A casting epoxy resin formulated with highly translucent components and excellent UV stability. It has been developed for the production of foundry and decorative objects requiring a high-quality finish, such as bottle prototypes, jewelry, river tables, furniture, etc.
working thickness 0.1 to 10cm
This encapsulating resin is best used as a casting resin without reinforcement due to its very light color and crack-free curing. Unlike polyester casting resins, epoxy resin cures without shrinkage (<2%), providing a glossy, non-stick surface. Organic and inorganic materials, as well as metals, are suitable for encapsulation. Objects must be dry and non-porous (there is a risk of bubbles if air is trapped within the objects).
The very low reactivity allows for pouring a high layer thickness without color change.
The resin has a high clarity and does not yellow.
Dries at room temperature.
Very easy mixing and excellent degassing.
Very good UV resistance
Almost odorless.
Excellent resistance to physical and thermal shocks .
Mixing ratio :
100:45 by weight. (100g of resin to 45g of hardener)
100:50 by volume. (100ml of resin to 50ml of hardener)
Implementation:
- Ambient temperature is the essential parameter for a successful casting . There is a causal relationship between ambient temperature (AT), the volume of resin poured, and the curing time. Rapid curing due to high ambient temperature creates a high exothermic reaction, and the cured resin may turn yellow with marks on the surface.
- In surface pouring on thin layers (1 to 5 mm), at ambient temperature (25 – 30 °C) is recommended to accelerate hardening and obtain the best properties.
- The mixture should be mixed manually or with a mixer. Be careful not to incorporate too much air during mixing. Emulsification must be avoided.
- After the initial mixing in one bucket, pour the product into a second bucket to complete the mixing. Thoroughly scrape the sides of the mixing bucket. Allow the mixture to de-air for at least 10 minutes before pouring; otherwise, do
a vacuum casting.
Due to the product's long pot life and low viscosity, the casting frame must be completely airtight. The cured resin does not adhere to the brown packing tape, which can be used for corners and any other areas where the resin should not stick to the substrate.
- Liquid or paste wax can also be used to prevent sticking to models or supports. Wood or porous surfaces of models should be transform: scaleX(0.954158);" role="presentation" dir="ltr">treated with a suitable pore filler. Fast-setting epoxy or varnish can be used before pouring to protect porous surfaces. Allow them to cure thoroughly before pouring the resin.
- After pouring and an appropriate waiting time, any remaining bubbles can easily be removed with a hot air gun (sweep the surface at a distance of 15-20 cm).
- Light sanding and varnishing are almost always necessary to achieve the desired glossy, flat finish. Use appropriate tools to avoid overheating the resin during sanding. Wet sanding is recommended.
- Polishing compound on a pad gives the best finish. Do not overheat the pouring layer to avoid marks.
Calculate the quantity needed:
Width x Height x Length divided by 1000.
Ex: 10cm x 5cm x 100cm = 5000 / 1000 = 5 Liters
