SIMBODIES® Grime FX Coal Powder – Special Effects Weathering Powder 20g

Overview

Add authentic environmental distress and soot texturing to your medical simulations with the SIMBODIES® Grime FX Coal Powder. Formulated in collaboration with industry staple Ben Nye®, this professional-grade weathering powder replicates the deep, matte black residue left by structure fires, tactical explosions, and industrial mechanics.

Packaged in a highly efficient 20g (0.7 oz) shaker container, this finely milled powder is an essential component of any moulage kit, allowing technicians to rapidly break down pristine uniforms, skin, and high-fidelity silicone assets.

Key Features & Benefits

• Realistic Carbon/Soot Finish: Provides an ultra-matte, ash-black coloration that mirrors real charcoal residue without the reflective properties of typical cosmetics.

• Finely Milled Consistency: Easily dusted across surfaces to build up realistic texturing—from light atmospheric dustings to dense, caked-on soot layers.

• Silicone & Asset Friendly: Chemically optimised for premium platinum silicone SIMBODIES® Manikins and overlays. It clings effectively during active training scenarios but washes clear post-drill without staining or discolouring the underlying material.

• Skin Safe & Non-Toxic: Manufactured to professional cosmetic standards, ensuring safe, non-irritating application directly onto live standard patients or roleplayers.

Advanced Trauma Simulation Applications

Indicating Airway and Burn Complexity: In emergency triage, the presence of facial soot and charcoal powder around a casualty's nose or mouth serves as a vital clinical warning sign. It signals potential inhalation injuries and upcoming airway compromise, prompting trainees to prioritize immediate respiratory assessments over secondary injuries.

• Explosion & IED Blast Contamination: Dust over clothes, face, and extremities to simulate blast debris or flash burn exposure during tactical combat exercises.

• Structural Fire Casualties: Replicates the dense soot patterns found on victims rescued from confined, burning spaces, testing the trainee's ability to spot respiratory warning signs.

• Mechanical & Friction Grease: Mix with a small amount of clear gel or water to simulate engine grime, vehicular grease, or heavy industrial machinery accidents.
