UltraCast XT Resin
At a glance
- High temperature resistance
- Transparent and UV stable
- For tables, kitchen worktops etc.
Product description
UltraCast XT Epoxy Resin is the ideal casting resin for coating for example, table tops, bar tops, counters or kitchen blades but can also be used for casting of coasters, resin-art or a coin floor. Characteristic of this epoxy resin is its high temperature resistance (70-75ºC) and the transparent end result.
Benefits of UltraCast XT Epoxy resin
- Crytal clear.
- UV stable.
- High temperature resistance up to 75°C.
- Low odour.
- Easy to use.
- Non-flammable.
- Meets ASTM D-4236 (toxic free).
Processing
UltraCast XT is easy to process by carefully mixing the two components in a 2:1 mixing ratio. The epoxy has a long processing time of approx. 90 minutes, while curing is relatively fast. This allows you to quickly finish the surface.
Please note: adding colour pigments or other additives can negatively affect the temperature resistance of the epoxy. Due to the long processing time, UltraCast XT is sensitive to amine blush (a waxy layer on the surface) under certain conditions. This risk is greater in high humidity, low ambient temperatures (15°C or lower) and draughty or windy conditions, such as with air conditioning. To prevent this effect, we recommend preheating the resin component (component A) slightly before mixing. Also ensure a stable work space with a constant temperature and humidity during curing.
Applications
Ultracast XT Epoxy casting resin is suitable for coating such items as:
- Bar tops (bar top epoxy).
- Kitchen blades.
- Table tops.
- Coasters.
- Casting of works of art.

Product properties
The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
- Article number

-
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.
- More than 45 minutes
-
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.
- 2:1 (by weight)
-
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.
- 12 hours
-
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.
- 7-10 days

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.
- 70 to 75 °C
