| abstract |
The invention relates to a hot-melt composition, especially for using as an absorbent medical or cosmetic article, preferably as a wound dressing, and containing (a) a chemically cross-linked polymer matrix, and (b) hydrocolloids which are embedded in the chemically cross-linked polymer matrix. The inventive composition can be obtained by processing a melt in a hot melt method, said melt having a melting viscosity of less than 100 Pa*s, preferably less than 75 Pa*s, and especially preferably less than 50 Pa*s, at a processing temperature of less than 150° C., preferably less than 140° C., and especially preferably less than 130° C. |
