CM-50 -

CM-50 Industrial Hard Styling clay is used by product designers for the creation of automotive, marine, aerospace and consumer product models. Sculptors use CM-50 for high detail artwork, when a firmer clay body is desired, such as a #4 Plastilina, or if they want to incorporate various organic, smooth, curved shapes normally seen in transportation design into their sculpture. CM-50 is the softest of Chavant's Hard Styling clay. Because of its room temperature firmness CM-50 is not the best choice for studios with a desire to machine the clay, although it can be milled successfully. Normally warmed to approximately 135° F, CM-50 can also be modeled or sculpted at room temperatures. The surface and basic shapes of CM-50 can be worked nicely by hand at room temperature, although the flexibility is greatly reduced at room temperature. CM-50 is a sulphur-based product that has excellent qualities of adhesion, cohesion and consistency. It can be carved, extruded and slicked to an extremely smooth surface. CM-50 is available as a DeAired clay. The DeAiring process reduces the individual clay compound particle sizes creating a smoother clay and, as the name suggests, entrapped air is removed from the finished clay billet making the clay more slightly more dense and better for extrusion processes.

  Handling Tips: CM-50 Hard Styling Clay is most often warmed to its softening point before it is applied to armature. Care should be taken not to burn the clay during warming.

 

Unique Prop's: Hard styling clays can be shaped to a very accurate and stable model. Many types of molds including MDM, polyester, epoxy, urethane and silicone can be taken from the clay surface.

 

Density: 90 pounds per cubic foot.

 

Softening point: 135° F - 150° F

 

Working Temp: Room Temperature to 135° F.

J-525 -

J-525 Industrial Hard Styling clay is primarily used by product designers for the creation of automotive, marine, aerospace and consumer product models. Sculptors occasionally use J-525 for high detail artwork, when a firmer clay body is desired or if they want to incorporate various shapes normally seen in transportation design into the sculpture. J-525 is recognized as a worldwide industry standard. It has a medium firmness at room temperature and can be shaped with modeling tools or templates. Because of its room temperature firmness J-525 is suitable for studios with a desire to machine the clay. Normally warmed to approximately 145° F, a temperature that begins to feel hot in the users hands, J-525 will accept developed template shapes well at most temperatures. The surface and corners of J-525 can be smoothed nicely by hand at room temperature, although the flexibility is greatly reduced at room temperature. It would be difficult to take a cube of J-525 and roll it into a ball at room temperature. J-525 is a sulphur-based product that has excellent qualities of adhesion, cohesion and consistency. It can be carved, extruded and slicked to an extremely smooth surface. J-525 is available as a DeAired clay. DeAired J-525 is one of Chavant's most popular products.
