What Is Polymorph Plastic?

Polymorph is a thermoplastic material that can be shaped and reshaped any number of times. It is normally supplied as granules that look like small plastic beads. It can be heated in hot water and when it reaches 62 degrees centigrade the granules form a mass of 'clear' material.

What is polymorph plastic made from?

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.

What plastic is polymorph?

Polymorph is >99% epsilon caprolactone polyester with 1,4 butanediol. Stormsure polymorph is a linear polycaprolactone (PCL) monomer grade with high molecular weight (about 50,000). It is a compostable and printable grade, exhibiting very good biodegradability and resistance to tear, moisture and impact.
