AliMed® AliPlast™ 2E (QuickStick™ Padding) is a soft-grade, adhesive-backed thermoplastic foam with a 15 durometer (Shore A) firmness level and is 50% thicker than AliPlast 4E. Extra soft and flexible, ideal for splint and strap padding as well as tool and utensil buildups or cushioning hard edges on beds and wheelchairs. Lightweight cross-linked, closed-cell polyethylene foam is heat-moldable with an impervious surface that won't absorb perspiration, bacteria, or odors. Smooth skin is tough, durable, and easy to clean. For an extra strong bond, heat the adhesive before applying. Sold by the roll.

About AliMed® AliPlast™: When heated, AliPlast softens in minutes and can mold and form around any shape. When cool, it regains its original cushioning and rigidity. Softer varieties can be molded directly to the body while firmer styles are better molded first to a plaster cast to avoid danger of burns. When surfaces of two heated pieces are brought together, a permanent bond will result. AliPlast can be vacuum-formed and is auto-adhesive. Polyolefin base creates a uniquely durable bond with polyethylene or polypropylene and can be used to adhere these difficult-to-bond materials together, saving considerable time and effort when forming orthotics. AliPlast shrinks along the grain when heated, and its thickness increases. To compensate for shrinkage, stretch the material during molding. Chemically inert, hypoallergenic, and safe for virtually any orthotic or prosthetic application.
