Applications Universal epoxy casting resin fast
- Gluing objects
- Closing objects as protection from the elements
- Production of very or particularly light parts, such as the processing of glass fabric
- Production and processing of carbon fiber (carbon), aramid fabrics
- Pouring objects with a thin layer for protection
- Production of glass or carbon laminates or molds is required
Advantages Universal epoxy casting resin fast UV
- UV stable
- Fast curing
- Processing height 1 – 5 mm
- Excellent self-venting ability
- Mixing ratio by weight 100:50 or 2:1
- Crystal clear (highly transparent)
Applying color in casting resin
If you want to apply a nice color instead of the standard transparent casting resin, there is plenty of choice! We have clear (transparent), metallic and RAL pigments available. In addition, the ready-made combinations such as the Earth-collection and Sea-collection .

Characteristics
- Processing time 500gr* at 20 degrees: 20 minutes
- Curing time (20 degrees): 16 to 24 hours
- Full curing: 7 days
- Minimum casting height: 1mm (0.1cm)
- Maximum casting height: 5mm (0.5cm)
- Consumption per m2 (per mm height): 1.10 kg
- Temperature resistance: 65 degrees
*With a large quantity, the processing time is shorter due to exothermic reaction in the mixing bucket. Never mix more than necessary.
Glue, putty and lamination based on epoxy casting resin and filler
Universal epoxy casting resin fast/slow can also be mixed with various fillers to obtain a desired mass. With cotton fiber you make a strong wood glue and with Sylothix an extremely strong glue paste for many different applications.
Make an easy to sand lightweight putty based on universal epoxy casting resin quickly/slowly in combination with the white microballoons.
Universal epoxy casting resin can also be used for lamination. Because both the fast and slow Flow Resin Universal epoxy casting resin is UV-stable, it can be perfectly used for laminating with carbon fiber (carbon).
