Bayer MaterialScience at Compamed: to Showcase its Solvent-less Adhesive Formulations for Medical Applications

Leverkusen -- With a broad range of material solutions for medical applications, Bayer MaterialScience is helping customers around the world to improve product performance and curing efficiency. At Compamed 2013 trade fair from November 20-22, in Düsseldorf, the company will showcase current developments at Hall 08b, Booth H30.

These in particular include the newly commercially available products Baymedix AP501 and AR602, which are solvent-free and can be reacted to form skin-friendly adhesives with hydrophilic nature and adjustable adhesive strength. Appropriately adjusted, these formulations allow gentle removal from the skin and will not stick on the moistening wound itself.

Broad range of products for wound dressing

Modern wound management reduces treatment times with minimum pain or allows patients to be moved from in-patient to out-patient, thus reducing nursing effort and costs.

Bayer supports modern wound treatment with innovative polyurethane material solutions. For example, polyurethane raw materials of the Baymedix range are used for different applications in wound dressing, like e.g. skin-friendly adhesives, absorbent foams as well as waterborne coatings for stretchable and resistant backing films.

In addition to the new products mentioned above, Bayer MaterialScience offers Baymedix FP raw materials for reactive foam technology, which enable the production of very smooth and conformable foams that are non-yellowing and fit the moisture management requirements of advanced wound dressings very well.

Waterborne coatings for stretchable and resistant films

Moreover, Bayer MaterialScience has developed a series of Baymedix FD and Baymedix CD aqueous aliphatic polyurethane dispersions for films.
