Stones & Binder Calculator Area sqm (L*W*1m): Thickness (cm)*: Calculate Stones: 0 kg Resin binder: 0 kg *Recommended minimum thickness for driveway: 2 cm; Other areas: 1.5 cm. Certified Non-Toxic Transparent Epoxy Binder This resin has been specifically formulated to ensure an impeccable result in various applications. Thanks to its high gloss and transparency, and low viscosity, it offers a flawless, clear, and bubble-free result for your colored pebbles or aggregates. It is also certified non-toxic for skin contact post-cure. High Resistance and Durability Excellent resistance for your permeable floor: this binder ensures outstanding mechanical performance once cured. It also cures very quickly, making the floor walkable and fully usable in just 24 hours. Guaranteed Yellowing Resistance The cycloaliphatic amine-based hardener, along with the use of UV filters, guarantees high resistance to yellowing. Key Features High transparency Excellent mechanical resistance Good chemical resistance and carbonation resistance High impregnation and structural reinforcement for permeable floors Long working time Glossy surface High UV resistance for long-lasting creations (low yellowing) High mechanical resistance for scratch protection Low viscosity that reduces air bubbles after curing and facilitates aggregate impregnation Odorless and solvent-free perfectly transparent and bubble-free thanks to the specific formula for natural stones and colored marbles Curing Time Complete curing is achieved in about 24 hours, but the product can be walked on after just 10 hours. Ideal Applications The ideal applications for "ultra-transparent" epoxy resin include colored or dark-colored pebbles and aggregates. Consider these indicative data for epoxy resin for colored aggregates: 1-2 mm - for 20-25 kg of aggregate, add 800g of epoxy resin 3-5 mm - for 20-25 kg of aggregate, add 600g of epoxy resin 6-10 mm - for 20-25 kg of aggregate, add 600g of epoxy resin 10-20 mm - for 20-25 kg of aggregate, add 400g of epoxy resin Main Technical Data (Click the "TDS" icon for the full technical data sheet) Pot-life (150g at 30°C): 1h20' Complete cure after 24h Film cure (1mm at 30°C): 6h Supplied in plastic cans Maximum casting thickness: 2 cm (7 kg at 20°C) Epoxy Resins Epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers derived from monomers containing the three-atom epoxy ring. They are widely used in the production of advanced composite materials, obtained by combining the resin with fibers.

Minimizing Issues with Settling after Casting

To minimize settling issues after casting, it is crucial to adhere to the following best practices:

Utilize premium-quality epoxy resins tailored to the specific application

Ensure accurate dosing and thorough mixing of resin blends

Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity levels during the casting process

Prevent the formation of air bubbles during resin pouring

Employ meticulously cleaned and prepared molds

Adhere closely to the manufacturer's guidelines regarding resin settling and curing times

Apply anti-adhesive coatings or release agents to facilitate artifact extraction from the mold

By adhering to these recommendations, post-casting settling issues can be significantly reduced.

How to Eliminate Air Bubbles in Epoxy Resin

To eliminate air bubbles in epoxy resin, follow these steps:

Stir the resin slowly and steadily using a stirrer

Allow the mixed resin to rest briefly to enable bubbles to surface

Gently heat the resin with a gas torch to release trapped bubbles

Use a vacuum chamber tool to remove air bubbles from the resin

If bubbles persist, utilize a syringe to inject resin into affected areas and expel the bubbles

Finish by applying a silicone coating over the resin to prevent future air bubble formation

Preventing Streaks in Epoxy Resin

To prevent streaks in epoxy resin, employ specific techniques during processing. Here are some useful tips:

Thoroughly mix the resin and hardener for 2-3 minutes, avoiding rapid movements that may introduce air

Use a clean brush or spatula for mixing to prevent contamination and streaks

Pour the resin slowly and evenly, avoiding sudden flows that could create air bubbles

Eliminate any air bubbles by gently passing a gas torch over the surface

Allow the resin to dry in a draft-free, dust-free environment

By diligently following these techniques, streak-free epoxy resin surfaces can be achieved.

Strategies to Enhance Transparency of Epoxy Resin

To enhance the transparency of epoxy resin, consider the following effective solutions in the DIY and coatings sector:

Opt for high-quality transparent resins specifically formulated for enhanced clarity

Minimize agitation during mixing to reduce the formation of opaque-causing air bubbles

Maintain the correct resin-to-hardener ratio to avoid opacity issues

Work in a clean, dust-free environment for a transparent, glossy finish

Apply a glossy or transparent coating to further boost resin transparency

By implementing these recommendations, you can achieve desirable results and enhance the transparency of epoxy resin in your DIY projects.
