Q&A

• How are paintballs filled and sealed?

  Paintballs are filled and sealed in two half shells, then dried using a conveyor, tumble dryer, and bakery-style rack to maintain their shape and texture.

• What is the process of molding the gel into paintball shells?

  Vats of gel and fill are used to feed a capsulation machine, which spreads out the gel onto a cool drum. A continuous gel sheet is molded into a ball shell using a specialized machine with half-circle pockets.

• What is polyethylene glycol used for?

  Polyethylene glycol, found in cough syrup, is used as the paintball fill, and it is dyed using a similar method to the coloring of the paint. It is an inert liquid.
