SuperMorph: Plastic Pellets That Melt in Hot Water - 50% off - $2.95 Delivered @ diykitsau eBay

360

SuperMorph is an amazing plastic that melts at 62°C. Safely mould it with your hands into your desired shape. When it cools, it reverts to a hard plastic. Use it for DIY repairs, creating replacement parts and modelling.

The common name is polymorph, but we discovered the hard way that not all polymorph is the same. Our superior quality polymorph is:

  • Super easy to use
  • Super fast to melt
  • Super safe - it's non-toxic and can be used for food applications
  • Super pliable - unlike other materials, it's quick and easy to form your desired shape
  • Super strong - it has a consistency similar to nylon
  • Super versatile - create figurines, DIY repairs, spare parts and robotics.

So our version of polymorph is called SuperMorph!

HALF PRICE - today only.

    No price in title? No location?

    • Price varies based on quantity. We're an online store based in Sydney.

  • Its between 59 and 19.99 a kilo delivered, depending on quantity. I dont know if thats good or bad, but it looks fun…

  • +3

    I'd like to try this… but wish there was a deal with a colouring pack (or the option to buy a colouring pack separately).

    • +6

      Yeah, unfortunately, the coloured pellets cost us a fortune. No idea why and I've tried to negotiate a better deal with the manufacturer, but for now that's the best we can do.

      • No problems, I understand! :) Was just hoping for the colour pellets to be available separately, not necessarily at a discount. Went ahead and got the $30 pack anyway (with some extra 50% off pellets) as I really want to give them a go.

    • You might be able to use food dye.

      Printer ink too. It would be best if you get an ink that is pigment based.

    @OP, Could you Please tell us if it is an electrical insulator OR not?
    And can you give us an idea what volume 100 grams become when melted.
    Thank you Very Much :)

      Picture number 6 in the listing has a comparison of sizes and a coin and a coke can for reference. Surprising how little 1kg gets you tbh

      • @Damoj4, Thank you Very Much for your reply

        • @OP, Could you Please also tell us what is its shelf life?
          Thank you Very Much :)

          @keengeorge:

          I wouldn't recommend shelfing anything like this, despite the promise of it being non toxic.

        • +1

          @keengeorge: Keep it cool and you should expect several years. Most quantities come in a plastic zip lock bag and it's a good idea to keep this in a drawer. We put the 1 kilo in an aluminium bag which gives it a bit more protection.

        • @BaryGusey: Thank you Very Much for the info

          @keengeorge: Hi keengeorge, I was making a joke, I am sorry.

          Shelfing is a slang term for the rectal ingestion of medications. The joke was that I was I was implying I misunderstood your intended use for these pellets and intended to fashion yourself some type of home made sex aid. I am sorry for misleading you or making a joke at your expense.

      Quite similar to nylon. I imagine that low voltage applications would be okay.

      • @Rick Sure/OP: Thank you Very Much for your reply & info

  • +1

    Do you also sell the pigment needed to colour these pellets?

    • We have some coloured pellets that are specifically made for polymorph and they blend really well, but no deal for those at the moment. You can also mix the white pellets with powdered pigments or paint it after it cools.

      • Can we use food coloring.. Any one done any experiments

  • +5

    Because the world needs more plastic.

    • +7

      What’s wrong with plastic? It’s better to use recycled plastic for new widgets than it ending on landfills.

    • +14

      Plastics in general are strong, durable, lightweight and easily recycled. Instead of blaming other people and “plastic” itself you need to ask why everything in the supermarket is covered in it and what behaviours you have demonstrated to help prevent this.

      • Oh I definitely ask….
        Definitely do change….
        And most definitely do not blame

      • +1

        Plastics in general are strong, durable, lightweight and easily recycled.

        Thanks for the information, the problem is people overuse plastics and don't recycle enough.

    • -8

      Don't worry, the human race is doomed because of climate change so worrying about plastic is silly.

      People are pretending to save the earth by not using Cling Wrap (man, what a sacrifice, really putting themselves out there) and burning extra fossil fuels to pointlessly recycle cardboard so clearly they understand that the end of civilisation is just around the corner and they concentrating on the important things.

    • +1

      Plastics helped build modern civilisation (along with the tech to use hydrocarbons). Until something better actually comes along I suggest tone down the virtue signallin (Actually you won’t need to do anything as the better thing would get adopted anyway). It’s getting tedious, and raising costs for everyone.

    Do you only source organic chia-fed polymorphs?

    • +7

      Are they free range polymers?

        You just gave me the idea to sell organic motor oil to hipsters. I’ll charge twice the price of synthetic.

        • Your comment is witty but your username and pic made me laugh!

  • How do you colour it?

    Wonder if this would be an easy way to make Meeples for board games?

    e.g.
    https://www.meeplesource.com/

    • We do have a coloured pellets package, but as I've mentioned in other replies, it's not the cheapest option. They're seriously concentrated, so you only need a pellet or three to mix in with the white, but not everyone goes this way. Alternatives are to look for powdered pigments or paint it when you're finished. I've also had reasonable results mixing in water-based stains.

