There are 3 kinds of PMC
PMC - This is the standard. It is great for molding and easy
to work with. This is because the flaky particles allow a
lot of room for the binder. It also has the highest shrinkage
rate of about 30%.
PMC+ - The particles have sharper edges leaving less space
between the particles making the metal more durable. You can
fire PMC+ at three different temperatures and it fires very
fast and has a shrinkage rate of only 12%.
PMC3 - PMC3 is made with even smaller particles and has even
less space between the particles allowing it to be fused at
an even lower temperature. This also means when firing you
can use other means of heat other than a kiln. The shrinkage
rate is only 12%
