Blue BIBO Bag-in-Bag-out Filter Housing Gel Seal

Product Overview:
Hong Ye HY-9400 is a premium two-component addition-cure platinum catalyzed blue jelly gel specifically engineered for zero-leakage liquid tank sealing in bag-in/bag-out (BIBO) filter housings for high-containment pharmaceutical and biosafety facilities. With a buttery soft consistency measured at a penetration of 200 plus or minus 30 (0.1mm) and a permanently tacky surface, HY-9400 delivers reliable long-life sealing and protection that outlasts conventional gaskets, foams and caulks by a wide margin. The product is mixed 1:1 by weight, self-levels after pouring, cures at room temperature within 4 to 6 hours, and requires no vacuum degassing, making it one of the easiest high-performance gels to deploy on production lines worldwide. As a low viscosity fast flow grade, this variant pours easily into narrow channels and complex cavities, levels quickly with minimal bubbles, and is optimized for automated meter-mix dispensing on high-speed lines. It is specifically formulated for the knife-edge gel channels of BIBO housings used with high-potency pharmaceutical compounds, cytotoxic drugs and BSL-3/BSL-4 laboratories, where filters are changed inside sealed protective bags without exposing personnel or the room to hazardous contaminants. The gel must withstand repeated hydrogen peroxide vapor (VHP) and formaldehyde decontamination cycles while remaining soft and resealable. (EN) Backed by Hong Ye’s nearly 20 years of silicone manufacturing expertise and supplied to customers in over 60 countries, HY-9400 combines the performance of premium imported gels with the cost efficiency, short lead time and responsive technical support of a Chinese manufacturer. Whether you are running a first sample trial or ramping to full production, Hong Ye delivers consistent batch-to-batch quality, comprehensive documentation and application engineering support from first sample through full production.

Addition-cure silicone gel is not classified as dangerous goods under most transport regulations, simplifying international shipping. All shipments include commercial invoice, packing list, COA and safety data sheet.

Storage:
Store sealed containers in a dry, ventilated area below 25C, away from direct sunlight, sulfur-containing materials, amines, food and strong chemicals. Shelf life is 12 months from manufacture date. Reseal unused material immediately after dispensing. Refrigerated storage at 5-15C can extend shelf life; allow material to return to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.

FAQ:
Q: How long does the gel take to cure and can I speed it up?
A: At 25C the gel reaches touch-dry in 4 to 6 hours and full properties after 24 hours. For mass production, heat-curing at 60 to 80C reduces demolding time to 30 to 60 minutes. Do not exceed 100C as it may cause discoloration or surface defects. Low temperatures below 15C will significantly slow the cure.
Q: Will the gel self-heal after a filter is removed and reinserted?
A: Yes. The cured gel remains permanently tacky and soft. When the knife edge is lifted, the gel temporarily separates; when reinserted, it flows back around the blade within minutes, restoring the airtight seal. This self-healing property is a key advantage over compressed gaskets and is especially valuable during periodic filter replacement.
Q: What is the shelf life and how should the gel be stored?
A: Sealed containers have a 12 month shelf life when stored below 25C in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Reseal unused material immediately. Keep components A and B separate and away from sulfur-containing materials, amines, food and strong chemicals.
Q: Can old gel in a filter tank or housing be topped up?
A: Yes. If the existing gel is still clean, soft and tacky, wipe the surface with a dry cloth and pour fresh gel on top. The fresh addition-cure gel bonds chemically to the clean cured gel. If the old gel has hardened, dried out, yellowed or become contaminated, remove it completely, clean the channel and refill.
