Rolyan Watercolors Perforated Thermoplastic Splinting Material

Key Material Benefits

Watercolors is the only Rolyan material offered in a full range of colors. Like all materials in the Aquaplast™ family, it has 100 percent memory and turns translucent when heated. These unique characteristics help the clinician form the perfect-fitting splint with the ability to be revised.

Handling

Resistance to stretch: Moderate

Controlled stretch and the ability to be handled with moderate pressure. It will not stretch out of shape when removed from splint bath.

Conformability: Moderate/Maximum

Conforms to surface contours and detail when applying minimum force. Moderate degree of drape.

Memory: 100 percent

When reheated, the material “remembers” its original shape and returns to it. Allows for repeated reheating and reshaping for splint revisions.

Bonding: Coated

Create a temporary bond by pinching together heated material; however, it will come apart when cooled. Form a permanent bond by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.
