Product Features


  • The revolutionary plastic that melts in hot water and can be moulded by hand
  • Hardens as it cools - strong as nylon
  • 101 uses for DIY and model making such as prototype mechanical parts or armatures and frames for models
  • Becomes easily mouldable at just 62°C.

Polymorph is one of a new generation of commercial polymers set to have a major impact on model making and prototyping. This polymer has all the characteristics of a tough ‘engineering’ material yet it fuses and becomes easily mouldable at just 62°C. It can be heated with hot water or a hair dryer and moulded by hand to create prototypes and solve manufacturing problems currently outside the capacity of other materials. Uses for Polymorph include: Prototype mechanical parts Armatures/frames for models Specialised components - e.g. motor mountings Moulding for complete products - e.g. torches Joining components together Mouldings for handles & orthopaedic aids Vacuum forming moulds
