How The Paverpol Fabric Hardener Works

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.

When hardening has taken place, the artist will have made a beautiful decoration or sculpture that can be viewed both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the product can be combined with self-hardening clay, paper, silk, chamois leather, wood, polystyrene foam, dried flowers, plaster, pottery together with numerous 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.

To have an easy time when using Paverpol, it is advisable to follow certain precaution. One of them is that it should not be poured down any drain. Washing of hands and rinsing of tools should be done in a bucket of water set aside in the working area. Although it is non-toxic and water-based, its work is to harden rocks and therefore should not be allowed to come into contact with plumbing.

Paverpol is indeed an environmentally friendly product, as confirmed by the ACMI award. Although not many countries in Europe do not really have a specific safety label type, the product is approved in Scandinavian countries. These nations are carrying out high standards in regards to 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.
