RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV
- Medium viscosity
- UV stabilized
- 2:1 mixing ratio
- Suitable for paintings
RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV is an epoxy resin with a medium viscosity. This universal epoxy is very suitable for various resin art applications such as making paintings, somewhat larger moulds and other art on all types of surfaces. This epoxy is of a very high quality and one of the most UV resistant resins on the market. In addition, the epoxy is very easy to process with the 2:1 mixing ratio and the epoxy is crystal clear. If you are looking for a thick epoxy, RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV is the casting resin you are looking for!
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.
UV resistant epoxy
We have extensively tested the UV Resin Art Epoxy for UV stability by testing the resin for a longer period in a special UV cabinet. This way we can guarantee that this epoxy casting resin is very resistant to UV radiation and will therefore not yellow. You do not need a UV stabiliser for this resin! The high UV stability also makes the Art Epoxy ideal for applications that will be exposed to a lot of sunlight, such as paintings, trays and jewellery.
How to use Art Epoxy MV
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 color 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).
