Key Material Benefits
The Aquaplast family is the only Rolyan splinting family that has 100 percent memory. The unique characteristics of the Rolyan Watercolors Perforated Thermoplastic Splinting Material give clinicians excellent control when forming the perfect-fitting splint with the ability to be revised. Offered in a full range of colors, patients and clinicians can choose from vibrant colors that match patient’s lifestyle and increase their confidence.
Excellent Clinician Control
When forming thumb spica splints, wrist splints, clamshell splints, back supports, and more, the Aquaplast splinting material features a moderate resistance to stretch for controlled molding when handled. Once removed from the splint bath, it will not stretch out of shape allowing clinicians to contour and detail the material with minimum force. When reheated, the material “remembers” its original shape and returns to it for repeated splint revisions. A temporary bond can be created by pinching together heated material while a permanent bond is created by scrubbing off the coating or removing it with a bond solvent.
Material Attributes
Offered in vibrant colors like electric blue, hot pink, and spring green, the versatile Aquaplast-T thermoplastic sheets are available in 1/8" (3.2 mm), 1/16" (1.6 mm), and 3/32" (2.4 mm) thicknesses for a variety of supportive needs. The material is offered in 13 percent and 19 percent perforation options and highlights a moderate to maximum rigidity of 59.2 kpsi, according to the Young Modulus testing value. That means it retains its shape without reinforcement.

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.
Controlled stretch and the ability to be handled with moderate pressure. It will not stretch out of shape when removed from splint bath.
Conforms to surface contours and detail when applying minimum force. Moderate degree of drape.
When reheated, the material “remembers” its original shape and returns to it. Allows for repeated reheating and reshaping for splint revisions.
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.
