Product description
Aqua Cast is now also available as a pre-colored version! Aqua Cast Black is just as environmentally friendly as Eli-Chem's standard Aqua Cast. The difference, however, is that this variant is pre-pigmented with an opaque black colour that has the appearance of a ceramic finish.
What is Aqua Cast?
Aqua Cast is an environmentally friendly casting compound made from powder and polymer that can be easily mixed with water. Through a unique formula, the acrylic polymer additives are fused into one powder. All the properties of a traditional acrylic resin remain the same. Aqua Cast therefore hardens rock hard, is easy to use and cures at lightning speed.
With Aqua Cast you can make great plaster look figurines, coasters, jewellery and many other great items. This product is similar to Acrystal, Porcelain plaster, Acrylic One and Jesmonite.
Benefits of Aqua Cast
- Blackened.
- Environmentally friendly
- Suitable for use in any silicone mould.
- Fireproof.
- Fast curing.
- Can be used to create terrazzo pieces.
Directions for use
Aqua Cast Black is easy to use. To do this, follow the steps below. When working with Aqua Cast, always wear nitrile gloves and protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
- Weigh the desired amount of powder on a (digital) scale.
- Then weigh the correct amount of water according to the mixing ratio (100:25, 100 grams of powder and 25 ml of water).
- Slowly add the powder to the water and mix well for 2-4 minutes until a lump-free mass is obtained.
- Pour the mixture directly into the desired silicone mould and tap/shake the mould to remove any air bubbles.
- Let it harden for 60-90 minutes before removing it from the mould.
- After 1-2 days the Aqua Cast has fully hardened.
Tip: use Hydroflow sealer to protect Aqua Cast castings to prevent staining.

The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- Unlimited shelf life

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.
- 4:1 (by weight)

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.
- 24-48 hours

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 10 minutes (at 22 °C)
