Product information

Polystyrene rigid foam is the ideal material for architectural model making, whether it is a working model, competition entry, creative form or cube, the material can be processed quickly and shaped easily. With a hot wire cutter, e.g. the Proxxon Thermocut, it is clean and quick, and with a file and fine sandpaper, creative shaping is also possible.

Solvent-free adhesives are suitable for gluing, on the one hand the special rigid foam adhesives such as Elefantenkleber-Styropor® or UHUpor, but of course also all corresponding craft adhesives. White glues are also possible to a limited extent, but it is important that the rigid foam is glued to an absorbent material such as cardboard so that the glue can dry. When painting, it is also important to use suitable paints; many spray cans from DIY stores are too aggressive and quickly dissolve the fine structure of the foam. You can spray directly onto the foam with specially designated polystyrene-resistant paint series such as Marabu colored paint or Ghiant paints. For use with other spray paints, there are polystyrene primers that form a protective layer and protect the model from damage. All water-soluble acrylic paints from artists' supplies are ideally suited, as these paints cover very quickly due to their high pigment content, which compensates for the increased time required for brushing on.

Rigid foam is also a great material for advertising, as it can be used to cut out large letters for lettering or logos.
