Surf Clear Epoxy Resin – Bio Based (Slow)

Jacob Phuti Moutlana — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 12:30:41 +0000

Bio-based, clear, UV stable epoxy for thin castings, surface coatings and laminating. The resin has a light purple appearance. This system is easily pigmented with our range of epoxy pigments for translucent, opaque and luminous effects. Surf Clear has been designed as a coating resin or thin casting resin. It cures to a high gloss, level surface. It is not suitable for thick casting as it will exotherm. UV Stability – This product will resist yellowing and is water resistant, however, it does not provide 100% UV protection and is not suitable for permanent, outdoor exposure. UV protection can be improved by overcoating with protective urethane paint such as TopClear or UV resistant wax polish. Curing Time – Depends on the ambient temperature but around 2hrs to gel. Allow at least 24hrs before demoulding or attempting to do any finishing work on the resin. The epoxy will take about 30 days to reach full hardness although this can be accelerated with a post cure of 16 h @ 60 °. Kit – Each kit contains a bottle of resin and a bottle of hardener which are mixed together at 100:41 parts by weight or 2-parts resin to 1-part hardener by volume.
Coverage: 909 millilitres per 1 kg with 1 liter covering 1 square meter to 1mm of thickness

NOTE: that when used with non-white backgrounds, the OH additive can modify the colour perception (creating a blue effect with carbon or pink effect with wood or linen fabrics).

318B Laminating Epoxy System

Strato Konstas — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 09:09:36 +0000

Description

A solvent free, slightly thixotropic, toughened epoxy system for composite hand laminations, bonding various substrates, casting/ encapsulating/ coating; with exceptionally high chemical resistance, low vapour transmission properties, good elongation and toughness. Can be filled with fillers to change the viscosity and or properties.

Uses

A laminating system for composites
Manufacturing composite fuel tanks (see resistance table below)
A vapour barrier coating for insulation
A liquid bonding epoxy adhesive
Casting/ encapsulating of electronic components/ boxes
Lining of water/ fuel/ oil/ acid tanks (typically with glass fabrics)
Laminating of polystyrene blocks and or wood with fibreglass

Mixing (resin: hardener)

The system should be mixed at the following ratios:

Volume 100:50
Weight 100:44

The resin and hardener components must be measured out accurately. Measurement by weight using an electronic scale is recommended. Mix the two components thoroughly, paying attention to the sides and bottom of the container. Do not mix more than can be used within the working time of the system

Delivery: 5 – 7 Business days

Sicomin SR GreenPoxy 33 / SD 477x

Strato Konstas — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 10:43:07 +0000

Bio-based general-purpose laminating and casting epoxy. The slow casting 4771 and 770 hardeners are clear while the fast 4775 and 4777 hardeners are yellow-brown. Typically used for sealing wood with the fast hardener and medium to thick castings with the slow hardeners. UV Stability – This epoxy is not UV stable and must be pigmented to conceal UV yellowing. Curing time – The various hardeners can be blended to change gel times. SD4771 hardener is touch dry in 11 hours (30°C) and SD4770 in 15 hours (30°C). Kit – Each kit contains a bottle of resin and a bottle of hardener which are mixed together at 100:27 part by weight or various ratios by volume as per the data sheet.
Coverage: 909 millilitres per 1 kg with 1 liter covering 1 square meter to 1mm of thickness

Greencast 160 Epoxy Resin + SD7160 Slow Hardener – UV Stable Clear

Strato Konstas — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 11:10:42 +0000

Bio-based, clear, UV stable epoxy for thick castings using the SD7160 mega slow hardener. The resin has a light blue appearance. This system is easily pigmented with our range of epoxy pigments for translucent, opaque and luminous effects. This product has been designed as a casting resin, not a coating resin. The open surface typically needs to be flatted and polished to achieve a perfectly flat, glossy finish. The open surface can also be coated with Surf Clear to produce a high gloss, flat finish. UV Stability – This product will resist yellowing and is water resistant, however, it does not provide 100% UV protection and is not suitable for permanent, outdoor exposure. UV protection can be improved by overcoating with protective urethane paint such as TopClear or UV resistant wax polish. Curing Time – Depends on the ambient temperature but around 48hrs to touch-dry, but longer in thin castings. Allow at least 72hrs before demoulding or attempting to do any finishing work on the resin. The epoxy will take about 30 days to reach full hardness although this can be accelerated with a post cure of 24hr @ 40 to 60°C. Kit – Each kit contains a bottle of resin and a bottle of hardener which are mixed together at 100:42 parts by weight or 2- parts resin to 1-part hardener by volume.
Coverage: 885 millilitres per 1 kg with 1 liter covering 1 square meter to 1mm of thickness

Properties

Very low reactivity allowing high thicknesses up to 10 cm at 20 °C.
High clarity polymer, colourless and with good brightness.
Room temperature curing
Almost odourless.
2:1 ratio and very easy mixing.
Excellent degassing.
Excellent impact and thermal shock resistance.
Good UV resistance

Delivery: 1 – 5 Business days
