Zinpro® ADAPTARAP™ is a new footwrap that brings an innovative approach to bandaging treated hooves. The new multipolymer footwrap bandage by Zinpro® supports the resolution of hoof lesions and, as part of an overall management program, helps contribute to a reduction in lameness in the herd and the maintenance of healthy hooves.

Tips for Cold Weather Application

A small amount of water is required for Zinpro ADAPTARAP to adhere to itself. During cold temperatures, this can pose some challenges with water freezing and the wrap film becoming too cold to adhere properly. Below are some tips to improve the effectiveness:

1.  Keep Zinpro ADAPTARAP in a pocket close to your body to maintain a higher temperature or inside a warm box (similar to how polyurethane glues are handled).
2.  Use hot water, kept in an insulated container, to wet the tail end of the wrap.
3.  Alternatively, apply an adhesive spray in place of water to glue the tail end of Zinpro ADAPTARAP to itself.
4.  Use of a heat gun to warm the tail end of the wrap may also improve its ability to adhere.
5.  The tail end of Zinpro ADAPTARAP can also be “tied off” to itself as with regular wraps.
