The adjuvants used in spray may be propellants like isopropanol and liquefied hydrocarbon. The process for preparing the product comprises the steps of partial polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of iron salt and potassium persulphate to obtain a solution of feracrylum which is subjected to purification by removal of impurities by treating the solution with an ion exchange resin; and vacuum dried at a controlled temperature followed by micronization whereby peach coloured particles of feracrylum are obtained. Wounds may be treated to arrest infection and blood loss arising out of accidents, surgery and other reasons by applying to the wound the product of the invention in the form of spray, solution, powder, lotion, ointment, gel and the like.
