Abstract
A method of improving the wet-strength characteristics of a plaster of Paris cast is disclosed. The cast bandage is immersed in dip water which contains 2%-15% by weight of a paraffin wax. The wax is dispersed in the dip water by a nonionic or cationic surfactant, and the dip water is maintained at a pH of 7.5 or less. The resulting cast has improved water-resistant properties.
