Seamless Modeling Paste System (pictured)

Huntsman Advanced Materials has developed new  Seamless Modeling Paste (SMP) for making plugs and patterns and models and is used in the automotive, aerospace, marine and other industries. 

This technology produces strong, lightweight models which are often more stable then those made from traditional materials such as timber.

Designed for one-step application, there is no time lost in the plug building process through multiple processes. 

There are several advantages of this innovative solution:

• Greater design options and more accuracy 
• Apply it one day, machine it the next.  
• Good milling characteristics giving a fine surface 
• Clean process - minimal emissions and low dust
• Ability to take moulds off with minimal preparation
