The present invention relates to a template for a positioning, fixation, mobilization or immobilization device, wherein the template comprises a sheet of a thermoplastic material, wherein the thermoplastic material comprises between 3.0 and 95.0 wt. % of a poly-?-caprolactone polymer, preferably a poly-?-caprolactone homopolymer, and at least 5.0 wt. % of at least one second polymer material with a melting temperature of between 40 and 85? C., wherein the at least one second polymer material is selected from the group of one or more of a polyalkenamer or a thermoplastic linear polyurethane which contains as a polyol a poly ?-caprolactone or a polyester polyol, wherein the poly-?-caprolactone polymer and the second thermoplastic material are cross-linked.

A class of alkanol amine ligands reacted with bismuth carboxylates lends unique curability properties to isocyanate and polyols for production of polyurethane for CASE applications, including growing demand for polyurethane spray-foam. The amino-alcohol ligand, when associated with bismuth neodecanoate, offers improved moisture and solvent resistance during B-side (polyol) storage, cure rates analogous to tin-based curatives, and overall good final physical properties of the cured polyurethane.

A process for forming an elastic coating on a silicone support, includes: (a) treating at least one zone of the surface of a silicone part to increase the surface energy of the treated zone to a value greater than 30 mJ/m.sup.2, (b) depositing onto at least part of the treated zone a coating composition including: (i) a latex of a film-forming organic polymer bearing functions containing active hydrogen, (ii) an aqueous dispersion of a very high molecular weight polyorganosiloxane, and (iii) a crosslinking agent chosen from polyisocyanates, (c) heating or irradiating the layer of coating composition to react the crosslinking agent (iii) with the functions containing active hydrogen of the film-forming organic polymer (i) to form an elastic coating,
components (i), (ii) and (iii) and the respective proportions thereof being chosen such that the support equipped with the coating can be elongated without the appearance of cracks in the coating.
