Dip Molding.Dip molding. This brochure details recent developments in non-allergenic alternatives to natural rubber latex latex, emulsion of a polymer (e.g., rubber) in water (see colloid). Natural latexes are produced by a number of plants, are usually white in color, and often contain, in addition to rubber, various gums, oils, and waxes. , focusing on polyurethane polyurethane Any of a class of very versatile polymers that are made into flexible and rigid foams, fibres, elastomers (elastic polymers), surface coatings, and adhesives. and silicone applications. The firm is a developer and manufacturer of radiopaque ra·di·o·paque adj. Relatively impenetrable by x-rays or other forms of radiation. radiopaque (rā´dēōpāk´), adj polymer formulations for medical applications. The literature discusses materials solutions and fabrications strategies to meet marketplace demands for alternatives to natural rubber latex. The piece covers such topics as the limitations of latex, polyurethanes used in medical devices, silicones and biocompatibility biocompatibility the quality of not having toxic or injurious effects on biological systems. biocompatibility 1. The extent to which a foreign, usually implanted, material elicits an immune or other response in a recipient 2. , polyurethanes and silicone properties, low pressure balloon technology, in addition to dip molding and polyurethane processing developments. A comprehensive chart compares the physical properties of dip molded materials. (Polyzen) Circle 118 on card |
