The Superior Working Properties of Kato Polyclay
• Ease of conditioning and handling
• Color stability and uniform consistency
• Non-sticky formula
• Superior cured strength
Kato Polyclay is easy to condition with no crumbling. Slice
the polyclay into pieces approximately 1/4” thick and roll
through the thickest setting of your pasta machine. Finish
by folding and rolling. Or, by hand, cut the clay into chunks
and knead until it is soft and pliable.
Even with continuous kneading and working, Kato
Polyclay maintains its ease of workability and does not
become sticky.
Most Kato Polyclay colors remain unchanged from
raw to cured state. Certain colors deepen very slightly when cured.
Kato Polyclay is the only clay utilizing vacuum processing…
a state of the art process that removes internal air pockets.
Kato Polyclay is the strongest polymer clay on the market,
and each color shares the same durability.
Polymer clays are man made modeling materials that, once heat cured, become permanent and will not return to their original state. All are composed of the same basic components: plasticizers, resins, fillers and colorants.
Before using polymer clay it must be conditioned… knead by hand until the clay is soft and pliable or fold and roll through a pasta machine.
Inadequate conditioning will result in weakened finished items.
Polymer clay pieces can be cured in a standard oven (convection) or toaster oven. Do not microwave polymer clay.
Check oven accuracy with a thermometer and use a timer to avoid
exceeding curing time. Cure at 275F (135C) for 30 minutes per 1/4” of thickness.
