RESION epoxy casting resin
At a glance
- For castings up to 2.5 cm
- Not UV resistant
- Mixing ratio: 100:43
Looking to buy RESION Epoxy Casting Resin? Then you’ve come to the right place at Polyestershoppen.com. This RESION Epoxy Casting Resin is our affordable entry-level option. It is ideal if you are looking for a cost-effective epoxy resin for transparent castings, where high UV resistance is not a requirement. As the resin does not contain a UV stabiliser, it is less transparent and less resistant to discolouration than our premium epoxy resin systems.
This casting epoxy is highly suitable for encapsulating objects (such as coins or decorative items), creating a thick, glass-like layer on smaller surfaces such as paintings, or making castings in silicone moulds. With epoxy pigment paste, mica powder or other pigments, you can easily add a unique effect to your casting.

Applications of RESION Epoxy Casting Resin
RESION Epoxy Casting Resin consists of an epoxy resin and a hardener. Before use, both components must be accurately mixed in the correct ratio of 100:60. We recommend using a digital scale, a mixing spatula and a mixing cup for the best results. Once mixed, the casting resin is safe and pleasant to work with, as it is solvent-free and has little to no odour. Objects can be encapsulated in layers up to 3 cm thick. The resin self-levels, adheres to almost all substrates and can be poured in multiple layers.

-
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)
-
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.
- Up to 50 degrees celcius
-
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.

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.
- 100:60 (by weight)
-
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)
-
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.
- 12 months
-
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.
- Approximately 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
