Sure. AU plastic pants will protect against wet diapers. For a few washings, anyway.
It used to be that if a mother bought plastic pants (instead of rubber) she only expected them to last for a few washings. That is, until recently. Amoco's aromatic acid, called TMA (Trimellitic Anhydride), has given the plasticizers in baby pants new longer life. Plastic pants are made which now won't crack in the face of wet diapers, hot detergent water, or even the blast of automatic dryers. Now that TMA has the endorsement
of the babies (and mothers) of America, it's out to conquer other
household products—like hair dryer covers and heating pad jackets. If your products use plastic sheet or film, this is something you should look into. Amoco produces products for the plastics, paint, petroleum, rubber, textile and chemical industries.
