Description
Essential release agent and surface conditioner for orthotic & prosthetic fabrication
Qaadir Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) is a high-purity, professional-grade petroleum jelly supplied in a 1 kg workshop-size tub, specifically suited for daily use in orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) fabrication environments. Widely used as a release agent, surface barrier, and lubricant, it plays a critical role in plaster casting, lamination, thermoforming, and socket fabrication processes.
Designed for consistent performance, Qaadir Petroleum Jelly ensures clean separations, protects tools and molds, and supports efficient, repeatable fabrication workflows.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Reliable Release Agent
Creates an effective barrier between plaster, resins, foams, and tooling surfaces—preventing unwanted adhesion and enabling clean mold release.
✔ High-Purity, Stable Formulation
Smooth, uniform consistency ensures even application without clumping, melting, or residue build-up under normal workshop temperatures.
✔ Large 1 kg Workshop Tub
Economical bulk size ideal for busy fabrication labs, reducing frequent reordering and ensuring continuous availability at workstations.
✔ Multi-Purpose Workshop Utility
Functions as a lubricant, surface conditioner, and protective coating for tools, molds, and hardware.
✔ Easy Application
Applies smoothly by hand, brush, or cloth and wipes off cleanly after use without damaging surfaces.

Why It Matters in the Workshop
In O&P fabrication, small process details directly affect:
✔ mold quality
✔ surface finish
✔ fabrication time
✔ tool lifespan
✔ consistency between devices
Using a dependable petroleum jelly minimizes rework, reduces material waste, and protects both tools and technicians—making it a low-cost, high-impact essential.
