Worbla's Transpa Art.

TranspArt (also Transpa Art) is Worbla's option for those looking for a resilient, non-toxic and solvent stable clear plastic that can be hand formed and vacuformed with ease.

• Sheet size: 370 x 248mm
• Similar flexibility and weight to Worbla's Finest Art (WFA).
• Shape by hand, use a mould or vacuform.
• Recycle scraps by heating & reblended (they take on a milky, frosted look that's great for using to diffuse light).
• Resistant to cracks, fractures & shattering.
• Flexible - returns to form when bent.
• Lighter than acrylic sheeting and more durable than PETG.
• TranspArt is injection moulded, the injection lines are present in the finished sheets, but can be worked out with heat and shaping.
• Great for creating small cosplay/costume pieces.
• Fantastic for making visors, decorative eyewear, ice, crystal and fire effects.

Worbla's TranspArt does require a higher activation temperature of 120 Celsius or 250 Fahrenheit compared to Worbla's Finest Art (WFA)'s 90 Celsius. As such it's strongly advised you wear smooth work gloves when using Worbla's TranspArt. (Remember, you are heating it above the boiling point of water). It's also recommended that you use a damp sponge for shaping, to avoid marks and prints, and a firm toothbrush or other sculpting tools can be helpful to get small complex curves to shape.
