Derma-tac™ *NOTE: Product Packaging May Vary

Derma-tac™ silicone prosthetic adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive designed for temporarily adhering silicone and latex makeup prosthetic appliances to the skin.

Derma-tac™ is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory. This is a low odor formulation which is cosmetic grade and non-irritating.

Note: If adhering appliances created without a cap plastic membrane and made using Ecoflex™ silicone, using Skin Tite™ skin safe silicone adhesive will produce a better bond.

Preparation - Clean the skin with soap and water to remove any oils which may affect the bond of the Derma-tac™ adhesive. Allow skin to dry completely.


APPLICATION & REMOVAL...
Accelerating / Lowering Viscosity – Drying time can be reduced with NOVOCS™ Gloss Silicone Solvent. Adding 10% NOVOCS™ Gloss by weight will lower viscosity and reduce dry time by about ½.
Application - Derma-tac™ adhesive can be applied using a cotton swab, non-latex makeup sponge or suitable makeup brush. Apply adhesive to the surface of the skin or appliance.
