By reducing the temperature (room, substrate, material temperature to e.g., 60°F and reducing the area to e.g., 4"x4", casting heights of up to 12" can be achieved in one casting process.
No epoxy resin worldwide is completely UV stable. However, high-quality raw materials and additives such as UV absorbers can increase UV stabilization. By using a top coat, you can further increase the UV stabilization of the epoxy. Top coats are e.g., transparent polyurethane (PU) resins or lacquers that are painted or sprayed onto the epoxy coating as a finish.
When properly used and completely cured, it is VOC free. "VOC" is the abbreviation for volatile organic compounds. VOC-containing epoxy resins, as well as adhesives and paints, can continue to evaporate for years after drying and curing and release substances that are hazardous to health into the indoor air. The VOC content in the air can be determined with CO2 measuring devices. Especially in closed rooms, a high VOC content in the air can lead to breathing difficulties, headaches, and other health problems. In closed rooms and when using a lot of epoxy resin, e.g. for tables and floors, we, therefore, advise the use of our high-quality, VOC-free epoxy resins.
All our epoxy resin systems are without free BPA (=Bisphenol A). "BPA-free" means that there is no free bisphenol A in our epoxy resins. Bisphenol A is a plasticizer in plastics and resins. Bisphenol A can dissolve from BPA-containing products when they come into contact with food and then enter the human body. This can again can cause health problems.