      • Water base stains.. Meaning food coloring?

        • Not what I meant, but an interesting idea. I'll have to try that.

          I meant wood stains. I've got some Australian made stains from a company called UBeaut that work well. You have to mix it in thoroughly and it's best to wear gloves as the stains are concentrated and really do stain.

  • Thanks op, purchased.

  • Damn… Just bought a kilo from another seller last week. Paid $27 - OP what was your price? (The 1kg option has sold out so i can't see your price any more)

    • 1kg is $20, minus a $5 voucher that popped up. Voucher works for anonymous accounts too $15 for a kilo of ‘mouldy’ plastic lol

      • Can you please elaborate on the $5.00 voucher?

        I can't find anything, so am not sure if it's associated to this specific deal, or if it's a personal voucher allocated to your account?

    • +3

      Updated available quantity.

      The 1 kilo price is fiercely competitive and our normal price is $39.99 on eBay. I know that's not the cheapest, but all I can say is ours is very good quality and we are an Aussie business with local stock. We've imported from other suppliers who are cheaper, but the product "went off" after a few months, so we've chosen to stick with the best quality possible.

  • +1

    Is this a practical alternative to knead it?

    • +7

      OzBargain isn't about needs, it's about wants!

    • +1

      Depends on the application. Although I haven't used it, Knead It appears to be better at bonding than polymorph. Polymorph will stick to itself quite well, but not well to other surfaces, especially smooth surfaces such as glass or steel. You also need to keep in mind that polymorph melts (and remelts) at 62 degrees. So using it in a dishwasher or in the interior of a car is a bad idea. However there are other repair uses where polymorph is seriously helpful.

      • Is it safe and nontoxic for human orifice insertion?

    • No.

      Knead It

      Long-lasting, durable solution

      SuperMorph

      Polymorph is biodegradable. It will, after many years, start to become brittle … it's probably fair to quote 10 years before it starts to weaken.

  • +1

    hmmm so many uses I can think of

  • This vs hot melt glue sticks?

    • Glue sticks are much more viscous when heated and as such are really only useful for sticking stuff together. The temperature also means you really need to apply it with the gun. Polymorph remains quite pliable when warm and it's (just) cool enough so you can create objects with your hands.

  • +1

    Is it re useable? Ie heat shape cool, then later heat an reshape?

    • +2

      Yes. Remelt it unlimited times.

  • +3

    bought some to give it a go. Once again didn't know I needed it until I saw it on ozbargain

  • +2

    I have to think about someone buying this and putting in someone's tea. I don't know exactly how it works, but it seems pretty likely that this will happen at some point (because some people are bad, or stupid, or both). How much of this someone could drink without knowing, and what are the possible consequences of having this plastic becoming solid inside someone's body? That's a reflexive question only, I'm not expecting an answer. Working with forensics, I've seen the weirdest things in life, and everyone has access to Youtube and videos of stupid people doing stupid things.

    • Working with forensics,

      Interesting line of work.

    • +5

      "Melts" might be the wrong word. The pellets become soft, but they don't dissolve. If you tried to drink it, you would end up with a whole lot of sticky goo in your mouth.

      • +2

        Are you speaking from experience?

      • That looks safer… I'm glad… :)

  • +1

    how well can this handle repeated friction/rubbing and how easily can it be cleaned over and over again?

    • This plastic is pretty similar to polyethylene/polypropylene. It's quite strong, as long as you keep it away from heat and sunlight.

      • sweet, DIY heaven.

  • +4

    warning: at 63 degrees it will crystallize into a dildo shape and there's no way back

    • +2

      *or a flesh light depending on the summoner's gender/sexuality

    • That might crystallize into a dildo shape if the "recipient" is your rectum, or something similar.

  • +2

    Rep - are you going to restock the 1kg variant? was gonna grab 2kg for an arts lesson next week.

    • was going to ask the same, any 1kg left?

    • Yes, please bring back the 1kg deal

    • Sorry - can't offer any more 1 kilo. We lose money at this price and there's only so much I can afford!

  • Why are you out of the 1 kg?

  • Can I mould it into a gun?

    • Would melt after the first shot…

  • Yes

  • +2

    Now to wait for the shocking news report on knives being molded on planes using polymorph.

  • Does this make a fun toy for kids? (ages 10-12 ish).

    It reminds me of that magnetic sand.

    • Toy? No. Craft activity? Depends on their ability. Just keep in mind that 62 degrees is bearable, but younger hands are going to find it a bit of a shock. When you remove the melted pellets from the water using a fork, it's important to shake off any water droplets, because coming into contact with water at that temperature, at that age, will hurt. I allowed my 6-year-old to try it and he found it a bit hot, but after letting it cool for a short while, he was able to handle it okay. Our 10-year-old can form basic shapes like a snake or a ladybug.

    Ugh, the Ebay page calls it a Polymorph. As a watcher of Red Dwarf, this makes me concerned.
