Orthotics and Prosthetics, Spring 1984, 38(1), 71-72.\u003c\/p\u003e  is a high-strength expanded orthotic material of outstanding uniformity and superior working characteristics. Higher strength comes from the judicious alloying of ethylene vinyl acetate and polyethylene. \u003cp\u003eNickelPlast is tough and tear resistant. It resists bottoming out and offers a resilient and rubbery quality not found in the simpler, cross-linked, polyethylene materials like AliPlast and Plastazote.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose from three grades: NickelPlast-Lite, NickelPlast-S, and NickelPlast X-Firm. Noted for their superb shock-absorbing qualities, all are engineered to withstand pounding and abuse. X-Firm is so tough, you can use it in footwear as an insole.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNickelPlast is easy to work with. Heated from 300° to 350°F for a few minutes, it becomes soft and easily yields to complex molding and shaping. NickelPlast shrinks about 15% when thoroughly heated. Upon cooling, it hardens approximately five Shore A points. Having three different grades of NickelPlast is like having six different materials in your tool box.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse NickelPlast where long wear, resilience and easy fabrication are necessary. PTB liners, insoles, and foot orthotic postings are just a few possible applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"prop65\" style=\"margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:25px;\"\u003e California's Proposition 65\u003c\/div\u003e ","brand":"NickelPlast","offers":[{"title":"NickelPlast-S, 39\"W x 43\"L x 1\/4\" thick sheet, Balsa #4793","offer_id":32970414391339,"sku":"4793","price":118.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2559\/5644\/products\/4791_1000x1000-pad_9b07daca-d60c-424e-8e67-9440465299ad.jpg?v=1604214167","url":"https:\/\/www.devineexpress.com\/products\/nickelplast-s-nickelplast-s-39w-x-43l-x-14-thick-sheet-balsa-4793","provider":"Devine Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
