When applied to the surface of the body it evaporates to leave a thin clear transparent skin, useful for the protection of minor wounds. Flexible collodion also contains camphor and castor oil, which allow the skin to stretch a little more.Collodions consist basically of a thick, colourless, syrupy liquid, made by dissolving guncotton (pyroxylin) in a mixture of ether and alcohol or with acetone. When painted on the skin the solvent evaporates, leaving behind a tough protective film that is useful for covering wounds. Flexible collodion \u2014 or collodion as it is often known \u2014 contains 1-6 per cent of pyroxylin, with colophony, castor oil and alcohol (90 per cent) in solvent ether. It should be kept in a well-sealed container. Being relatively elastic, it does not crack through the movements of the skin.A thick fluid coating, made of dissolved pyroxylin, that is used to dress wounds or to supply medications to the skin. When applied, it dries to form a transparent film.Collodion is a viscous blend of ether, alcohol, and pyroxylin utilized in skin formulations for minor cuts and abrasions. Its mechanism of action involves rapid evaporation, leaving behind a shielding film that covers the affected area.A pliable varnish made from cellulose plastic, commonly used for sealing minor cuts."}
