Dear Customer,

Mavidon strives to use American made products when they are possible. However, many ingredients in production of Collodion and other products are not avaible in the states. The recent developments concerning the Reciprocal Tariff introduced by the U.S. government earlier this week entails additional import duties that will have a direct impact on the cost of importing nitrocellulose, ethyl-ether, alluminum cans and other raw materials. As a result of this measure, the overall cost of importing these raw materials will rise, and this will be reflected in our pricing moving forward.

We fully appreciate the challenges that such changes may pose and wish to assure you that we remain committed to transparency and open communication throughout this transition. Our primary objective is to ensure that you are well-informed and supported during this time. Should you require further information or wish to discuss any concerns in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact our team.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We greatly value your business.
Sincerely, Tim Carroll, President

COLLODION USP

Collodion USP Rigid

Medical Application: Used to attach electrodes to the skin or scalp. Primarily, but not limited, for EEG monitoring (Epilepsy, Sleep Disorders, Ambulatory...). Especially useful when it is important to maintain a secure contact for monitoring. When applied correctly, collodion will hold even when the skin is hairy, perspiring, or oily. Clean surface to be bonded with LemonPrep®, PediapPrep™ or Pure Prep™ to remove the body oils and dead skin. Apply a thin layer of Collodion to the electrode or gauze. To facilitate cure, force clean cool air over the electrode with an air pump to aid solvent evaporation.

Astronomy Application: Collodion is used in the cleaning of optics such as telescope mirrors. The collodion is applied to the surface of the optic, usually in two or more layers. Sometimes a piece of thin cloth is applied between the layers, to hold the collodion together for easy removal. After the collodion dries and forms a solid sheet covering the optic, it is carefully peeled away taking contamination with it.

Special Effects:The easiest way to make scars and some burn effects is with Collodion.
