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.

As soon as it has hardened, the sculptor will have created a beautiful sculpture or decoration that can be used both outdoors and indoors. Additionally, it is possible to combine Paverpol with silk, paper, self-hardening clay, chamois leather, polystyrene foam, wood, died flowers, pottery, plaster and many 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.

The hardener is water based and provides people who deal with works of art with a new trusted and serious material for strengthening their scope of work, whether used inside or outside. It is made even more appealing by the fact that is does not depreciate polystyrene foam as witnessed in other textile 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.

Just the mere fact that Paverpol received the ACMI awards proves that it is very environment friendly. Most countries in Europe may not yet have set specific rules for testing hardeners, but is allowed in a number of Scandinavian nations. In these countries, they have high standards when it comes to policies of safety.

The United States of America is quite strict when it comes to importing foreign products. This is particularly the case when the product in question is likely to be applied in the education sector. Several North American labs have been working for quite some time doing research and tests on Paverpol fabric hardener. The product has passed all the tests, and is now the only textile hardener that is safe to use for both children and adults.
