Hardener for Fluid epoxy resin

Product detailed description

Epoxy resin Fluid is a perfectly transparent crystal resin for creating in the style of Resin Art. It has an excellent UV filter and a higher density, which makes it magical when blending colors. After hardening, it has a solid, mirror-glossy and completely smooth surface. It has high protection against air humidity during the curing process.

It is fully transparent and can be used for layers of approx. 15 mm. In the case of higher castings, we recommend casting it in layers, after partial or complete hardening of the lower layer. It can be colored and pigmented well. It hardens in approx. 24-36 hours, is easy to work with and can be polished. It has excellent mechanical properties, high strength and cohesion.

You can use this resin on products that will be in contact with food. According to the opinion of the State Health Institute, it is possible to use products made from this resin for contact with dry and moist foods, excluding contact with fats. Use at room temperature and below.

Specifications

The maximum thickness of the layer is approx. 15 mm.
After curing, it has a fully transparent, solid and mirror-like surface.
It is UV stable and resistant to moisture from the air (reduces the formation of water stains, loss of gloss and yellowing).
It is suitable for transparent and colored castings, it is well colored with dyes and pigments from our offer.
Processing time 40-50 minutes (200 g, 23 °C).
The curing time for demolding is 24-36 hours (depending on the ambient temperature and the amount of cast material). The final curing and completion of all bonds in the resin will take place in 10-14 days, at which time the resin can be sanded or objects placed on it (valid for curing at a constant temperature of 20 - 25 °C).
It is self-leveling and well fluid.
It is solvent-free, contains no phenolic substances and is practically odorless.
It can be used for pouring all types of materials (wood, concrete, glass, etc.).
Viscosity: approx. 700–800 mPa.s. (resin); 250–300 mPa.s. (hardener).
The resulting hardness is 70 Shore D.
Processing and application

First, mix both components in a mass mixing ratio of 100:66. Each component must be thoroughly weighed in grams. First, pour and weigh component A in the required amount into the container (clean and dry), reset the scale to zero and pour and weigh component B in the required amount. To facilitate the calculation of the required weight of component A and B, use our calculation table. Both components are mixed for 3-4 minutes (clockwise and counter-clockwise mixing is alternated, while it is necessary to scrape the material from the walls and bottom of the container as well). After mixing, it is recommended to pour the mixture into another clean and dry container, mix again and then apply.

If the mass is cast into molds, it is advisable to use a silicone mold. In the case of molds made of other materials, it is necessary to use a separator for easy removal from the mold. We do not recommend using glass containers as molds, as they may crack during the curing of the resin. When pouring porous materials (wood, concrete), air bubbles are released into the cast mass, so it is necessary to penetrate these objects. Porous materials can be penetrated with special penetration, or you can paint them with a thin layer of resin and after it hardens, pour such objects into the desired product.

To ensure an optimal consistency and quality result after application, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient temperature of the environment and the substance during mixing (approx. 20 °C). Low temperatures have a significantly negative effect on the final result.

Notice

Observe the processing time, do not work with the finished mixture for more than 40-50 minutes. If this time is not observed, the products may not have the necessary properties (the finished products may be fragile) and the resin may begin to heat up quickly in the mixing vessel in the upper layer (so-called exothermic reaction) and deteriorate.
The resin may become cloudy when stored at temperatures below 20°C. This is a normal phenomenon, before use put the closed bottle of component A in a warm water bath (50-70°C) for 20-30 minutes and the cloudiness will disappear. Prevent water from entering the resin bottle. After removing from the bath, let cool before using.
Do not place hot objects such as tea cups on the finished resin products. The product could be damaged.
Safety measures

We recommend that children under 18, pregnant and lactating women work with epoxy resin only with the use of skin and respiratory protection, and children only under the supervision of an adult.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water. Avoid swallowing or inhaling the material; In case of ingestion or contact with mucous membranes, seek medical attention.
Wash your hands thoroughly after work, especially before eating. Do not smoke, drink or eat while creating the product.
Work in a well-ventilated area with (important!) low humidity (no more than 30-40%).
The temperature must not be lower than 20 °C and higher than 25-27 °C.
Work only with gloves, the resin can cause an allergic reaction on the skin.
We recommend protecting your respiratory tract with a respirator or full face mask.
