Abstract

Abstract A novel calcium fluoroaluminosilicate glass consisting essentially of from 25 to 35% by weight of silicon calculated as silica, from 30 to 40% by weight of aluminum calculated as alumina, from 20 to 35% by weight calcium, calculated as calcium oxide, and up to 9% by weight fluorine (preferably 4-7%) can be associated with a poly(carboxylic acid e.g. as an intimate mixture of glass and acid to constitute a composition curable on contact with water and useful, for example, as a loading on a splinting bandage. Such a bandage preferably has a ratio of set time to gel time from 4:1 to 8:1 with a minimum gel time.
