All-Round Epoxy Casting Resin – Solvent-Free Epoxy Resin for Laminating & Casting

Versatile Clear Epoxy Casting Resin for Casting, Laminating, Bonding & Coating

All-Round Epoxy Casting Resin consists of the resin Epilox® T 19-38/1000 (component A) and the hardener Epamine PC 19 (component B). It is a solvent-free, two-component epoxy resin widely used in boat building and manufacturing. Thanks to its low viscosity (free-flowing, approx. 800 mPa·s), the resin impregnates wood, concrete, glass fibre, aramid, basalt and carbon fibres excellently and can be used as a laminating resin, adhesive, casting resin and coating. Once cured, the material is very strong and impact-resistant with a final hardness of Shore D85. The resin is processed at a mix ratio of 100:50 by weight, has a working time of 20-25 minutes at 20°C and a demoulding time of 12-18 hours.

Key Properties

• Versatile: → one resin for laminating, bonding, casting and coating.
• Shore D85: → very strong and impact-resistant result for load-bearing applications.
• Low viscosity: → free-flowing, impregnates fibres deeply and evenly.
• Solvent-free and low-odour: → more pleasant to work with in the workshop.
• Casting height 1-50 mm: → suitable for thin coating layers as well as thicker castings.
• UV-resistant: → stays clear for a long time; slight yellowing only occurs after extended time.

Processing

1. Always wear protective gloves (nitrile) and safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area. Always process the product above 8°C.
2. Combine components A and B at a ratio of 100:50 by weight.
3. Mix thoroughly: stir along the edges and across the bottom of the cup until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
4. Preferably pour the mixture into a second cup and mix again.
5. Process within the working time: cast, laminate, bond (optionally with filler) or apply with a brush or velour roller.
6. Allow to cure for 12-18 hours. Higher temperature or larger volume speeds up curing; lower temperature or thin layers slow it down.

Applications

• Laminating and impregnating glass fibre, carbon, aramid and basalt.
• River tables and decorative castings.
• Bonding and filling (with filler) in boat building and construction.
• Coating of wood, concrete and composites.
• Model making, prototyping and creative applications.

Safety

All-Round Epoxy consists of component A (Epilox® T 19-38/1000) and component B (Epamine PC 19); both are classified as hazardous with the signal word Danger. Both components may damage fertility (H360F), may cause an allergic skin reaction (H317) and are toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects (H411). The hardener also causes severe skin burns and eye damage, is corrosive to the respiratory tract (H314, EUH071) and is harmful if swallowed (H302); the resin causes skin and eye irritation (H315, H319). Restricted to professional users. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breathe vapours or mist and always work in a well-ventilated area with suitable personal protective equipment. For full information, please refer to the safety data sheets for components A and B.
