Black thermoplastic for Cosplay

ThermoArt Black Art is an extruded thermoplastic manufactured in Spain by Green Stuff World in sheets, designed specifically for the world of cosplay, modeling, and the performing arts. This material shares characteristics with other popular thermoplastics, offering great versatility, double-sided adhesion, and excellent malleability.

It is heat-activated using a hot air gun, allowing it to be molded and adapted to any shape before hardening again on cooling. Its flexibility and ease of handling make it ideal for creating armor, weapons, masks, and detailed accessories. In addition, it can be cut, sanded, and painted with acrylic paints, guaranteeing professional finishes.

Furthermore, it is a material that can be easily cut, sanded, and painted with acrylic paints and flexible paints, which favors achieving professional finishes in any project in which it is used. For sanding this material, 280-600 grit sandpaper is recommended.

ThermoArt Black Art is a resistant and reusable material made from a mixture of polyester and mineral fillers, which allows errors to be corrected by applying heat without wasting material. Its hot-melt adhesive on both sides facilitates the joining of pieces without the need for additional glue. One side is smooth, while the other has a fine texture, offering different finishing options depending on the needs of the project.
