Mineral functional substances
Areas of use and application areas
Mineral functional substances are used as primary raw materials and additives in products for wound care, dressing technology, skin protection and hygiene. Typical application situations range from absorbent wound care to moisture-regulating pads to improving consistencies in pasty or powdery preparations. In everyday clinical practice, they support safe work processes, ensure reliable moisture absorption and contribute to the stability and handling of products.
Typical product types and properties
The category of mineral functional substances includes mineral powders, granules and paste-forming additives that have an absorbing, swelling or structure-forming effect. Important properties are high absorbency, chemical inertness, thermal stability and good miscibility with other formulations. Typical product types are:
- Absorption powders and granules
- Swellable clays and bentonite-based materials
- Calcium and magnesium compounds for moisture regulation
- Fillers and carriers for pasty preparations
Use in everyday practice
By using mineral functional substances, dressing changes can be simplified, exudate can be controlled and the skin environment can be protected. They improve the storage stability of products and enable standardized processing steps in the production of dressing materials or protective pads. The use of inert minerals minimizes the risk of undesirable reactions and supports hygienic processes.
Quality, workmanship and selection criteria
When selecting minerals, the focus is on particle size, absorption capacity, purity and miscibility. Products from manufacturers like Hartmann or B. Braun are often designed to meet appropriate quality requirements and offer tested specifications for medical applications. Attention should be paid to product data sheets and technical information to select appropriate material properties for specific applications.
