NatureThane

NatureThane rigid molding foams are designed for taxidermy applications, providing the strength and durability needed for creating high-quality, detailed forms.

How it WorksCommon UsesBenefitsCustom FormulationsTypical Properties

How NatureThane Works

NatureThane foam system is a two-component polyurethane that’s poured into molds to create rigid, durable foam structures. Upon mixing, the system undergoes an expansion process, where the foam rises and cures, forming a lightweight but strong core that is ideal for animal form molding in taxidermy. The system features a non-friable core and smooth, blemish-free surface for enhanced aesthetics in your taxidermy projects.

Common Uses

NatureThane is primarily used in the taxidermy industry, providing a reliable foam system for creating molds of animal forms. However, its high versatility extends to various related applications, offering users dependable results across a range of projects in industries where fine detail and lightweight structures are essential.

Benefits of NatureThane

Excellent Flow

The NatureThane foam system flows easily into molds, ensuring that intricate details and small crevices are fully filled, resulting in more accurate and detailed animal form reproductions.

Thin, Non-Glassy Skin

The foam produces a thin, non-glassy skin, which is beneficial for applications requiring detailed sculpting or texturing. This property ensures a natural, realistic look for animal forms.

Low Density, Non-Friable Core

The low-density core is lightweight yet robust, making it easy to handle and shape, while also ensuring durability over time without the risk of friability.

Light Colored, Blemish Free Surface

With its light-colored, smooth finish, NatureThane foam provides a flawless surface that eliminates visible blemishes, perfect for display purposes and fine art applications.

Quick Demold Time

This foam system offers fast production cycles, ensuring that you can move to the next phase of your project quickly while maintaining high-quality standards.

Custom Formulations

At NCFI, we know that every project has its own unique requirements. That's why we offer the ability to customize the NatureThane foam system to meet the specific needs of your application. Whether you need a higher density, specialized surface finish, or enhanced flexibility, our team is ready to collaborate with you to create the optimal foam solution.
