Epoxy Casting Resin Kit 1350g water-clear

This epoxy casting resin set, consisting of the resin and the hardener W300, is perfect for clear and highly transparent casting applications. It is nearly water-clear and offers good UV resistance, making it ideal for use in demanding projects where a clear, bubble-free surface is desired. The resin cures to a hard, polishable surface characterized by good impact resistance. The casting system exhibits minimal shrinkage and is suitable for both thin layers and castings with a layer thickness of up to 2 cm. Thanks to the very long pot life, the resin can be processed comfortably and is flexibly applicable, for example in jewelry making, art, or model building. It can also be modified with various fillers and pigments, further emphasizing its versatility. When processing, you should ensure that the mixing ratio of 100:35 by weight is adhered to exactly to achieve optimal results.

Recommended Accessories:

Application Examples:

Ideal for creating jewelry pieces with clear, bubble-free surfaces.
Used in model building, especially for dioramas and small objects.
Perfect for wood finishing and coatings in handicrafts.
Suitable for building aquarium and terrarium landscapes.
Used in fine art painting for castable artworks and sculptures.

Processing:

To achieve the best results, resin and hardener should be measured by weight. (The mixing ratio by weight differs from the mixing ratio by volume because resin and hardener have different densities.) After mixing the two components, the casting resin should be processed as quickly as possible to avoid an unwanted exothermic reaction in the mixing container – especially important when processing larger quantities.

The heat generated during curing (exothermy) limits both the maximum castable amount and the layer thickness in one operation. The higher the temperature, layer thickness, or volume, the shorter the processing or curing time will be. If a critical limit is exceeded, the resin system heats up very quickly, and unwanted reactions can occur:

The casting discolors, partially or completely, from light yellow to dark brown, cracks may form, shrinkage increases, and the surface becomes uneven and wavy. In the worst case, the casting can partially or completely "boil," resulting in temperatures above 100°C.

Layer thicknesses of up to 5 cm are possible with small volumes of about 500 ml, and layers of 1-2 cm with large volumes up to approximately 30 liters.

At temperatures above 25°C, we strongly advise against casting larger layer thicknesses and/or larger volumes in one operation.
