Product Description
EpoxAcast™ 655 + HT Hardener
EpoxAcast™ 655 (formerly Metalset™ A-30) is a versatile aluminum filled castable epoxy resin that is very hard and strong. It is dimensionally stable, even when mass cast up to 512 in³ / 8,390 cm³. Maximum heat resistance is achieved using HT HIGH TEMP hardener (up to 225°F/108°C).
Smooth-Cast™ 300Q
Smooth-Cast™ 300Q liquid plastic is a quick setting, ultra-low viscosity casting resin that yield castings that are bright white and virtually bubble free. Vacuum degassing is not necessary. It offer the convenience of a 1A:1B by volume or 100A:90B by weight mix ratio.
This resin readily accept fillers (such as URE-FIL™ 3 from Smooth-On) and can be colored with SO-Strong™ or Ignite™ color tints (Smooth-Cast™ 325 series accepts pigments better than the Smooth Cast™ 300 series). Fully cured castings are tough, durable, machinable and paintable. It resists moisture and mild solvents. Applications for Smooth-Cast™ 300Q Liquid Plastics include reproducing small to medium size sculptures, casting into alginate molds, making prototype models, special effect props and decorative jewelry.
Those interested in making roto cast pieces should refer to the Smooth-Cast™ 65D technical bulletin.
