RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV
At a glance
- Medium viscosity
- UV stabilised
- 2:1 mixing ratio
- Suitable for paintings
RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV is a medium-viscosity epoxy resin. This versatile epoxy is highly suitable for various resin art applications—especially for coating and creating paintings and other artwork on all types of surfaces. The resin is very easy to work with, using a 2:1 mixing ratio. It cures crystal clear and contains built-in UV stabilizers. If you’re looking for a thicker epoxy, RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV is the casting resin you need!
Benefits of Resin Art Epoxy MV
- High quality transparent epoxy.
- Very high UV resistance.
- Adheres to almost all surfaces (such as wood, concrete and plastics).
- Easy to use due to the 2:1 mixing ratio.
- Medium viscosity (thick slurry).
- Odourless.
Medium viscosity epoxy
This resin art epoxy has a medium viscosity. This means that the epoxy resin flows quite thick, which makes the resin very suitable for making resin art paintings. Due to the medium viscosity of this casting resin, pigments sink less quickly into the epoxy. The medium viscous Art Epoxy is therefore also very suitable if you are going to work with alcohol inks (such as Piñata). You can influence the placement of the pigments with a hair dryer or heat gun.
Directions for use
Using RESION Art Epoxy is very simple if you follow the following steps:
- Weigh the base component (A) and the hardener (B) well according to the mixing ratio stated on the packaging (2 parts by weight of resin to 1 part by weight of hardener).
- Mix the base and hardener thoroughly for 3 minutes. Also scrape well along the side and bottom of the mixing cup!
- If desired, add pigments to colour the resin.
- Then apply the epoxy to the surface you will use (the pot life is 30-60 minutes at 20℃).
- After application, allow the Art Epoxy to cure for approximately 12-18 hours before it is manageable (note: after 3-5 days the epoxy will not be fully cured).
Note: for outdoor applications, we recommend finishing the epoxy with a clear DD Paint.

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.
- 2:1 (by weight)

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.
- Yes

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.
- Approximately 30-60 minutes (at 20 °C)
-
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.
- 12 °C
-
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.
- 12-18 hours (20 °C)
-
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.
- 2-2.5 cm
-
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.
- 6-12 hours (20 °C)
-
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.
- 3-5 days

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.
- Medium (approximately 5.000 mPa·s)
-
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.
- 40 to 45 °C
