General List of Epoxy Resin
Epoxies are known for their excellent mechanical and chemical resistance properties. They offer great water and heat resistance, as well as providing a tough, strong, low shrink material. Epoxies consist of two parts, Base (E) and Hardener (H) and are mixed at a specified mix ratio. Below are some recommended systems, but other custom systems are available.
Molds and Vacuum Form Tooling
E-108 AC ALUMINUM FILLED, Low Shrink Tooling Material
H-1922 Use for Tools Less than 1.5” Thickness
H-82 High Temperature Hardener for Tools in Constant or Long Heat Cycles 300F+, needs post cure
E-108 AHT ALUMINUM FILLED with Good Flow Properties—Lower Viscosity
H-82 Best High Temperature Resistance Hardener—300F+, requires post cure
H-1922 Good General purpose Hardener, Heat Resistance below 250F
Casting and Clear Coating
E-108 WC Water Clear Epoxy, Great for Clear Castings
H-403 Use for Castings over 1” Thickness, low heat resistance
H-33 Best for Thin Castings Up to 1” Max Thickness, low heat resistance
E-108 SP-WC Decoupage Clear Coat Epoxy used for Encapsulating, Coating, and Protection of Wood,
H-499 Plastic, or Ceramic Surfaces
Laminating and Tooling Gel Coat
E-108 GC Epoxy Gel Coat, Creates a Very Hard Face Coat for Fiberglass Lay-Ups
H-2072
E-108 SP Low Sag, Laminating and Brush-On system, Great Coating for Carving Foams
H-1922
Specialty Systems
EW-108 Water Emulsifiable Resin used to Strengthen Plaster, Cement, and Grout.
H-413 Use at 15-20% Mixture to Premixed Mortar 100%.
EPOXY PUTTY PASTE Creamy paste, 1 to 1 mix ratio, used to hard coat foams, as an adhesive, fairing, and patching or decorative sculpting compound.
EPOXY KLAY Kneadable Sculpting Dough, Work Time-75min with 12 Hour Cure
Hardener Descriptions
H-82 High Temperature Hardener for Constant or Long Heat Cycles 300F- requires post cure
H-403 Low Temperature Hardener—Low 200F Range with filled systems
H-1922 High Temperature Hardener—High 200F Range with filled systems
H-2072 Very Quick Epoxy Hardener—Use for Cooler Weather Cures or Thin Section Pieces
*Mix Only Small Amounts—Builds Heat Fast in Mass
H-33 Great for Thin Section and Blush Free Cold Weather Cures—45F--Cycloaliphatic amine
Good to 200F with filled systems
Note:
Length of time at high temperature determines serviceability of Epoxy. Full cure of Epoxy could be 72 hours or next day with post cure of 125-150F for 2hours. If Constant High temperature resistance is required, follow Post Cure Schedule:
150F 1 HOUR/ 2 inch thick
175F 1 HOUR/ 2 inch thick
200F 1 HOUR/ 2 inch thick
250F 1 HOUR/ 2 inch thick
Epoxy may exhibit some brittleness until fully cured. Color can change with UV exposure or with large mass casting which has a higher exotherm.
