Polymer clay is a type of clay based on the synthetic polymer polyvinyl chloride. It is different from earthen clay used for pottery, which must be fired in a kiln, and from air-dry clay such as paper clay, which dries at room temperature, and from modeling clay used by children and animators and does not dry.
Introduction
Polymer clay hardens by curing at temperatures created in a typical home oven (generally at 265 to 275 °F (129 to 135 °C), for 15 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) of thickness), and does not shrink or change texture during the process. When properly cured, most clays create items which won't break if dropped or normally stressed. It also comes in liquid form and in permanently flexible solid form.
Polymer clay is sold in craft, hobby, and art stores, and is used by artists, hobbyists, and children. Leading brands of polymer clay include Premo, FimoClassic and FimoSoft, Kato Polyclay, Sculpey (Sculpey, SuperSculpey, Sculpey III), Cernit, Formello, and Modello.
