KEMAT polybutenes are pure, clean, non-toxic and safe for use in skin applications
KEMAT polybutenes have exceptional low temperature flexibility, non-toxicity and light colour, which makes them ideal for use in medical applications. Medical adhesives required for human contact, eg patches, surgical and medical tapes, wound care products and ostomy devices, are usually based on PIB.
PIB-based PSAs (pressure sensitive adhesives) are frequently used in transdermal drug delivery (TDD) systems. TDD systems are drug-filled adhesive patches that, when applied to the skin, release the therapeutic agent at a controlled rate.
KEMAT has specialist knowledge and a portfolio to help you create the correct medical adhesive designed for your application. KEMAT polybutenes are pure, clean, non-toxic and safe for use in skin applications.
KEMAT offers low molecular weight conventional polybutenes: Polybut™as well as medium and high molecular weight polyisobutenes: Polybol™. They are ideal for PSA applications.
