PolyMold Moldable Plastic Instructions The MCM PolyMold Moldable Plastic is made from a type of plastic called polycaprolactone (PCL). PCL is non- toxic, biodegradable, and has a low melting point of 136-140F (58-60C). When melted, it becomes a moldable putty-like material. It is perfect for making models, replacement parts, robotics, toys, sculptures, and much more. Its plastic properties are similar to Nylon. Heat-up PolyMold Hot Water Method (recommended) Heat water to approximately 150~170F in a ceramic or metal container suitable for hot water. Do not overheat. Place the desired amount of PolyMold beads into the hot water bath (any excess can always be reused). The beads will quickly become translucent and will bond together. Let soak for up to 2 minutes. Remove the soft clump of plastic with a metal or disposable utensil (tongs, wooden kabob stick, etc.). The PolyMold is now ready to use. Heat Gun (useful for reheating material already in use) On a heat-safe surface, hold a heat gun or hair dryer on the material. Once the material nears 140+F, it will begin to soften. Continue to heat until the material reaches the desired moldable consistency. Do no overheat. Mold PolyMold Be careful, the material will be hot. Simply mold the PolyMold plastic like clay. If a water method was used to heat the substance, the water will work itself out without thinning the material. PolyMold can also be pressed into molds, cut, tapped (after hardened), and much more. Use your imagination. Harden PolyMold The PolyMold will harden by itself as it cools and returns to room temperature. To speed the process, dip the molded PolyMold into a bath of cold water. Color PolyMold To add some color to your PolyMold, add 1-10 pellets of the colorant (sold separately) to the batch of beads before you melt the PolyMold using the Hot Water method. Use the colorant beads sparingly. TIP: Start with 1-2 beads, adding more later for richer colors. Feel free to mix colors to create new colors. When you remove the PolyMold with colorant from the hot bath, knead the PolyMold until the desired color effect is achieved. Reuse PolyMold To reuse extra PolyMold, add additional colorant, or even start over on a project, simply heat it back up PolyMold Part Numbers 1kg PolyMold 21-12835, 500g PolyMold 21-12830, 250g PolyMold 21-12825, Five Color Colorant Kit 21-12865 Black Colorant 21-12855, Blue Colorant 21-12860, Green Colorant 21-12840, Red Colorant 21-12845, Yellow Colorant 21-12850 Copyright 2013 by MCM Electronics www.mcmelectronics.com X-ON Electronics Largest Supplier of Electrical and Electronic Components Click to view similar products for Other Tools category: Click to view products by MCM manufacturer: Other Similar products are found below : CR-05FL7--150R CR-05FL7--698K 899-2-KT46 899-5-KT46 CR-0AFL4--332K CR-12FP4--260R CRCW04021100FRT7 CRCW04021961FRT7 5800-0090 CRCW04024021FRT7 CRCW040254R9FRT7 CRCW0603102JRT5 59065-5 00-8273-RDPP 00-8729- WHPP 593033 593058 593072 593564100 593575 593591 593593 011349-000 LTILA506SBLAMNBL CRCW08052740FRT1 LUC- 012S070DSM LUC-018S070DSP 599-2021-3-NME 599-JJ-2021-03 00-5080-YWPP 5E4750/01-20R0-T/R LW1A-L1-GL LW1A-P1-GD LW1L-A1C10V-GL LW1L-M1C70-A 0202-0173 00-9089-RDPP 00-9300-RDPP CRCW2010331JR02 01-1003W-8/32-10 601-GP-08- KT39 601-JJ-06 601-SPB 601YSY 602-JJ-03 602SPB 602Z 603-JJ-07-FP 603-JJY-04 604J
