From baubles to an assortment of Christmas tree ornaments, Kraftex FrogzEggz® from Pratley is a completely biodegradable, hand-mouldable plastic that allows you to unleash your festive creativity this holiday season. The name is derived from the opaque, plastic material that, after being heated in hot water, clumps together to form a transparent, pliable mass that resembles frogs’ eggs. It can then be shaped into a range of objects.
FrogzEggz® is heated to 60°C in water for it to become a malleable soft plastic. It will be ready for use in about a minute, as indicated by changing colour from opaque to transparent. When removing FrogzEggz® from the hot water, it is advisable to use a spoon or similar instrument to avoid scalding.
The malleable material is easily scooped out as a massed-together clump, whereupon it can be moulded by the user. Although still warm, its insulating properties render it easy to handle while forming and shaping. The required shape is then simply placed directly in cold water for it to set and harden quickly.
If desired, powder pigments can be added to FrogzEggz® to achieve different colours. This also includes Pratley Glow-Powder, a new glow-in-the-dark pigment, for added variety and creativity. Powder-form pigments are simply sprinkled and mixed into FrogzEggz® while it’s still pliable, until a uniform colour consistency is achieved. It can also be painted with acrylic or oil-based paints if desired.
Unsure if your miniature reindeer or Christmas tree ornament is exactly how you want it? No problem! An added advantage of FrogzEggz® is that it can be reused multiple times by re-submerging your design in hot water until it softens, allowing you to remould. Separate components or elements can be stuck together by heating the surfaces and fusing them together, or by using Pratley Powda Bond or Pratley Superglue adhesive.
In order to promote the new product among markets as diverse as arts-and-crafts, educational, DIY and even cosplay, Pratley is launching a ’70 ideas with FrogzEggz®’ campaign on social media (#MouldMeMakeMe). “The campaign ties in with our 70th anniversary celebrations this year,” Manager Andrew Pratley highlights.
