Multicast (Standard) is
a low temperature thermoplastic material,
based mainly on polycaprolactone and polyurethane.
Multicast Standard is externally covered
with a 0.6mm foam layer.
The thermoplastic product has a "crafty"
memory, creating a constant molecular
inhibition during processing and hardening.
After heating, the material finds its
own way through the force of the earth's
natural gravitational pull. the material
does not shrink.
Multicast characteristics keeps its as
long as the original surface area is not
stretched more than 15%.
Advantages of the foam coating
The characteristic advantage of the foam
coating is that the thermoplastic does
not stick to itself in hot water. thus,
sizable surfaces can be put in a small
hot water container.
The foam coating creates a minute layer
of air between the patient's skin and
the thermoplastic, reducing the posibility
of skin chafing.
The material dissolves entirely after
shredding.
The material can be heated in the following
ways:
- Water (from 70°C)
- Steam (from 90°C)
- Dry heat (max. 150°C)
- Heat gun
- Heating plate
The material can be processed after a
2-minute heating at 70°C or 1-minute
heating at 75°C or until a dark “glassy”
discoloration has appeared.
Typical Applications:
GOOD for Ankle brace
VERY GOOD for tibia, knee and low back
brace
IDEAL for body splints
RECOMENDED for finger, wrist, metacarpus
splints and nose
