Aquamed Sheet Hydrogel
Aquamed Technologies, Inc. specializes in custom made hydrogels and foams which are available in either roll stock or as finished product. Aquamed products are utilized in a variety of applications:
Sheet Hydrogels
Hydrogels are gel-like or colloidal substances made of water and solids. They can be created chemically (through a combination of ultra violet cross-linking and chemical interface), or by mixing polymer and water then exposing it to an electron beam creating a "sheet" of water. Currently, and for the foreseeable future, all of the hydrogel products that we produce are electron beam cross-linked, water and polymer gels, a category in which our hydrogels have a significant competitive advantage, in part due to the following product characteristics: painless adhesion to the human body; stability of form and composition; purity; reproducibility (manufacturing high quality product on a consistent basis); compatibility with active ingredients; and high water content.

The Company manufactures its product line in a cGMP compliant facility in the United States. We pride ourselves in our ability to meet tight tolerances with respect to customer specifications and our ability to customize our products for our client's specific needs. Our gels are receptive to a wide variety of ingredients and actives. Many of the competitive products feature physical characteristics which are less desirable than those of the Company's gels. These include aggressive skin bonding, chemical and form instability, lack of uniformity, low water content, odor and active receptivity issues.
