Apparently, there is a material called Isolon...

Recently, let me tell you an interesting story that I learned!

Art made using a material called **Isolon** seems to be gaining attention worldwide, especially in Russia.

Here are flowers made from Isolon.

"Wait?! Isn't that the giant paper flower that was trending a while back? The one made from paper! It's also been used for decorations in clothing stores and cosmetics shops recently! Isn't it just old news?"

I think some people might think that.

But!

According to professionals, flowers made from Isolon and giant paper flowers are said to be completely different.

So, what exactly is the material Isolon?

Isolon is a type of polyethylene.

It can be spelled as isolon or izolon, and some pronounce it as Izo-ron or Ai-zo-ron.

It is currently the best material for insulation, and it also excels as a soundproofing and moisture-proofing material.

Therefore, it was originally an industrial product used in the construction industry (as insulation for house walls) and the manufacturing industry (as insulation for cars).

And now!

Recently, colorful Isolon has emerged to create art by leveraging its properties.

With the rich variety of colors, it has become possible to create flowers and art like this.

Isolon can be shaped freely with heat processing, allowing for the expression of petals and leaves just as desired♡

(Please take a look at around 12 minutes in the video! In this way, heat is applied to the Isolon and processed through heat treatment.)

It is a material that is resistant to heat and cold, and it is also strong against humidity. It can be used outdoors, which was difficult with paper, as it is okay to get wet from rain.

It can be installed on terraces or in theme parks like this. Since it is not affected by weather, it has become much easier to incorporate commercially compared to the previous giant flowers.

(Since it is heat-resistant, it is safe to use lights without causing fires♡)

In the future, there may be botanical gardens and amusement parks featuring flowers made from Isolon.

Just imagining it is exciting and fun♡

It might not be long until it is used for decorations in garden weddings too!

It seems to be gaining attention as a material for cosplay as well...

What surprised me even more is that Isolon is being noticed as a material for creating cosplay costumes.

With its smooth texture and the ability to change shape freely, it seems suitable for recreating anime character costumes!

For example, here are wings made from Isolon.

"I see! It does seem perfect for cosplay costumes!" you might think.

It may also be used for special effects makeup and costumes in Hollywood movies.

It seems that the day when the world becomes more fun with Isolon is coming soon♡

The new material Isolon is attracting attention in the event and costume markets. It will surely make our lives even more exciting and fun♡

I look forward to seeing what developments it will achieve from now on!♡
