Description

Industrial tools subject hands to dangerous levels of impact and vibration. The results can be disabling. Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and Tardy Ulnar Nerve Palsy are just a few of the possible afflictions that can result. While these can rob employees of their health, they also rob companies of their productivity. ORTHEX® GRIP KIT is an effective and economical answer.

Kit includes: Viscolas® Visco-Elastic Polymer sheet 12″ x 5″; 18″ x 1.75″ thick heat shrink tube covering material for longer wear and roll of wrap tape for closed-ended handle tools.

  • Easy to apply method to reduce some of the vibration and shock from power and pneumatic tools
  • Ideal for tools such as grinders, pneumatic chisels, jackhammers, drills, sanders, nut runners, riveters, power hammers and other vibrating power tools
  • Soft materials help the tool conform to the hand yielding a soft, comfortable gripping surface

Materials

VEP PADDING

VEPs are solids that mimic the behaviour of liquids, which allows the dissipation of shock waves better than any other material. The “solid-liquid” nature of VEP absorbs shock waves in all directions at once, reforming to its original shape at a rate that is slow enough so as not to exert outward pressure that could cause reverberations, but fast enough to regain its original shape before the next shock.

  • In laboratory tests, VEP has proven its ability to absorb up to 500% more shock than the foam of the same thickness
  • The unique manner in which VEP dissipates impact energy makes it an ideal material for the improvement of health and safety in industry and commerce
  • VEP padding is positioned in or in combinations of multiple places on the hand: palm, back of the hand, fingers, thumb web area
  • VEP is also used for body protectors and cushions to dampen impact and vibration
