Casting compounds: plaster, cement, ceramic compounds

The classic casting compounds used in sculpture include plaster and cement . Cast plaster sculptures can be worked and moulded very well after casting. When casting stone or concrete with cement and aggregates, you can also create sculptures for outdoor use.

The ceramic casting compounds Artelin and Artestone from ARTIDEE are particularly easy to work with and are also solvent-free, toxicologically and physiologically harmless. This means they can also be used very well in educational or therapeutic contexts.

Support moulds & substructure

For example, plaster can be used to produce support moulds for flexible casting moulds. Very stable support moulds, which are much lighter than plaster moulds, especially for large moulds, can be made from epoxy casting resin with added fibre – they can even be screwed together.

Don't forget the release agent!

Release agents are used during moulding to protect the original object or the starting material. They prevent the „model and moulding compound or mould (e.g. silicone mould) and casting compound or different mould parts from sticking together. This means that the casting mould is also protected from damage by the casting material. Depending on the material of the model and the moulding compound as well as the casting mould and the casting compound, use different release agents.
