Abstract: The invention relates to new laminate showing excellent properties when being adhered to a surface such as the skin. The laminate can for example be used for the preparation of articles such as wound dressings which are used for promoting/supporting the process of the healing of a wound.

Abstract: A dressing including a film which is impermeable to fluids and permeable to water vapor, and the entire surface of which is covered by a perforated reinforcement coated with a medically acceptable adhesive which is the same or different on each of the faces thereof, the face opposite to the face in contact with the impermeable film of an adhesive being partially covered by an absorbent pad, The dressing further includes a layer for distributing the fluids which is positioned between the impermeable film and the perforated reinforcement.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing an adhesive material (1) for a medical application such as a dressing. The method includes at least one step for coating a first surface (2b) of any substrate (4), called receiving substrate, using a layer of previously coated silicone on an anti-adherent liner (3). The silicone layer is an adhesive gel (2). The method further includes, prior to the coating step, a corona treatment step for the surface of the adhesive silicone gel that is intended to coat the receiving substrate (4).

Abstract: An adhesive tape (1) made of silicone is intended for medical applications. The tape (1) has a sheet material (12) based on nonwoven fibers, coated on an internal face (12a) intended to be in contact with the skin, with a barrier membrane (14) which adheres to the sheet material, based on crosslinked silicone polymer, and with a layer (16) of atraumatic and biocompatible silicone adhesive gel, and on an external face (12b), with a layer (18) of a nonstick and waterproof polymer based on a fluorosilicone or fluorocarbon polymer.

Abstract: Highly-deformable sealing strips integrating with fabric assemblies (principally of airbags) are detailed. The strips reduce gas leakage from occurring. They also function as mechanical reinforcements of the assemblies.

Abstract: A cross linkable composition includes a copolymer part being composed of a copolymer of ethylene and an organic acid salt of an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl radical including 26% to 42% by weight of monomer, representing 50% to 90% by weight of the polymer phase; and an acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer having 25% to 50% by weight acrylonitrile, representing 10% to 50% by weight of the polymer phase. It further has carbon black having a specific surface area of less than 170 m2/g, representing 40% to 75% by weight of the polymer phase and additives such as antioxidants, anti-coppers, peroxides, silanes, in quantities that generally remain below 5% of the polymer phase.
