Nickelplast / Aliplast XPE
Nickelplast is a high strength, expanded orthotic material. It is easy to form or stretch, and provides excellent cushioning. It resists bottoming out and offers a resilient, rubbery quality not found in other cross-linked polyethylene materials. Use where long wear, resilience and ease of fabrication are required.

- Alipast® is an improved, smooth surface, closed-cell polyethylene foam material. It has exceptional energy absorption, and may be quickly molded to body contours when heated. It is easily molded and sanded. Aliplast is auto-adhesive and impermeable to liquids and gases.
- Alipast® XPE is very firm, and absolutely resists long-term compression and bottoming out even in functional shoe orthotics.
Heat moldable at temperatures between 250°F – 300°F. (MM thickness x 12 = heating time in seconds.)
