casting resin
Our casting resins are unsaturated, styrene-dissolved, cobalt-preaccelerated and light-stabilised polyester resins. They are preferably used for the production of crystal-clear or coloured moulded parts or for embedding promotional gifts. These casting resins cure crystal-clear and can be coloured with colour pastes.
Casting resin
Casting resins are reaction resins. Depending on their properties and chemical composition, they are divided into polyester resins and epoxy resins. Our polyester resin-based casting resin is a synthetic resin for many different applications. After mixing, the two-component system is poured into a mold in liquid form, where it hardens to form a solid body or encapsulates parts. Whether as a protective layer, protective shell, or mold for jewelry, artworks, models, or presentations, the possibilities are endless. Depending on the desired effect, our color pastes can be mixed into the liquid components. This allows you to add color accents, which can also have a practical use in distinguishing between different components.
Technical use
In the electrical engineering sector, casting resin is used as an insulation aid. Casting in epoxy resin is a standard procedure in electronics. It also protects the parts from dust, moisture, and water.
Decorative use
Pouring objects, such as jewelry or insects, and molding figures or models is very popular.
Protection of objects
Casting resin is also used to protect fragile objects during restoration, for example, of wood.
Notes
We recommend that you carry out tests in advance to ensure suitability for your project!
Please observe the information in the technical data sheet.
Storage
Seal opened containers tightly with the original lid. Store in a cool, dry place. Can be stored for at least 1 year under optimal conditions. As the hardener reacts with humidity and carbon dioxide in the air, opened containers should not be left open. - Seal as quickly as possible!
Cleaning of work equipment
Hardened resins can only be cleaned mechanically, for example by sanding! Acetone can be used to remove uncured resin residues from tools, but these must then be allowed to air sufficiently to prevent the cleaner from entering new containers!
Precautions
When working with epoxy resins, the information in the safety data sheet must be observed!
