ThermoArt Transparent 375x500 mm

ThermoArt Transparent is a transparent thermoplastic based on polyester and PETG, designed for thermoforming elements in modeling, cosplay, and creative projects. It activates when exposed to heat above 70°C, becoming flexible and easy to thermoform, and retains its new shape after cooling. Both its final hardness and ease of thermoforming allow you to create solid, opaque elements such as armor or helmets, after painting, for example: Star Wars soldier armor or RC car bodies; as well as transparent visual effects with lighting, making it ideal for the production of visors, lenses, windows, light armor, and decorations with LED lighting. After cooling, the material hardens, gaining resistance to wear and minor impacts, which guarantees durability without adding unnecessary weight.

It is activated by heat, usually using a heat gun or a domestic oven, allowing for precise shaping before hardening as a result of cooling. Thanks to its ability to adhere to itself when hot, it does not require glue to join elements, allowing for easy creation of solid and complex structures. Although it belongs to the ThermoArt series, this transparent version is not suitable for recycling scraps by creating a plastic mass, which is a significant difference compared to other variants in the thermoplastic family. However, it is a material that can be used in vacuum forming machines to create complex elements or processed with a heat gun or hot water for manual modeling.
