Silicone Orthosis Repair Technician

SILICONE POLYMER 300 ML

The Silicone Polymer is a fluid polycondensation silicone indicated for the manufacture, bonding and repair of orthoses and orthoplasties in podiatry and orthopaedics.

It is a room-temperature vulcanising silicone elastomer which, through the addition of a catalyst, changes from a fluid state into an elastic and resistant material.

Its fluid consistency allows it to be poured directly onto the area or into the mould to be made. Once vulcanised, it produces a semi-transparent and semi-plastic orthosis. It can also be combined with other putty-type silicones to increase its elasticity.

INDICATIONS:

• Manufacture of orthoses and orthoplasties in podiatry and orthopaedics.
• Mixing with other silicone materials.
• Bonding of orthoses.
• Repair of orthoses.
• Mixing with putty-type silicones to increase elasticity.

FEATURES:

• Fluid polycondensation silicone.
• Vulcanises at room temperature through the addition of a catalyst.
• Once vulcanised, it forms an elastic and resistant material.
• Fluid paste appearance.
• Translucent colour.
• Hardness: 20 Shore A.
• Can be mixed with other materials.
• Can be mixed with putty-type silicones to increase its elasticity.
• Suitable for the manufacture, bonding and repair of orthoses.

TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:

• Appearance: fluid paste.
• Colour: translucent.
• Density at 25 °C: 1.21.
• Hardness: 20 Shore A.
• Elongation at break: 250%.
• Breaking strength: 30 kg/cm.
• Tear strength: 15 kg/cm.

The maximum properties indicated are measured after 7 days.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Mix the silicone polymer with the catalyst.
2. Pour the mixture onto the area or into the mould to be made.
3. Allow it to vulcanise until a semi-transparent and semi-plastic orthosis is obtained.

It can also be mixed with other putty-type silicones when greater elasticity is required.

For repairing orthoses using Master-Cat as a paste catalyst, add the required amount until the polymer changes from transparent to red. Once it reaches this colour, the silicone polymer will harden quickly and easily.

PRECAUTIONS:

• Carefully control the amount of catalyst used.
• Control the mixing time.
