Prosthetic Encapsulants

Encapsulating a silicone prosthetic involves coating the silicone with thin layers of material such as liquid plastic. This process is crucial for achieving realistic and durable prosthetic applications, whether for special effects in film and theater or for medical prosthetics.

Key Benefits

Seamless Edges: Encapsulation provides ultra-thin edges that blend naturally into the skin, avoiding thick, artificial-looking borders.
Easy Blending and Dissolving: Encapsulated prosthetics can be dissolved at the edges using acetone or alcohol, allowing for seamless integration with the wearer's skin.
Improved Paintability: The encapsulated surface absorbs and holds paints, airbrush inks, or alcohol-activated makeup better than raw silicone.
Controlled Texture and Flexibility: Adjust the softness and flexibility of the outer layer to match the desired skin texture and durability.
Enhanced Durability and Comfort: Proper encapsulation makes prosthetics more resistant to tearing and more comfortable for long-term wear.
Single-Use or Reusable Options: Choose between thin-edged, single-use prosthetics for SFX makeup or thicker, reusable pieces for medical applications.
