DAS Air-Dried Clay – Terracotta

Price from EUR 3,48

DAS terracotta air-drying clay is a high-performance medium designed for the professional fabrication of sculptures, bas-reliefs, and mosaics. Its superior adhesion properties make it an excellent choice for resurfacing or transforming existing structures made of glass, timber, or metal. The clay provides an intuitive handling experience, curing to a durable finish that serves as a perfect substrate for further decoration.

Technical Specifications & Handling:

Curing: Self-hardening via air exposure, removing the need for kiln firing. Drying intervals are dependent on the specific volume and thickness of the work.
Composition: Formulated from natural substances; gluten-free and dermatologically tested for professional safety standards.
Surface Finishing: Features a classic terracotta hue, which can be further enhanced with professional paints or markers once fully cured.
Maintenance: Non-staining formula; easily removed from skin and most industrial textiles through standard machine washing.
Available Units: Supplied in 0.5 kg and 1 kg formats.

Description

Standard air-drying clay is inherently unsuitable for permanent outdoor installation, as prolonged exposure to moisture will eventually compromise its structural integrity and cause the material to crumble. However, for projects requiring enhanced durability or temporary outdoor placement, the surface can be treated with DAS VerniDas Professional (75 ml). This protective lacquer creates a water-repellent barrier, significantly extending the lifespan of the material in humid or external environments.
