Roma Plastilina No1 /2lb Block

Roma Plastilina from Chavant is a high-quality, non-drying modeling clay known for its smooth texture and excellent workability. It’s often used by artists, sculptors, and animators for creating detailed models and sculptures. This clay is oil-based, which means it remains pliable and doesn’t harden over time, allowing for extended working sessions without worrying about drying out.

Roma Plastilina is often used for ballistic testing because of its unique properties that closely simulate human tissue.

Here are a few reasons why it's favored in this context:

Density and Consistency: The clay has a similar density to human muscle and tissue, allowing researchers to evaluate how projectiles interact with materials that mimic real-life scenarios.

Non-Drying Nature: Since Roma Plastilina does not dry out, it maintains a consistent texture throughout the testing process, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

Ease of Shaping: The clay can be easily molded and shaped to create different anatomical forms or layers, which is essential for simulating various conditions during ballistic tests.

Clear Observation of Impact: The clay provides a clear impression of projectiles upon impact, allowing for detailed analysis of penetration, deformation, and other factors.

Safety and Convenience: Using a non-toxic material like Roma Plastilina is safer than using biological materials, making it a practical choice for laboratories.

Overall, its combination of physical properties and ease of use makes Roma Plastilina an effective material for simulating the effects of ballistic impacts in testing environments.
