The orthotic and prosthetic device markets are expand-ing rapidly and changing constantly. O&P practitioners, orthotists, prosthetists, and technicians are in need of a dedicated and diverse supplier who can provide them with quality and speed. Manufacturers of prefabricated orthotic and prosthetic devices require a forward thinking supplier who can combine extensive product knowledge with inno-vative supply chain solutions.For more than 30 years the AIN Plastics Division of Thyssen-Krupp Materials NA has offered customers quality products, competitive pricing, and an unsurpassed level of service by supplying industrial and orthotic grade plastic shapes from the world’s leading manufacturers.The AIN Plastics O&P Program combines decades of proven expertise in engineering plastic product solutions with ThyssenKrupp Material’s long standing reputation as a leading supplier of nonferrous metals, specialty alloys, and stainless steel products. The AIN Plastics O&P Program of-fers an integrated source in your supply base that provides you with the inventory management expertise and value-added processing services necessary to compete in today’s environment.
ConsistenCy: Not all plastic sheet extruders utilize the same manufacturing parameters which can lead to varying mechanical properties and residual stress. This is why like-named materials may form differently from one supplier to the next.The AIN PlAsTIcs O&P PrOgrAm maintains strategic partnerships with industry leading extruders in order to consistently supply the same level of quality that O&P technicians have come to expect with every sheet they fabricate.Our sTrATegIc exTrusION PArTNers provide constant lot-to-lot quality by using only resins produced to the highest standards for cleanliness and stability which makes their sheet ideal for thermoformed medical devices.AIN PlAsTIcs’ O&P PrOgrAm POlyPrOPyleNe ANd POlyeThyleNe PrOducTs meet FDA criteria reducing sensiti-zation and cytotoxicity concerns.Commitment: The quality of our customer service is as important to the success of the AIN Plastics O&P Program as the consistent quality of our products.• All AIN Plastics Branch Locations have fully trained O&P Program experts ready to handle your requirements with speed and accuracy.• Every full sheet and cut-to-size piece of O&P Pro-gram material is carefully processed and labeled to ensure proper identification and traceability with each order.• Every label contains a full material description and directional arrow indicating the forming di-rection which is reliant on the extrusion direction.

The AIN Advantage
Camie 300 & Camie 100Spray Adhesive and Silicone Lubricant & Release Agent
Quadrant EPP Proteus®
How We Achieve Consistency
Camie 100 Heavy Duty 6% siliCone lubriCant & release agent
A high solids blend of medium and high viscosity silicone fluids. It applies as a colorless wet film that stays where it’s sprayed. It is particularly good for difficult items such as rubber molds or high friction applications.
Camie 300 general PurPose sPray aDHesive This adhesive has been specially formulated to bond a broad range of materials from paper, to fiberglass, wood, metal, and much more. Camie 300 Adhesive is odorless, goes on smooth, and is colorless. It becomes tacky quickly and can be used to create a temporary or permanent bond.
Quadrant EPP Proteus® O&P Grade Polypropylene is the clear choice for O&P labs. This proprietary grade of 100% virgin homopolymer poly-propylene is specially formulated to turn clear when heated which visually aids lab technicians dur-ing the thermoforming process. This sheet is also stress-relieved in order to be as stable as pos-sible during thermoforming to ensure maximum results with every pull.Proteus® Copolymer Polypropylene sheet is also produced using 100% virgin resin and stress-relieved to offer unmatched dimensional stability.All Quadrant EPP Proteus® Polypropylene sheets included in the AIN Plastics O&P Program are FDA Compliant.
