Heidelberger Plastination Folder (HA00)
Plastination manual in German (HA00-1) or English (HA00-2). Author: Gunther von Hagens (inventor of plastination). 1985 edition, 160 pages. A fully revised and extended version is currently being prepared.

Adhesive Foil (HA20)
For the protection of slices impregnated with E 12, P 35 or P 40 against scratching during the sawing process. Thickness: 50 μm, width: 40 cm (16 in), transparent.

Stretch Foil (HA21)
Multi-purpose tool for the plastination laboratory, especially for the airtight sealing of the small Gas Curing Unit (HH10). Width: 50 cm (20 in), transparent.

Polyester Foil, Sheets (HA25)
For hardening according to the draining method and the sandwich method of E 12 impregnated transparent body slices. Thickness: 100 μm, cut to 40 cm x 50 cm (16 in x 20 in), transparent. The sheets are slightly larger than the glass plates, so any superfluous resin can easily drain.

Bucket, rectangular (HA36)
19 L (5 gal)—with lid and foldable carrying handle. Material: Polyethylene, solvent resistant. Color: white. Suitable as immersion and impregnation vessel for the P 35 and P 40 methods.

Shoulder-Length Gloves (HA41)
Strong and elastic material (latex), for high mechanical stress. The gloves protect reliably up to above the forearm against liquids and many acids and bases. Suitable only for short-term contact (a few minutes) with solvents. Length: 600 mm (23 in), thickness: approximately 1.10 mm (0.04 in), color: beige.

Solvent Resistant Gloves (HA42)
Resistant against, e.g., acetone (>480 h) and methylene chloride (approximately 400 h); gasproof; good flexibility, even when cold. Size: 10. Length: 350 mm (14 in), thickness: approximately 0.70 mm (0.03 in), color: black.
