SFX Ice Wax and Glass 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 molds (ideally silicone rubber molds or silicone coated molds), 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.

SFX Shatter Wax is used 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 is made of this material. 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 customized 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.

SFX Gel Wax is for Special Effects and is easily melted and molded 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.

Using wax on set adds consistency to the filming, it’s practical, and eliminates the risk of spillage or melting.
