Casting System - Epoxy Resin | HP-E400GB
Casting system, transparent | Epoxy Resin System HP-E400GB
The Epoxy-System E400GB is an unfilled, low-viscosity combination of resin and hardener with a long working time (pot life).
Usable for epoxy casting of medium thickness (up to approx. 10cm* depending on surface, temperature geometries and casting quantity (volume) - further information: technical data sheet).
Usable for epoxy casting of medium thickness (up to approx. 10cm* depending on surface, temperature geometries and casting quantity (volume) - further information: technical data sheet).
Features & Benefits:
-
Excellent flow properties (low-viscosity)
- Cold-hardening, demouldable at room-temperature
- Cause pressure-resistant and impact-resistant (tough) moulds
- Almost colourless, crystal clear curing
- Low-shrinkage potting with tack-free surfaces
- Optimised UV protection
- High-volume potting compound, layer heights of up to 10 cm possible*
-
Foundry patterns, die plates, reproduction patterns
-
Building of medium moulds and castings
-
Encapsulation of decorative elements, rivertables
- Levelling compound / injection resin for structural repairs
- ...
For a better UV resistance, a suitable clear coat (HP-PUR) should be applied. Furthermore our HP-BEL91 UV-Stabilizer can be add to the epoxy resin or clear coat, in order to give a better protection and improve the UV resistance in a long-term.
During the hardening process, energy can be released in the form of heat, hence a cooling/heat exchanging should be provided in order to prevent hot spots.
