Q2: What is the recommended mix ratio and pot life after mixing?
A: The standard mix ratio is 1:1 by weight (Part A:Part B). At 25 °C, the working life (pot life) is approximately 24 hours before viscosity increase exceeds processing limits; refrigerated storage (5–10 °C) extends usability to 72 hours.
Q3: How does Dow DOWSIL SE 1714 compare to Dow DOWSIL SE 1700 in terms of flow and cure speed?
A: SE 1714 offers ~30% lower viscosity and ~25% faster cure kinetics than SE 1700 at equivalent temperatures, making it preferred for ultra-thin wall geometries and high-cycle production, while maintaining comparable biocompatibility and mechanical performance.
Q4: Are extractable levels validated for parenteral drug contact applications?
A: Yes — per ICH Q5C and PQRI guidelines, extractables profiling (via GC-MS and LC-MS/MS) confirms total organic extractables < 5 µg/g after 7-day extraction in water and 0.9% saline at 50 °C, supporting use in Class II/III drug delivery systems.
Q5: Does Dow provide migration data for ISO 10993-17 (toxicological risk assessment)?
A: Yes — comprehensive migration studies (simulated use conditions per ISO 10993-17 Annex D) support threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) compliance for all intended patient-contact durations, including chronic (≥30 days) exposure scenarios.
