In many movies you have seen windows being jumped through, bottles being smashed on heads, all sort of glass and ice props being destroyed on set.
Many are made with our Shatter Wax, a clear, ice-like material designed to resemble ice and glass for special effects and prop manufacture. Shatter wax is hard/very brittle for shattering effects and can be customiezed to achieve the desired hardness.

If the shattering effect is less important than consistency (e.g. you need ice elements but real ice is not an option as it melts), please have a look at our SFX Ice Wax and Glass Wax.

Our Gel Wax for Special Effects is easily melted and moulded clear.

You’ll be able to create impressive props, including body parts, long term food displays, ice cubes, etc. This is due to our wax being a dimensionally stable, jelly/gel-like material. Sometimes used instead of silicone rubber, Gel Wax is a specially formulated medium for all those special effects were you need a substance resembling jelly. Using wax on set adds consistency to the filming, it’s practical, and eliminates the risk of spillage or melting.

Format: Block

When the winter is coming… a lot of ice is needed on set!

Our Special Effects Ice Wax has been used in many of the blockbuster movies and series you have seen recently. Ice Wax can be used to build ice sculptures and ice structures that, crucially, don’t melt. You have seen our (transparent) product used for icicles, ice altars, frozen lakes. Our wax is used by artists, SFX specialists, studios and companies around the world because of it’s quality and safety on stage or set.
This wax can be heated and hand poured when molten. Used with moulds (ideally silicone rubber moulds or silicone coated moulds), our Ice Wax can be used to create glass-like items and theatrical glass structures. You can even create bottles, jars, glass sheets.

Props and items made with our Ice Wax and Glass Wax are being safe to break or shatter if needed, although out SFX Shatter Wax is specifically designed for shattering on set. Please get in touch to discuss specific requirements.
