WHAT IS POLYMORPH?   

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 just hot water or a hairdryer and moulded by hand to create prototypes and solve manufacturing problems currently outside the capacity of other materials. Polymorph is new and is one of the latest materials classified as a ‘Smart Material’ although it does not have a memory it can be reheated time and time again to enable other components to modelled or designed

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 (hot welding)

Polymorph properties:

Non toxic and Non-hazardous
Biodegradable: disappears in soil after 6 months
Immensely strong and tough
Mouldable between 62˚ and 30˚
Machinable
