An Overview Of Paverpol Fabric Hardener

By Lawanda Burch


Paverpol fabric hardener is an environmentally friendly substance use to harden fabric rock. Although originally it is white in color, within a few hours of application it will dry to become transparent. The final process of hardening takes one or two weeks, depending on the surrounding areas temperature. Once hardening is completely done, the artwork becomes weather resistant, capable of withstanding wind, rain, snow, sun and frost.

The sculptor does not have to wear gloves when working on the product, as tolls used and hands can be cleaned using just clean water. To harden natural materials, all the sculptor has to is dip them into the substance while draped or wrapped in any armature available such as a wire figure, then allowing it to dry. The hardener dries rapidly, but slowly enough to provide adequate working time.

As soon as it has hardened, the sculptor will have created a beautiful sculpture or decoration that can be used both outdoors and indoors. Additionally, it is possible to combine Paverpol with silk, paper, self-hardening clay, chamois leather, polystyrene foam, wood, died flowers, pottery, plaster and many other materials.

Paverpol is the worlds best medium for fiber sculpting and hardening textiles. It is the only product of its kind that has received an award from the Arts and Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) called the AP non-toxic seal. A group of scientists from Holland created the hardener in the early 1990s as an alternative to resin that was user and environment friendly. Artists and crafters now use it across the world in more than twenty countries.

This water-based one step creme provides sculptors, mixed media artists, doll makers, painters, exterior and interior designers, fabric-artists and theater set crews with a serious new medium for expanding their work scope, either outdoors or indoors. Whats more, it does not deteriorate polystyrene foam like is the case with a majority of other fabric hardeners.

There are several precautions to be observed in order to get the best results when using Paverpol. It should never be poured down the drain, a pail of water should always be set aside in a work station to occasionally rinse the hands and brushes. Despite the fact that the hardener is water based and non toxic, it is made for hardening rocks and should therefore not be stuck in any plumbing. Should any sediments be collected at the bottom of the pail, they should be gotten rid of in any available trash receptacle.

The ACMI award conferred to Paverpol confirms that it is an environmentally friendly product indeed. Despite most European countries not having a specified type of safety label, the product is allowed in several Scandinavian countries. Such countries have high standards regarding safety policies.

The US is very strict concerning the importation of products from foreign countries. This is especially the case should the product to be imported be likely to be used in the sector of education. A number of labs in North America has been researching and testing the Paverpol fabric hardener for a while. The hardener has passed all the tests and is now recognized as the only one that can be safely used by both grown up and children.
