How hard is polymorph?

Polymorph belongs to a class of polymers known as caprolactones. Featuring a low fusing temperature of around 60˚C, Polymorph transforms into a material that can be moulded into almost any shape when submerged in hot water. Upon cooling, it becomes a very tough, nylon-like polymer.

What is polymorph plastic used for?

Polymorph is used for: Manufacturing awkward shapes such as ergonomic handles. Joining components together. making moulds for vacuum forming.

What is polymorph plastic made of?

Polymorph is a non-toxic, biodegradable polyester with a low melting temperature of about 60°C (140°F). Prototype plastic parts can be made by simply heating the plastic beads in hot water until they turn clear and then kneading them together and shaping by hand. When it cools it becomes a nylon-like white plastic.

Is polymorph plastic safe?

Polymorph plastic is an exciting new compound in the aquarium hobby which has a wide range of versatile uses. This material is a non toxic polyester which has a low melting point of about 140F, but is workable by hand until it hardens at to a solid at room temperature.

What are the disadvantages of polymorph?

Polymorph is a true thermoplastic and can therefore be re-heated and thermoformed many times without deterioration. Polymorph should never be heated above the 60°C-65°C temperature range as it will not only become a sticky treacle-like mass but may cause burns if handled.

What is special about polymorph?

Polymorphism is the ability of a substance to crystallize into different crystalline forms. These crystalline forms are called polymorphs or crystalline modifications. Polymorphs have the same liquid or gaseous state but they behave differently in the solid state.

Is polymorph soft?

Polymorph (officially known as Polycaprolactone) is a biodegradable polyester that can be shaped and reshaped infinitely. It has a very low melting point of around 60°C – 62°C but when cool has physical properties of a very tough plastic, similar to nylon.

What makes polymorph smart?

Polymorph is a polymer that becomes malleable when heated to about 62°C. When it cools down it becomes hard enough to drill and cut. This makes it perfect for modelling as it can be reheated and formed again. It is also excellent for creating ergonomic handles.

How strong is thermoplastic?

Depending upon their chemistry they can be very much like rubber, or as strong as aluminum. Thermoplastics are light weight, with densities of . 9 to 2 gm/cc. Some high temperature thermoplastic materials can withstand temperature extremes of up to 600 F, while others retain their properties at -100 F.

Is moldable plastic toxic?

Our moldable plastic is non-toxic but we have not sought FDA approval for food contact or internal use. How strong is the finished part?

Is thermoplastic safe for your teeth?

The main characteristics of the thermoplastic resins used in dentistry are as follows: they are monomer-free and consequently nontoxic and nonallergenic, they are injected by using special devices, they are biocompatible, they have enhanced esthetics and they are comfortable to wear [10].
