- 2:1 mixing ratio
- Suitable for paintings
RESION UV Resin Art Epoxy MV is an epoxy resin with a medium viscosity. This versatile epoxy is highly suitable for a wide range of Resin Art applications, particularly for coating and creating paintings and other artwork on all types of substrates. The epoxy resin is very easy to use with a 2:1 mixing ratio, is crystal clear and contains built-in UV stabilisers. If you are 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.
- UV-stabilised.
- Adheres to almost all substrates (such as wood, concrete and plastics).
- Easy to use thanks to the 2:1 mixing ratio.
- Medium viscosity (thicker flow).
- Odourless.
Epoxy with medium viscosity
This Resin Art epoxy has a medium viscosity (thickness). This means the epoxy flows relatively thickly, making it highly suitable for creating Resin Art paintings. Due to its medium viscosity, pigments settle more slowly in the epoxy. This medium-viscosity Art Epoxy is therefore also very suitable for use with alcohol inks (such as Piñata). You can influence the placement of pigments using a hairdryer or heat gun.
Directions for use
Working with RESION Art Epoxy is very straightforward if you follow these steps:
- Accurately weigh the base component (A) and hardener (B) according to the mixing ratio stated on the packaging (2 parts resin to 1 part hardener by weight).
- Mix the base and hardener thoroughly for 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing container well.
- If desired, add pigments to colour the resin.
- Then apply the epoxy to the chosen substrate (processing time is 30-60 minutes at 20℃).
- Allow the Art Epoxy to cure for approximately 12-18 hours until it is handleable (note: full curing takes 3-5 days).

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.
- 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
