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 mcm manufacturer: Other Similar products are found below : NWTBATCAPMB13 27-505 27-4200 27-840 28-5958 50-10820 28-1510 27-5918 27-5977 24-12352 287-14020 28-6023 35SPS-3 28- 6008 21-4605 21-4575 21-19084 21-12825 27-570 28-1525 83-17604 27-5833 27-6020 24-12345 28-6017 28-6032 21-18966 30-1530 28-970 27-560 26-120 CA68B 24-12344 28-6005 24-13075 PCM-2100-50 21-18956 28-6080 24-5360 24-1040 27-5917 28-6031 HD15MM35N-100F 28-975 27-4270 85-11102 27-5940 27-5949 27-6112 HD15MM35N-6F
