Eli-Chem Resins BioCast Eco Artwork Resin 500g

Mixing

Mixing Ratio: By Volume: 100 parts resin to 100 parts hardener. By Weight: 100 parts resin to 90 parts hardener. The mixing ratio must be accurately followed. It is not possible to change the ratio. This would result in lower mechanical properties and the resin not drying properly. The mixture must be thoroughly stirred to ensure full homogeneity. Epoxy systems tend to heat up much faster in a pot than as a thin film. Mix only the necessary amount usable within the pot life. Mix until it is a uniform colour & consistency (usually 3-4 mins).

Application

Apply by hand pouring or brush/roller. The resin can be tinted any colour with the addition of polymer pigments available in all solid and translucent colours. Ensure your piece is perfectly flat and level, otherwise the resin will run to the lowest point and pool in the centre, leaving too little resin at the corners. On large canvas paintings / pictures you should tighten the canvas as much as possible or place a board underneath to support it uniformly.+

Adding inks/paints/mica powder/glitter to epoxy resin will change its properties. If you use alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles, as alcohol is flammable.

Health & Safety

Although our resins are formulated with the most modern and safest epoxy chemicals available, all epoxy resins are chemicals and should be managed and handled with proactive safety hygiene and responsible care.

• Always wear nitrile gloves (or use a specialist resin barrier cream)
• Wear a respirator when sanding partially cured resin
• It is advisable to work in a well ventilated room
• We advise the use of safety goggles
• Avoid skin contact (if resin gets on skin wash with plenty of soap & water)
• DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while working
• In case of eye contamination wash with plenty of water for 15 minutes and consult medical advice immediately
• Acute Tox. 4: H302; Aquatic Chronic 3: H412; Skin Corr. 1A: H314; Skin Sens. 1A: H317
