Plastin is a technical modeling paste designed for industrial use only. Unlike regular modeling pastes, it won’t dries out and maintains its elasticity over time.
Plastin is very elastic, which makes it difficult to break and can be clamped to surfaces and removed without leaving a trace.
Plastin is used alongside plastiform products to create custom barriers or hold parts in place when taking impressions. It’s particularly useful for positioning difficult parts or when dealing with components with holes that need to be protected.
It can also prevent fluid plastiforms from leaking out of a controlled area when you try to make partial impressions or total impression of a part with a through hole.
A significant advantage of plastin is that it leaves no residue or oily marks on surfaces after removal. It’s designed for use with plastiforms and does not alter their results.
Since it’s not perishable, it can be used for extended periods without degrading.
The Plastin can and is recommended to be used in every Plastiform applications.
It can also complete protection or reinforcement applications by itself.
Plastiform products doesn’t stick to Plastin, when the impression is fully polymerized, just remove the plastin from it and you can use it again for another impression.
Before using plastin, ensure the surface is clean, even if it’s not directly part of the area being examined. Any residual grease could affect it and compromise the results.
To clean the surface, Plastiform recommends using the degreaser DN1, which is specially validated for impression-taking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of Plastin?
It is an industrial modeling clay that can be used as a replacement for conventional modeling clay. It is dedicated to industry, so it is permanently reusable and leaves no traces.
How should products be stored?
Products must always be stored between 15°C and 28°C, in their original packaging, and with the cap facing upwards. Cartridge plastiforms have a shelf life of up to 3 years, which remains unchanged even after they are opened. For more detailed information, please consult the technical data sheets.
How to clean the injection material after taking the impression ?
You don't need to clean the material. The nozzle is going to trash and the tip is reusable after extracting the polymerized material inside it.
How to correctly extract a Plastiform impression?
Plastiforms are highly precise, ensuring that once cured, they maintain perfect contact with the walls of the part, almost as if they are glued. To extract an impression: have a firm grip to pull energetically along the axis of the impression—twisting or unscrewing should be avoided. For this, it is essential to use demolding rings.
Are there any materials to which plastiforms cannot be applied?
It is possible to apply our products to any type of material and its alloys (including gold, silver, titanium). They can also be used on plastic materials, wood, resins, etc. However, certain silicone-based materials should be avoided, as they can sometimes alter the polymerization of the products. We always recommend a test before use.
Are plastiforms considered polluting products?
Our products are neither polluting nor toxic. However, since the packaging and products themselves are made of plastic, they should be disposed of in traditional waste facilities and not left in natural environments.
Is it necessary to have a designated space set up for taking an impression?
While plastiforms are designed for use in metrology laboratories, they can be utilized in various environments such as workshops, outdoors, and on production lines. However, it is crucial to ensure that the area to be examined is properly cleaned and degreased to maintain the quality of the impression. We recommend using the degreaser DN1, a Plastiform-certified product, for optimal results.
