Chemically and industrially, Technogel® is a polyurethane material head and shoulders above the others on the market, because of the following characteristics:
-it is totally free from plastizing agents and other volatile agents. This means that its components cannot split free (they do not migrate), causing substance desegregation;
- it does not harden or age and keeps its elastic-mechanical properties for a considerable time. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that it is able to withstand more than 300.000 pressure cycles without deformation, against the 6.000 of normal gels.
- its polyurethane base is completely non-toxic. The polyurethane is used to make the plastic bags to contain hospital blood and Technogel® isused in prosteses in direct contact with injured parts.
- it can be injected like a foam inside moulds with large – even if not ablolute – degrees of liberty in the shapes.
