What is epoxy resin?
AnswerEpoxy resin is an oligomer of the epoxy group, which under the influence of a hardener can form cross-linked polymers.
Epoxy resins have wide applications: metal coatings, wood coatings, use in electronic/electrical components, high-voltage electrical insulators, production of paintbrushes and adhesives, decorations, jewelry.
What can we use epoxy resin for?
AnswerEpoxy resin is very popular for coating floors, wood, souvenirs, furniture, and more. It is also suitable for making jewelry and art panels. Our resin is crystal clear but can be colored. Only pigments specially developed for this purpose are used.
What is the technology of working with epoxy resin?
AnswerPreliminary preparation is very important for a good final result. The work area must be clean, the product characteristics must be known, safety conditions and instructions must be followed before starting work. Usually, poor results are related to improper mixing of the two components (resin and hardener).
It is important to follow the ratios of the two components (resin and hardener) specified by the manufacturer.
Also, the resin must be used immediately after mixing because the resin curing process is irreversible after adding the hardener.
On what surfaces can I use epoxy resin?
AnswerEpoxy resin is a versatile material that can be used on glass, ceramics, wood, metal, polymer clay, and any other surfaces.
Epoxy resin can be used to create various coatings, including a high-gloss finish, which is ideal for countertops, floors, and jewelry.
Can we add live flowers and others into the resin?
AnswerIt is not recommended because the organism is full of oxygen and bubbles will form; also, darkening or yellowing may occur due to the organism’s decay. It is better if decorations are herbarium (dried flowers, dried insects).
Other decorations can also be added – glitter, pigment, glass elements, and many more.Is it possible to color epoxy resin?
