EPOXY RESINS
Epoxy Resin Overview
Epoxy resin is a two-part system (resin + hardener) that cures into a rigid, durable, and chemically resistant material. Unlike UV resins, it cures slowly at room temperature, making it ideal for deep pours, structural projects, and artistic creations.
Epoxy Resin Types We Provide
We offer specialized epoxy resins for diverse needs:
Standard Epoxy Resin: For adhesives, coatings, and general DIY projects.
Art & Craft Epoxy: Ultra-clear, bubble-free formulas for resin art, jewelry, and tabletops.
Industrial-Grade Epoxy: Heat-/chemical-resistant for flooring, pipelines, and machinery.
UV-Resistant Epoxy: For outdoor use (e.g., garden decor, marine applications).
Epoxy Colors: Custom pigments, mica powders, and additives to create vibrant, metallic, or glow-in-the-dark finishes.
Key Features of Our Epoxy
✅ Strength & Durability: Bonds to wood, metal, concrete, and plastics.
✅ Customizable: Mix with our epoxy colorants for unique designs.
✅ Versatility: Suitable for art, industrial, and household projects.
✅ Eco-Friendly Options: Low-VOC formulas available.
Mixing & Using Epoxy Resin
Step-by-Step Guide:
Mix Ratios: Follow instructions (e.g., 1:1 or 2:1 resin-to-hardener).
Add Colors: Stir in pigments/mica after mixing resin and hardener.
Avoid Bubbles: Stir slowly; use a heat gun or torch to pop bubbles.
Cure Time: 24–72 hours (varies by type).
Pro Tips:
Use silicone molds for easy demolding.
Layer colors for marbled or geode effects.
Seal porous surfaces (e.g., wood) before applying epoxy.
Safety Precautions
🧤 Wear PPE: Gloves, goggles, and masks.
🌬️ Ventilate: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a respirator.
🚫 No Skin Contact: Wash immediately if exposed.
🗑️ Disposal: Cure waste fully before discarding as solid trash.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sticky Resin: Incorrect mixing ratios or humidity—remeasure and repour.
Yellowing: Use UV-resistant epoxy for sun-exposed projects.
Bubbles: Pour slowly, warm resin slightly, or use a pressure pot.
Eco-Friendly Practices
Choose Low-VOC: Reduce environmental impact.
Reuse Materials: Clean tools with vinegar or acetone.
Recycle: Check local facilities for cured epoxy disposal.
