Limitations of Self-adhesive LR

Secondly, if an application implying self-adhesive LR requires reliable bonding over the whole service period, extensive testing will be necessary prior to its use. 

At the moment self-adhesive LR cannot be used in medical device technology as no testing according to protocols like ISO 10993-1 [14] or USP Class VI [15] has been carried out. Medical devices should be using post-cured silicone rubbers only. One of the latest developments is a self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber which is compliant to BgW and FDA, as post cured. It adheres to PBT and PA only.
