The material is intended for decorative use such as jewelry, dolls, boxes or vases.

Most polymer clays require strict adherence to recommended times or else the colors may darken. Kato polyclay may be cured for extended times without color change. However, recommended Kato polyclay curing temperature is ranged from 275 to 325 °F (135 to 163 °C) for 10–30 minutes per 1⁄4 in (6.4 mm) of thickness. This polymer clay is also known for its strength after curing.
