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 softens and becomes easily mouldable at just 62°C.  It can be heated with just hot water or a hairdryer and can then be moulded by hand to create prototypes and solve manufacturing problems currently outside the capacity of other materials.  Polymorph can be reused simply by reheating, the material can also be coloured when soft by adding a small amount of food dye.

  • The material is supplied in a self-seal bag
  • Weight: 500g

Industrial uses for Polymorph include:

  • Moulding of handles and orthopaedic aids
  • Vacuum forming moulds
  • Moulds for batch producing other mouldings
  • Prototype mechanical parts
  • Armatures/frames for models
  • Inserts for compliant products
  • Specialised components - e.g. motor mountings
  • Moulding of complete products - e.g. torches
  • Joining components together
  • A smart Polymer which has a multitude of modern day uses in industry and beyond.
  • Cross applications in Science, Design Technology and Art classes.
  • Key Stage 3 Chemistry - Materials: Properties of ceramics, polymers and composites (qualitative)
  • Key Stage 4 Chemistry - Structure, Bonding and the Properties of Matter: Smart Materials and Their Properties.  Bulk properties of materials related to bonding and intermolecular forces
  • Polymorph is fully reuseable. Simply re-melt the polymer using hot walter and it becomes malleable again.
