Ortho Colors thermoplastic Semi-sticky
A thermoplastic in nice colours. Sticks slightly at processing temperature, which prevents unwanted welds from forming and makes it possible to make temporary connections. Maximum memory and modelability, little stiffness. Similar to other non-adhesive thermoplastics.
We offer a range of low temperature thermoplastics and associated accessories. The thermoplastics have easy and reliable handling and formability. The heating takes place in a warm water bath at 60 to 65°C for 60 to 90 seconds. When the material is removed from the bath, the surface temperature drops quite quickly to 40°C, allowing the correct shape to be measured directly on the skin. After a few minutes the material starts to harden. When heated dry, a very good connection is possible. The material is RX permeable.
Perforations:
- None: smooth plate with maximum support, perfect for cleaning
- Micro: ±13%, many small holes, for more strength: choose a thicker plate
- Mini: scattered holes 3.5% perforation, the sheet remains approximately the same strength
- Opti: ±20%, multiple holes, optimal ventilation
Thicknesses:
- 1.6 mm: small splints such as for fingers, the hand and for children
- 2.0 mm: small splints that require a little more strength
- 2.5 mm: often used for static and dynamic splints for the hand and wrist
- 3.2 mm: suitable for larger splints
