Foamlatex is a lightweight, soft form of latex which is used in masks and facial prosthetic s to change a person s outward appearance. The Wizard of Oz 1939 film The Wizard of Oz was one of the first films to make extensive use of foamlatex prosthetics in the 1930s. ref Miller, Ron. Special Effects An Introduction to Movie Magic. Twenty First Century Books, 2006. ref Since then is has been a staple of film, television, and stage productions, as well as finding use in a number of other fields. To create foamlatex, a liquid latex base is mixed with various additives and whipped into a foam , then poured or injected into a mold and baked in an oven to cure. The main components of foamlatex are the latex base, a foaming agent to help it whip into a froth , a gelling agent to convert the liquid foam into a gel , and a curing agent to turn the gelled foamlatex into a solid when baked . A number of additional additives can also be added depending on the required use of the foam. ref Drexler, Donna. The FoamLatex Survival Guide. Burman Industries, 1996. ref Foamlatex has also seen heavy use in the field of stop motion animation, being used to form the skin and muscles of many puppets.
