UV Resin – Cold Glaze

Price from EUR 17,27

Cold Glaze Resin is a transparent, two-component glazing system consisting of a high-quality resin and hardener. It is engineered to create a mirror-like surface that offers excellent scratch resistance and partial chemical resistance. This versatile medium is suitable for application on various substrates including ceramics, wood, metal, plaster, polystyrene, and concrete. Note: This product is not compatible with plastic surfaces.

Durability & Resilience: The system is weather-resistant and waterproof, making Cold Glaze Resin UV suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. It provides a robust, crystal-clear protective layer that maintains its integrity under environmental exposure.

Description

Technical Application Guide:

This professional two-component resin system is engineered for high-gloss surface finishing. By adhering to the following technical protocols, users can achieve diverse aesthetic effects ranging from thin protective coatings to structural simulations.

Mixing & Viscosity Management:

Ratio: Mix resin and hardener at a strict 1:1 ratio. Ensure thorough mechanical mixing for a homogenous solution.
Immediate Use: The mixture is initially low-viscosity, ideal for brush application on porous substrates such as plaster or concrete where a gloss finish is desired.
Phased Viscosity: The material properties evolve over time:
- 30 Minutes: Achieves a honey-like consistency, suitable for controlled pouring.
- 60 Minutes: Becomes high-viscosity ("fat"), ideal for palette knife application. This stage allows for structural "wave effects" or moving water in small-scale model scenes.
Thermal Control: Curing speed is temperature-dependent. Heat reduces viscosity initially before accelerating the cure, while cold temperatures extend the working window.

Critical Safety & Handling:

Exothermic Reaction: If the mixture is not for immediate use, it must be poured into a flat container with a depth no greater than 15–20 mm. Layers exceeding this thickness risk a violent temperature increase (exothermic reaction), causing the resin to cure within minutes.
Degassing: Surface micro-bubbles can be easily removed by applying warm air from a hairdryer or heat gun.
Post-Curing: If the surface remains tacky after several days, heat the surface with a heat gun or place the object in an oven at 60°C for 30 minutes with the door slightly ajar.

Maintenance & Storage:

Protection: The object should be protected from dust during the curing process.
Storage: Store the resin in a dark environment at approximately 18°C.
Decrystallisation: After long-term storage, the resin may crystallise. If this occurs, place the container in warm water (approx. 60°C) for 15–20 minutes until crystals dissolve. Allow the resin to cool to room temperature before mixing with the hardener. Note: Long-term storage may cause a slight yellowing, which is typically imperceptible in thin layers.
