Michelangelo Casting Plaster

99.9% PURE SYNTHETIC RESIN FOR HANDS AND BODY CASTS. MADE IN ITALY.

MICHELANGELO CASTING PLASTER is an innovative synthetic resin powder that belongs to the category of synthetic or artificial plasters. It can be mixed with water in appropriate stoichiometric ratios, just like natural plasters.

Once mixed, the resulting compound becomes a fluid mass that can be easily poured into silicone rubber molds, casings, or low-pressure injection molds. The special formulation of MICHELANGELO CASTING PLASTER allows for natural and rapid drying without the need for baking. The details produced with this product are faithful to the original without any deformation or shrinkage, and can be decorated with any type of colored supply (synthetic, acrylic, solvent or water-based) and even treated in a galvanic bath.

The use of MICHELANGELO CASTING PLASTER is safe as the material is completely non-toxic and does not cause any harmful reactions during processing, contact, ingestion or ventilation. In addition, the tools used for processing can be cleaned with water.

In summary, MICHELANGELO CASTING PLASTER is an innovative product that allows for the production of faithful details with easy workability, safety of use, and the possibility of personalization. Its special features include high resistance for numerous fields of use, low expansion, biological safety for natural derivation of various components, biodegradability of the resulting artifacts, adaptability to industrial or child processing, molecular structure of the finished product similar to porcelain, no need for drying or baking, low thermal reaction peak of about 30°C, very high reproduction accuracy, possibility of mass or surface coloring, physiologically non-toxic, possibility of polishing the finished product with brushes, and possibility of galvanic finishes.
