What is Casting Resin?<\/h2>\n

Casting resin is a low-viscosity epoxy resin<\/a>, which consists of two components<\/strong>: the actual resin and the matching hardener. When these two components are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs, which causes the mass to harden for some time. And this brings us to the special features of casting resin – its thin consistency. This property allows the resin to penetrate and fill even the smallest gaps and cavities. The thinner consistency also has an influence on the curing time, which is considerably longer. With the casting resin, we therefore have a highly specialised product for very specific applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a large number of different resins available for purchase. Unfortunately, manufacturers often use different terms, making it difficult to distinguish between casting resins and epoxy resins<\/strong>. Terms such as laminating resin or gel \/ topcoat are also frequently used, which can lead to costly mistakes. We have compared the best casting resins with each other and compared them in a clearly arranged table.<\/strong><\/p>\n
