{"product_id":"nsp","title":"NSP","description":"\u003cp\u003eChavant NSP clay is a globally well-accepted non sulfur modeling clay used by the Special Effects and Fine Arts industries. It holds exceptional surface details and is somewhat waxier and tougher than other Chavant products. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in: Soft, Medium, and Hard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColors: Green, Brown or Tan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePACKAGING: \u003cbr\u003e2 lb block (.907 kg.)\u003cbr\u003e10 lb block (4.53 kg.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSP was introduced in 1993. The intention was to eliminate the sulfur filler in a professional grade sculpting clay, which often caused inhibition problems with various liquid rubber mold-making materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NSP product line consists of clays that contain higher percentage of wax components making the clays somewhat “tougher”. Available in Soft, Medium or Hard, these clays have good adhesive qualities, flexibility and length. Because they are “tougher” NSP tends to accept cut detail lines very cleanly, with no ragged edges. The surface texture of NSP will be somewhat “grabby” when compared to sulfur-based clays and even the NSP – Soft is rather firm by some people's standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSP is commonly used by artists for the creation of sculpture and is often used to fill cracks in industrial patterns or to build dams when making splash molds. Product designers who freehand sculpt also use NSP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSP is subject to surface oxidation. If the clay is in its original package it will have a long shelf life. If the clay is repeatedly heated and cooled, oxidation is accelerated. Sometimes this characteristic is beneficial in handling or mold making since the surface can become harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Unique Properties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNSP can be softened with heat to be troweled, brushed, or liquified for casting into silicone molds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysical Properties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurometer:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoft:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 24A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedium:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 33A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 51A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNSP Soft and Medium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Density: 99 lbs.\/cu. ft.

NSPTM is very solvent friendly; solvents such as naphtha, clear mineral spirits and turpentine are aggressive solvents which can be used to quickly soften and dissolve the surface. Citrus based solvents such as D-limonene can also be used but may cause inhibition when molding the clay using silicone rubber. 99% Isopropyl alcohol can be used to smooth the clay surface if a less aggressive solvent effect is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: If isopropyl myristate is used on the surface of NSP™, the surface will remain soft, and it will not return to the original hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smooth-on.com\/msds\/files\/SULFER%20FREE%20CLAY%20SDS%204-7-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smooth-on.com\/tb\/files\/Chavant_NSP_TB.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chavant","offers":[{"title":"Brown Soft 2lb","offer_id":48015687385403,"sku":"57110","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Soft 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687418171,"sku":"57110A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Medium 2lb","offer_id":48015687450939,"sku":"57120","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Medium 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687483707,"sku":"57120A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Hard 2lb","offer_id":48015687516475,"sku":"57130","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Hard 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687549243,"sku":"57130A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Soft 2lb","offer_id":48015687614779,"sku":"57111","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Soft 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687647547,"sku":"57111A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Medium 2lb","offer_id":48015687680315,"sku":"57121","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Medium 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687713083,"sku":"57121A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Hard 2lb","offer_id":48015687745851,"sku":"57131","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Hard 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687778619,"sku":"57131A","price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan Soft 2lb","offer_id":48015687811387,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan Soft 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687844155,"sku":null,"price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan Medium 2lb","offer_id":48015687876923,"sku":"57122","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan Medium 40lb Case (20 Bricks)","offer_id":48015687909691,"sku":null,"price":213.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Medium 10lb","offer_id":48015687942459,"sku":"57120B","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown Medium 50lb Case (5 Bricks)","offer_id":49904182624571,"sku":"","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Medium 10lb","offer_id":48015687975227,"sku":"57121B","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Medium 50lb Case (5 Bricks)","offer_id":48015688040763,"sku":"57121C","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/nsplogo.png?v=1710988019","url":"https:\/\/maacaffestore.com\/products\/nsp","provider":"The Compleat Sculptor, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
