NOTES:● Container(s) should be kept closed when not in use.
● Filled systems should be stirred thoroughly before mixing and prior to use.
● Performance properties (rheology, conductivity, others) of the product may vary from those stated on the data sheet when bi-pak/syringe packaging or
post-processing of any kind is performed. Epoxy’s warranties shall not apply to any products that have been reprocessd or repackaged from Epoxy’s
delivered status/container into any other containers of any kind, including but not limited to syringes, bi-paks, cartridges, pouches, tubes, capsules, films
or other packages.
● Thermal post-cure beneficial – contact techserv@epotek.com for recommendations.

Product Description: EPO-TEK® MED-OG116-31 is a biocompatible, one component, thixotropic, high Tg, cationic/epoxy UV curing
adhesive. With thermal post curing, this UV has very high chemical resistance and is used in many types of implantable medicaldevices, specialized surgical and dental tools, as well as fiber optic lasers and catheters.
Typical Properties: Cure condition: UV 100mW/cm2 320-500nm/2 Minutes + 80°C/2 Hours

Biocompatibility Approvals• EPO-TEK® MED-OG116-31 is cured with UV for 2 minutes plus 80°C for 2 hours is ISO 10993 certified, meeting Hemolysis (10993-4),
Cytotoxicity (10993-5), Implantation (10993-6), Intracutaneous (10993-10), Sensitization (10993-10) and Systemic Toxicity (10993-11) test protocols

Sterilization Information• Epoxy performance is most influenced by surface preparation and cleanliness, overall process and handling, and finally proper curing selection. Whilebulk samples of MED-OG116-31 may resist sterilization technologies such as autoclave steam, gaseous technologies, gamma radiation as well as liquid
disinfectants, the glue joints may differ. All users need to determine the suitability of MED-OF116-31 for their given application.
• MED-OG116-31 is generally regarded for resisting few ETO sterilization cycles.
• MED-OG116-31 is Sterrad® 100NX resistant, anecdotally reported. Gamma radiation/ion beam will discolor MED-OG116-31 thus altering its UV-VIS
transmission.
See Technical Tip #29: Gamma Sterilization for Medical Devices and its Effect on Epoxies for more information:
