Kingsway Legend Technology - Chavant Modelling Clay

Chavant Industrial Styling & Sculpting Clays Professional Plasteline : This modeling compound is ideal for the professional sculptor and all school levels. Plasteline is soft, smooth, permanently plastic, reusable and does not require heating. Contains sulphur. CM-50 : This medium-hard formulation is the softest of the styling clays. Excellent adhesion and consistency for producing accurate models. Billets now deaired. Contain sulphur. J-525 : This hard formulation provides a slightly harder modeling compound than the CM-50. This results in better edge definition and surface detail. Billets are now deaired. Contain sulphur. J-88 : This extremely hard sculpting clay is often carved where high detail applications are required. Contains sulphur. **This material will be discontinued once our current inventory is depleted.** Please contact customer service for current inventory levels. CM-70 : This extra hard styling clay is the hardest of the sulphur-type clays. Popular throughout the automotive industry where surface detail and finish are critical. Contain sulphur. P-40 : This "sulphur-free" styling clay is the hardest available. The benefits of using this clay are excellent edge definition and compatibility with silicone rubbers.

Typically harder in durometer than condensation cure rubbers, these materials feature an unlimited library life, very low shrinkage, and are often the easiest rubbers to create molds from, which is why they are demonstrated extensively in our instructional videos. They do, however, experience a greater cure inhibition with materials like sulfur-containing clays, vinyl, and woodsap, which we will demonstrate here, with a circular dam of non-sulphuric clay built on top a block of sulphuric clay. After pouring V-340 in this mold, we allow it to cure overnight. Upon demolding, notice how most of the rubber has cured, including that which came into the contact with the non-sulphuric clay. The bottom, however, is still wet. And even after sitting an additional day, it still fails to cure, proving that proper sealing and releasing of sulphuric clay, vinyl, and wood is essential when using addition cure rubber. Freeman also offers five other Rhodia addition cure rubbers to meet various hardness and wear resistance requirements, including V-3040, a translucent rubber ideal for creating molds with complex parting lines. The other type of silicone rubber, condensation cure rubber, is typically softer in durometer, which makes it ideal for molds with deep undercuts.

Chavant has been producing non-drying modeling clays for over 100 years. Claude Chavant, a French chemist, developed the original formulas in 1892. These fundamental recipes have been modified throughout the years to meet the changing demands of sculptors and maintain compatibility with many associated emerging technologies. Today, Chavant manufactures the widest variety of premier quality, reasonably priced modeling clays available. Chavant clays are used by sculptors in the Fine Arts, Special Effects/ StageProps, Consumer Products, and Transportation Design industries to name a few.
