Aortha Orthafix Spray Adhesive
Aortha Orthafix Spray Adhesive
A professional aerosol adhesive for fast, controlled bonding during orthotic fabrication, footwear manufacture, repair and general workshop assembly. Its cob-web spray pattern helps reduce adhesive soak-in on porous materials while creating a strong, flexible bond between commonly used orthotic components.
Orthafix is particularly useful for technicians attaching fabric top covers, laminating flexible sheet materials or assembling EVA, Poron, felt, rubber and compatible plastic components.
Key Features:
-
Controlled spray application: The cob-web spray pattern distributes adhesive across the working surface, helping technicians apply an even coat without relying on a brush or glue pot.
-
Reduced soak-in:Â Designed to limit excessive penetration into porous and absorbent materials, helping preserve adhesive at the bonding surface where it is needed. Â
-
Flexible finished bond:Â Suitable for soft and pliable materials that may flex during fitting, finishing or normal use within an orthotic or footwear construction.
-
Efficient workshop format:Â The aerosol format supports quick application across shaped components, sheet materials and larger surface areas during routine fabrication work.

What It Does and How It Works
Orthafix Spray Adhesive is used to join two compatible workshop materials before trimming, finishing or incorporating them into an orthotic or footwear assembly. It is commonly used where a conventional liquid adhesive and brush may be less convenient.
When sprayed, the adhesive forms a web-like coating across the material. This pattern helps keep more adhesive near the surface of porous foams and fabrics rather than allowing it to soak deeply into the material. Once applied in accordance with the product-label instructions, the prepared surfaces are brought together to form a flexible bond.
Common Workshop Problems It May Help With
Adhesive soaking into foam or fabric
The cob-web spray pattern helps reduce soak-in when working with absorbent materials such as foam, felt and fabric coverings.
Uneven manual application
Spray delivery can make it easier to cover shaped components and broad surfaces more consistently than applying adhesive with a brush.
Bonding flexible layers
The flexible bonding system is suited to materials that need to bend or conform as part of an orthotic or footwear construction.
Time-consuming workshop assembly
The ready-to-use aerosol format helps streamline routine bonding tasks without preparing a separate glue container or applicator.

Usage Instructions
- Read the container label and current Safety Data Sheet before beginning work.
- Confirm that the work area meets the stated ventilation, ignition-control and personal-protection requirements.
- Check that both materials are compatible with the adhesive. Test on a small offcut when working with an unfamiliar material or finish.
- Ensure the bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose particles.
- Prepare and operate the aerosol exactly as directed on the container.
- Apply a controlled, even coating to the required bonding area, following the stated spray distance and coverage guidance.
- Observe the application, drying and open-time instructions on the label before bringing the surfaces together.
- Align carefully, join the materials and apply even pressure across the bonded area.
- Allow the bond to develop fully before trimming, grinding, fitting or placing it under load.
- After use, follow the label instructions for clearing the nozzle, storing the aerosol and disposing of waste.
Benefits
-
Cleaner application: Helps reduce the need for open glue pots, separate brushes and manual spreading during suitable fabrication tasks.
-
Practical material coverage: The aerosol format can cover flat, curved and shaped components without requiring direct contact with an applicator.
-
Supports efficient production: Quick application can help technicians move efficiently through repeated laminating, covering and assembly processes.
-
Versatile workshop use: Suitable for several materials commonly used in orthotic, footwear and soft-component fabrication.
Contraindications and Warnings
This is a professional workshop chemical product. Read and follow the complete product label and current Safety Data Sheet before use. The label and Safety Data Sheet take priority over general guidance on this page.
- Use only in a suitable work area and follow all stated ventilation requirements.
- Observe all instructions concerning heat, sparks, flames and other ignition sources.
- Wear the personal protective equipment specified for the task and workplace.
- Avoid inhalation of spray or vapour and prevent contact with eyes and skin.
- Do not spray towards people or use on the body.
- Keep the container secure and follow all stated storage-temperature requirements.
- Do not puncture, burn or otherwise damage the aerosol container.
- Keep out of reach of children and unauthorised users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aortha Orthafix Spray Adhesive used for?
It is used for bonding materials during orthotic fabrication, footwear production, repair and general workshop assembly. Typical tasks include laminating EVA or Poron layers and attaching fabric, felt or other flexible top-cover materials.
How does the cob-web spray pattern help?
The adhesive leaves the nozzle in a web-like pattern rather than as a fine wet mist. This helps keep the adhesive closer to the surface and reduces excessive soak-in when it is applied to porous foam, fabric or felt.
Which materials can it bond?
It is suitable for materials commonly found in orthotic and footwear workshops, including EVA foam, Poron, fabric, felt, rubber and compatible plastics. Material formulations and surface finishes vary, so a small compatibility test should be completed before full application.
Can it be used to attach orthotic top covers?
Yes, attaching fabric and flexible top covers is one of its typical workshop applications. The surfaces should be prepared correctly, and the adhesive must be applied and allowed to develop in accordance with the instructions on the container.
Does the adhesive remain flexible?
Orthafix is designed to create a strong yet flexible bond. This makes it suitable for soft and pliable components that may need to conform or flex as part of a finished orthotic or footwear construction.
Is it intended for clinical use directly on a patient?
No. It is a workshop adhesive used to assemble compatible materials and should not be sprayed onto skin, wounds or a patient. Any bonded device should be fully finished and checked for suitability before it is issued or fitted.
Should both surfaces be sprayed?
Application requirements can vary according to the materials and the intended bond. Follow the directions on the aerosol container for surface coverage, drying time and whether adhesive is required on one or both surfaces.
How long should the adhesive dry before bonding?
The correct drying or tack time must be taken from the current product label because workshop temperature, airflow, coating weight and material absorbency can affect the process. Do not join the parts earlier or later than the stated application window.
Can it be used on every type of plastic or rubber?
No adhesive should be assumed to suit every formulation or surface treatment. Test Orthafix on an offcut and confirm that it provides the required bond without affecting the colour, finish, shape or performance of the material.
Where can I find the safety information?
Consult the instructions printed on the product and the current Safety Data Sheet before use. The Algeos Australia Safety Data Sheets page provides access to available chemical safety documents and should be checked as part of workplace risk management.
