Advantages of the foam coating
• Turbocast® does not stick to itself in
the hot water. Thus, sizable surfaces
can be put in a small hot-water
container.
• Sticks only if pressed firmly together.
No accidental bonding.
• The foam coating creates a minute
layer between the patient’s skin and the
thermoplastic, reducing the possibility
of skin chafing and maceration.

Processing Methods
The material may be heated in the following ways:
Water (from 65°C - 150°F)
Dry heat (max. 150°C)
Heat gun
Heating plate.
Processing Methods
The material can be processed after 2-minutes heating at 65°C
or 1-minute heating at 75°C or until a dark “glazy”
discoloration has appeared.
Instruction of use
After heating in water at
65°C lift the material out and
place it immediately on a dry
towel. Fold half of the towel
over the whole plate to dab
excess moisture.
Instruction of use

placed directly on
the bare skin. In the
meantime, the
