Sulphur-free, non-drying, oil-based sculpting clay with high wax content.
- Low-tack texture
- Resists deformation
- Compatible with silicone
- Requires armatures for thin sections
- Surface oxidation with repeated heating
The Chavant Plastiline category includes professional-grade, oil-based modeling materials for sculpture, prototyping, and mold-making. A key benefit across these products is that they are sulfur-free, making them completely compatible with platinum-cure silicones without causing cure inhibition. They are non-drying, highly reusable, and can be softened with heat.
The product line comprises four distinct formulations, each tailored to specific artistic and technical requirements:
Chavant NSP™: A wax-rich, non-drying sculpting clay featuring a low-tack texture. It highly resists deformation but requires structural armatures for thin sections. Repeated heating can cause mild surface oxidation. Softening temperature is 66°C (150°F).
Chavant Le Beau Touché™: An exceptionally smooth and flexible Fine Art Plasteline. It is slightly tacky with excellent adhesive qualities, yet maintains a non-sticky consistency perfect for precise detailing. It comes in multiple firmness levels.
Chavant Clayette™: A premium modeling clay recognized for its smooth, buttery consistency. It is non-meltable, has a density of 1.65 g/cm³, and softens at a lower temperature of 46°C (115°F). Its Off-White color is ideal for clearly observing light and shadow dynamics. Available in Soft, Medium, and Hard.
Chavant Contour: A high-precision medium engineered specifically for detailed shaping and structural carving. It has a low-tack texture, medium wax content, and a density of 1.55 g/cm³. It can be repeatedly heated to its softening temperature of 63°C (150°F) and cooled without cracking, ensuring superb resistance to deformation in warm environments.
This versatile range provides professionals and hobbyists alike with the exact material properties required for detailed figure sculpting, industrial prototyping, or clean mold preparation.
