FOSSHAPE-400

Some of the benefits of FOSSHAPE ®:
It does not fray, is extremely light, porous and breathable after stiffening. It is resistant to mold and water damage.
FOSSHAPE ® can be molded using dry or wet heat. It has to be heated to about 200 ° F (or 90 ° C). The use of steam is recommended although you can also use an industrial hot air gun.
When you begin to heat the fabric, slowly bring the heat source towards the fabric and use a waving motion to warm the entire area slowly and evenly. This will prevent the fabric from heating too fast and reducing it unevenly.
After activation, FOSSHAPE ® can be reduced by up to 30%. The 600 variety is 6.5 mm thick, is the thickest variety and creates a much stiffer, stronger, but less flexible base.
We offer FOSSHAPE 300 AND FOSSHAPE 600.
In headwear, FOSSHAPE ® is a superbly effective blocking material, used as a substitute for BUCKRAM. It is superior to BUCKRAM for many reasons, since it does not require another chemical for treatment or stiffening. FOSSHAPE ® only requires heat to block and harden, and can acquire any shape. It is also much more durable and water resistant.

Create a strong but breathable structure for a hat.
