What is the chemical reaction taking place between the applicator and the solution in Bandaid Liquid Bandages?
What is the chemical reaction taking place between the applicator and the solution in Bandaid Liquid Bandages?
their site says:
Q. ” Can you use an ordinary swab instead of the Activator? What happens when Liquid Bandage is applied to a wound?
A. No. You cannot use an ordinary swab. Properly applied with the Activator, the Liquid Bandage forms a waterproof film over the wound, which protects it from water, dirt, and germs to help prevent infection. ** There is a chemical reaction that occurs when the Liquid Bandage is applied to the swab. This chemical reaction helps the Liquid Bandage form a uniform film quickly. If used improperly with a regular swab, the liquid would remain sticky but would not form a film to create the seal.”
however i would like to know what the chemical reaction is and i have searched all over the net and can not find it, it must be somewhere, but i haven’t even had luck looking thru patent searches!
The applicator probably contains a small amount of peroxide (not sure which one) which initiates polymerization of the liquid into a soft plastic bandage. To test if this is right, see if you can get the same result by putting a drop of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab.
