MedQ^TM Medical Grade Silicone

4247M: A Step-up from 4247 USP Class VI Single-use Silicone! A Second Option for Secure Supply!

Newman Sanitary Gasket, a MedQ Medical Grade Silicone Sanitary Gasket Manufacturer, is pleased to announce a new addition to our high purity compound lineup. Newman 4247M MedQ^TM Medical Grade Platinum-cured Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) for the Single-use Industry: a step up from 4247 USP Class VI Silicone (still available!). 4247M means more sanitary gasket supply options and broadens the applications of our single-use gaskets! “M” means Medical Grade: with More choices, More certifications, and More applications!

4247M: Fully Compliant Biomedical Grade Liquid Silicone – for high volume sanitary gaskets and O-rings!
4247M: An added source of supply for Newman 4247 Single-use silicone – separate supply stream!
4247M: The perfect partner for Newman 4749 Medical Grade HCR (High Consistency Rubber, used for compression molding and extrusions, not generally for high-volume parts)!

During the past 20 years, Newman 4247 USP Class VI Platinum-Cured Silicone LSR gasket manufacturing has become the Gold Standard material for Single-use sanitary gaskets around the world. With unparalleled purity and performance, it has been the mainstay during the recent pandemic for vaccines and other biologics. 4247M MedQ^TM exceeds Newman 4247 in both certifications and its uses in the medical device industry.

Together with world recognized Newman 4749 Medical Grade Platinum-cured HCR, Newman 4247M MedQ^TM Medical Grade Platinum-cured LSR “closes the loop” to supply all your Biopharmaceutical and Medical grade sealing applications, from the smallest quantities and most complex geometries to the highest volume, simple gasket and O-ring.

Should silicone supply ever become an issue like it was during the pandemic, Newman 4247M MedQ^TM, with its separate material supply chain from Newman 4247, but using Newman designs, tooling, processes and personnel for consistency, will help ensure that your drug product or medical device has uninterrupted supply, both to your company and the patient. Validate both 4247 and 4247M for your safety!
