ABOUT BALSA-FOAM

Phenolic Balsa-Foam is different from all other kinds of foam. It was developed specifically for three-dimensional design and model making. Using a variety of conventional and not-so-conventional hand tools, you can easily create the shape and the detail you need.

Balsa-Foam is used by a growing number of industrial designers and model builders across the country because of how easily and quickly they can create detailed shapes.

Balsa-Foam is also ideal for school art projects. Balsa-Foam (BF I density) enhances student safety because if offers little resistance to sharp carving tools, greatly reducing the risk of slipping. Younger students can sculpt Balsa-Foam I with emery boards and wooden picks.

Balsa-Foam I...5 lb. pcf. The softest, easiest -to-work Balsa Foam offers speed and economy. It is ideal for quick form studies and concept models. Smooth texture, and excellent detail, but low durability without protective coating.

Balsa-Foam II...10 lb. pcf.
Still very easy to work, but much more durable than Balsa-Foam I. The 10 lb. density is hard enough for many vacuum form mold applications.

Balsa-Foam III...20lb. pcf.
The hardest Balsa-Foam is the best choice when maximum durability of the model is important.
