A 20 index arterial fluid, X-20 provides a soft, but well-preserved and life-like feel and appearance to the body and skin. Containing six ingredients including silicone oils which modify the harsh effects of formaldehyde, the embalmer can be sure of an excellent cosmetic effect and a particularly pleasant result - a thoroughly embalmed body of mild firmness and uniform color with a natural, moist feel to the skin.

Mildly buffered to help keep the formaldehyde base at optimum preservation levels, X-20 penetrates and distributes well. The preservatives and modifiers are carried into the tissue to give it a plasticized feel with the proper formaldehyde content for good preservation.

USAGE
For normal cases use X-20 at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon at a rate of 1 gallon per 50 pounds of body weight. For emaciated cases a lower concentration should be considered. For larger cases where decomposition has started, 8 to 16 ounces per gallon should be considered according to the embalmber's professional judgment. The alternate injection and drainage or intermittent drainage technique should be used in all cases to insure thorough distribution of the fluid.
