A plastic that can be softened by heat and moulded into shapes.
Properties:
Properties:
Sold in pellet form by weight
Re-usable
Can be manipulated with heat
Can be shaped by tool or hands or pressed through a mould
Heat the pellets in water to over 62°C ,Leave the pellets to melt in water until they turn transparent, Carefully remove the pellets from the water and mould by hand (add colour at this stage if required) Allow the Polymorph to cool until hardenen. Sets in 10 minutes.
Re-heat if further moulding is required (use a hair dryer or heat gun to re-heat and soften, then re-shape) Sets much harder than silicone.
Applications:
Applications:
Some uses include orthopaedic splints, ergonomic handles, moulds for vacuum forming, trainer/shoe components and sports protective clothing. Model making, fix for broken items.
Poly morph can be painted , drilled, varnished.
Sustainability:
Sustainability:
