PPI, Premiere Products Inc, is an FDA licensed cosmetic and medical grade product manufacturer. Telesis products have proven to be safe on skin and with high quality performance and wear in the medical, makeup and cosmetic industries. All products have been tested by independent labs for dermal irritation and they do not contain any known carcinogens or cyto-toxins. Telesis 8 Silicone Adhesive has the same high standard formula features of the former Telesis 5 and 7, being medical grade, ethyl acetate-free, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and non-flammable, cruelty free and vegan certified. The numbers in the Telesis line simply represents the order in which they have been introduced to the market, and is NOT indicative of adhesive effectiveness, strength, quality, or performance.
Telesis 8 is a pressure sensitive rapid bonding adhesive, and the go-to choice by professionals for bonding silicone or foam latex pieces smoothly for incredible strength and durability in continuous wear. This is especially important around the eyes and mouth or other areas that are troublesome to glue down and stay down due to high muscle movement under the skin in these areas. Most importantly, the superior, low viscosity - water and perspiration resistant - Telesis 8 formula bonds prosthetics and appliances to the body without damage to skin or prosthetic pieces.
We strongly recommend that you use the Telesis Modifier, in conjunction with the TELESIS 8 Silicone Adhesive to thin out the adhesive when necessary and maintain fluid consistency; as silicone adhesives tend to thicken when the container is repeatedly opened and exposed to air. It’s also the perfect choice to use as a primer for the skin surface before the application of the adhesive. To accelerate the drying time of Telesis 8, prime the skin with the Modifier and then apply Telesis 8 to the appliance. Once the two surfaces connect, the drying time will take only a few moments.
Note: it is highly recommended that the Telesis Remover, be used exclusively to remove Telesis 8 Silicone Adhesive from the skin and appliance. The solvents in this remover have been specially formulated for use in removing the adhesive, as other solvents may not work very well. The Telesis Remover also helps ensure the preservation of the appliances for re-use.
Telesis 8 Silicone Adhesive is also available in a convenient ½ oz pen that is excellent to use for small and quick applications and easy touching up of areas that need it. If you need a slower drying time adhesive, then we suggest Telesis 8S Silicone Adhesive.
“PPI’s Telesis 8 and Silicone Remover are great! The adhesive is really strong on both silicone and foam latex appliances, and it’s actually easier to use than the former Telesis 5 because you don’t have to thin it out as much. The remover is also excellent”
