10 small amounts generally not exceeding 15 weight percent more usually not exceeding 10 weight percent and preferably from about three to eight weight percent of inert insulative fillers may be included in the polymer composition such fillers include titanium dioxide talc magnesium or calcium carbonate clay or other suitable inorganic or organic materials in the present invention the polymer should thermally soften at or above 125 u00b0 f and below about 180 u00b0 f and preferably between 145 u00b0 165 u00b0 f referring now to fig5 the method of making bandage roll 2 is briefly described a supply 16 of bandage or carrier material 4 passes through a first tank 20 beneath a first tank roller 18 for submersion in a coating solution 22 a variety of solutions may be employed which have varied concentrations of polymer and fillers a convenient volatile solvent for the polymer is used for example a halo carbon such as methylene chloride a formulation which has been found satisfactory is a mixture of 95 weight percent pcl 700 a poly u03b5 caprolactone having a weight average molecular weight of about 40 000 available from the union carbide corporation and five weight percent of titanium dioxide the composition is mixed with methylene dichloride to provide a mix having from about five percent to 50 percent solids preferably from 10 percent to 20 percent the solids content generally being dictated by the required viscosity to render the solution workable it will be understood that coating techniques may be employed such as hot melt coatings where a 100 percent solids content is used the initially.
