Product Description
EpoxAcast™ 690
EpoxAcast™ 690 is an UV resistant clear casting epoxy resins suitable for a variety of industrial and art related projects requiring a rigid, clear finished casting. EpoxAcast™ 690 features a very low viscosity for easy mixing and minimal bubble entrapment. Castings cure with negligible shrinkage and are very hard and strong. Resin can be colored with UVO™ or IGNITE™ colorants. Cast Magic™ and Glow Worm™ powders can also be added to create amazing casting effects.
TASK™ 9
TASK™ 9 Colormatch is a high performance urethane casting resin that features very high compressive strength and tensile strength. TASK™ 9 is clear amber, which makes this plastic very easy to color using SO-Strong™ or IGNITE™ colorants. With a mix ratio of 1A:1B by volume, TASK™ 9 is easy to use and a low mixed viscosity (300 cps) ensures minimal bubble entrapment. Pot life is 7 minutes and cure time is about 60 minutes (depending on mass).
