ThermoArt Thermoplastic Sample Pack

ThermoArt thermoplastic is an extruded material created by Green Stuff World used mainly in the manufacture of costumes, accessories, and props for cosplay, as well as for the modeling and sculpting of various pieces for modeling, theater, and other creative elements.

It is a thermoformable polymer that, when heated with a hot air gun, hot water, or steam, becomes malleable and can be molded into any shape. As it cools, the material regains its rigidity, offering a strong and durable structure. Its surface allows it to be easily sanded, painted, and decorated, adapting to different creative needs.

This ThermoArt Thermoplastic Sample Pack is a selection of four types of thermoplastic in 200x300mm size, and includes:

1. Black Art is a black thermoplastic for creating armor, accessories, and props with a smooth, professional black finish.
2. Pearly White is simply white in color with a surface ideal for acrylic paints and detailing. It is easiest to paint in light colors.
3. Armor Grey is a light gray armor material that is ideal for making armor and helmets since its gray finish hides chips and damage.
4. Smooth Beige, a smooth, grain-free material in a soft beige tone, suitable for custom finishes

This pack serves to provide a reference on the characteristics and properties of each variant of the material. It allows you to check the flexibility, resistance, and ease of handling before purchasing larger sheets. It is also useful for testing painting, texturing, and assembly with different adhesives and tools.

The use of thermoplastics in cosplay and modeling has grown due to their lightness, resistance, and ease of use. Thanks to its malleability when heated and its firmness once cooled, it is a suitable material for beginners and experts alike. With the ThermoArt Sample Pack, users can test the properties of the material and determine which one best suits their needs before making a larger purchase.
