EP102 | UV Resin Art Epoxy LV | Basis (A) | 100 gram
UFI: 3EJ0-H0G7-0005-YG1R
RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy LV is an epoxy resin specially developed for Resin Art. Thanks to its convenient 2:1 mixing ratio, it is easy to work with. The resin contains a UV stabiliser, which means it yellows less quickly than standard epoxy resins. This low-viscosity (LV) epoxy is therefore particularly suitable for making jewellery, orgonites, paintings, coasters, and other Resin Art projects on a wide variety of substrates.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Resin Art creator, RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy LV is the ideal choice for all your creative projects!
This low-viscosity epoxy casting resin offers excellent flow characteristics, making it ideal for creating Resin Art jewellery, orgonites, coasters, and paintings. It is also suitable for filling silicone moulds.
At first glance, RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy and RESION UV Epoxy (CAST25) appear very similar. Both resins are transparent, virtually odourless, and suitable for castings up to 2.5 cm. However, there are some important differences.
Resin Art Epoxy has a simple 2:1 mixing ratio, allowing you to get started quickly and easily without complicated calculations. For crystal-clear castings, we recommend RESION UV Epoxy, as this resin offers very high UV resistance and maximum clarity. Resin Art Epoxy LV offers lower UV resistance and is therefore less suitable for long-term clear castings.
| Resin Art Epoxy LV | UV CAST25 | |
| Mixing ratio | 100:50 (2:1) | 100:60 |
| UV resistance | Medium | Very high |
| Viscosity | Low | Low |
| Transparency | High | Very high |
| Odour | Virtually odourless | Virtually odourless |
| Maximum casting thickness | 2.5 cm | 2.5 cm |
In summary: choose RESION Resin Art LV Epoxy for creative projects that require easy mixing, and RESION UV Epoxy (CAST25) when you want a fully transparent and UV-resistant casting.

The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
UV stabilisation helps a material better withstand the effects of sunlight, including yellowing and deterioration of its properties. It slows ageing but does not make a resin or plastic completely resistant to UV exposure. The degree of protection varies by product.
The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.
Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
At this point, the material is generally firm enough to handle carefully, move or remove from a mould. Sanding, heavier loads or extended use may require further curing.
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
Viscosity measures how easily a liquid flows, or how thick it is. Dynamic viscosity is usually expressed in mPa·s (millipascal-seconds), sometimes in cP (centipoise); 1 mPa·s = 1 cP. A lower value usually means a more free-flowing liquid, while a higher value indicates a thicker product. Temperature and test method strongly affect the value. Note that mPa·s is different from MPa, which is used to express mechanical strength.
Heat resistance describes the temperature a material can withstand after correct processing and curing, usually expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). Continuous exposure is different from a brief temperature peak, and mechanical loading may also affect the limit. Heat resistance is not the same as the temperature at which the product can be applied.
Maximum casting thickness is the depth of resin that can be poured in one operation, usually in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm). In overly thick or large casts, heat from the reaction can build up and cause discolouration, cracking or distortion. The limit also depends on total casting volume, mould shape and temperature.
Read the warnings and use appropriate protective equipment before handling the product.
