Discover all the new ways Soft-Shock Mallet DF-SM76 can be utilized on many collision repair jobs. The special non-Newtonian filler can compress and dissipate force, designed to reduce damage to the repair surface area. Apply firm precision taps for “parts fitment negotiating” dashboards, head- or tail-light assemblies, windshield placement, plastic bumper covers, interior or exterior decorative trim, emblems, and GPR/PDR work. With the same mallet in hand, release heavy-handed controlled hits for steel or aluminum body panels, roof rails, alloy wheels, and center caps.
What is Non-Newtonian Fluid?
In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. You may have come across it and didn’t know it. Do you remember in childhood mixing corn starch and water? The mixture is called “oobleck” or “magic mud” and is a perfect example of non-Newtonian fluid. When it was punched or hit it became impenetrable but a soft touch easily breaks the surface.
