High-Performance Solvent for Neoprene Adhesives

Aortha Actithin is a professional-grade solvent specifically engineered for thinning and cleaning neoprene-based adhesives commonly used across orthotic and prosthetic workshops.

Designed for consistency and performance, it restores thickened adhesives to their ideal working viscosity and doubles as a powerful cleaner for tools, surfaces, and bonding areas.

Whether you’re fabricating custom orthoses, repairing footwear, or maintaining precision equipment, Aortha Actithin ensures every adhesive task is carried out with reliability, cleanliness, and control.

Key Features

1. High Solvent Strength

Aortha Actithin contains a carefully balanced blend of high-grade solvents designed to thin neoprene adhesives efficiently. Over time, adhesives can thicken or gel, affecting their spread and bond strength.

By restoring viscosity to its original level, Aortha Actithin allows for even brush or spray application, ensuring consistent adhesive coverage and dependable bonding performance across materials such as EVA, leather, and rubber.

2. Exceptional Cleaning Power

In addition to thinning, Aortha Actithin is a highly effective cleaner. It dissolves adhesive residues quickly and leaves surfaces spotless — ideal for maintaining clean tools, brushes, spatulas, and workbenches.

Its powerful solvent action helps prevent adhesive build-up that can compromise finish quality or precision, making it an essential product for maintaining professional standards in the workshop.

3. Multi-Use Versatility

Engineered for versatility, Aortha Actithin is suitable for use across a variety of orthotic, prosthetic, and footwear manufacturing applications. Whether you’re fine-tuning adhesive consistency before production, preparing surfaces for bonding, or cleaning up after a day’s work, it performs reliably every time.

Its compatibility with a wide range of neoprene adhesives makes it a workshop staple for technicians and clinicians alike.

Available in 2 convenient sizes to suit both small-scale applications and high-volume workshop use.

Applications

Aortha Actithin supports multiple processes in orthotic and prosthetic manufacturing, ensuring professional results at every stage:

1. Thinning Neoprene Adhesives

When neoprene adhesives become too thick or difficult to spread, Aortha Actithin restores them to a smooth, workable consistency.

This enables even coating and optimal contact bonding with materials including EVA, rubber, and leather - ensuring strong, reliable adhesion without compromising flexibility or durability.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance

Post-application, Aortha Actithin is the perfect cleaner for tools, work surfaces, and bonded materials. It removes uncured adhesive, excess build-up, and residue quickly, helping maintain a professional, contamination-free workspace.

Regular cleaning also prolongs the lifespan of brushes, spray guns, and other equipment.

3. Surface Preparation

Before applying neoprene adhesives, use Aortha Actithin to remove dust, grease, and other contaminants from surfaces. Clean surfaces promote stronger, more durable bonds- especially important when working with porous materials or in high-stress applications such as orthotic lamination or footwear bonding.

Instructions for Use

1. Thinning Adhesive: Add Aortha Actithin gradually to the neoprene adhesive while stirring until the desired viscosity is reached. Avoid adding excessive amounts. Ensure thorough mixing for a consistent blend before application.
2. Cleaning Tools and Surfaces: Apply Aortha Actithin to a clean cloth or brush and wipe tools, surfaces, or adhesive spills. For stubborn residues, allow the solvent to dwell for a few minutes before wiping clean.
3. Surface Preparation: Moisten a cloth with Aortha Actithin and wipe bonding surfaces to remove oils, dust, or contaminants. Allow the solvent to evaporate completely before applying adhesive.

Safety and Handling

• Ventilation: Always use Aortha Actithin in a well-ventilated area or under extraction to minimise inhalation of solvent vapours.
• Protective Gear: Wear suitable gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye irritation.
• Storage: Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat, flames, and direct sunlight.
• Disposal: Dispose of solvent waste and contaminated materials according to local environmental and safety regulations.
