Polymorph Information:
• The revolutionary plastic that melts in hot water
• Heat up and mould by hand
• Hardens as it cools - strong as nylon
• 101 uses for DIY and model making


Polymorph is one of a new generation of commercial polymers set to have a major impact on model making & 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 hairdryer 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

There must be so many things I can use this for, I just can't think of any.
