What is ThermoArt Transparent?

ThermoArt Transparent is an innovative polyester-based thermoplastic designed to facilitate the creation of parts with a crystalline finish by thermoforming and thermal modeling. This unique material becomes flexible at temperatures above 70°C, allowing it to be easily molded into detailed and precise shapes. Thanks to its exceptional transparency, high degree of stretch, and ease of precise adaptation to shapes, it is ideal for cosplayers, artisans, and modelers looking for striking and realistic visual effects in their creations.

It can be easily adhered to itself or other products in the ThermoArt family without the need for adhesives, facilitating the creation of complex and resistant structures. Although it shares the characteristic flexibility of the rest of the ThermoArt, range, this transparent version is not designed to be recycled by mixing leftovers together in the form of putty, as is the case with other products in the family.

Understanding ThermoArt Transparent

ThermoArt Transparent belongs to the family of thermoplastics, polymers that become flexible when heated and solidify when cooled. Its main characteristic is its transparent and crystalline finish, which allows the creation of pieces with unique visual effects, such as visors for helmets, RC car bodies, simulations of fire and magic, crystals, lenses, transparent or solid armor, luminous accessories, and other decorative elements.

This material is perfect for use with vacuum-forming machines, offering exceptional results in the creation of detailed and precise molds. In addition, objects painted or vinyl-coated on the inside have a spectacular high-gloss effect on the outside. Once cooled, the material becomes strong enough to withstand impact and wear and tear, ensuring its durability.

Key features and benefits:

• Crystal clear finish: Its clarity allows the creation of pieces with a unique visual effect, eliminating the need for additional paints for translucent or crystallized effects.
• Malleability: When heated to 70ºC using a heat gun or hot water, it becomes flexible and easy to mold into complex and detailed shapes, retaining the final shape after cooling.
• Self-adhesive: It adheres easily to itself or to other ThermoArt products when hot, facilitating the construction of robust structures without the need for external adhesives.
• Durability: Once cooled, it becomes rigid and durable and can be sanded, painted, or wrapped for a professional finish.
• Lightweight: Despite its strength, ThermoArt Transparent is a lightweight material that allows you to create pieces that are comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Applications in Cosplay and Modeling

The versatility of Clear ThermoArt makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including:

• Translucent armor: Create armor pieces with transparent or luminous effects that stand out visually.
• Masks and visors: Ideal for custom masks, translucent lenses, or visors that allow visibility and striking visual effects.
• Crystalline accessories: From gems and crystals to elaborate decorative elements, it allows you to create accessories that bring realism and sophistication to costumes.
• Integrated lighting: Excellent for integrating LED lighting effects into accessories and details, creating unique and eye-catching visual effects.

It is the ideal material to take your creative projects to another level, providing impressive results and professional finishes in your cosplay and modeling creations.
