Polyurethane foam is so highly popular with the film and theater industry that it is known in the business as prop foam. There is practically no limit to its use in the production of realistic looking props and scenery. Additional benefits are that it can be shaped and molded, cures in a few minutes and it's light as a feather to move around.

The texture of prop foam once it's dry is such that it can be finished to give just about any effect. From an aged stone wall, to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, to an old mossy log or even a monster. With a little imagination and a lot of artistic license, prop foam can be almost anything you want it to be.

The Many Virtues of Prop Foam

Because it expands so much when it's mixed, prop foam takes little space to store. What's more it is virtually an instant medium. It can be sprayed in a minute, and within half an hour it will have cured enough for artists to begin transforming it into its final manifestation. It can be gouged, cut, sliced and painted in any manner required.

Another benefit of prop foam is that incredibly lifelike, complex scenes can be created at minimal expense. Without moving the whole crew from one country to another, whole new locations can be created. No wonder movie people get so excited about prop foam!
