FAQs

  • Q1. What is the difference between HydroTec® Paintballs and Regular Gelatin Paintballs?

    There are three main differences between HydroTec® Paintballs and other paintballs. The shell, fill and machine are very different. All other paintballs are made with shells consisting of animal based Gelatin (usually pigskin) a fill that is made up of primarily Poly Ethanol Glycol (PEG) and a soft gel encapsulation machine which is not very precise. HydroTec® shells are organic and made from a corn base, the fill is made up of 98% water and the machine is an extrusion machine that is highly efficient and precise.

    Bottom line is HydroTec® paintballs are better for the environment, clean up easier, and have a more consistent quality.
