Applications of Epoxy Resin

This article applies to clear rigid epoxy resin  systems, which are specially formulated for decorative applications including casting, lamination and bonding. It is totally clear and UV stabilized giving excellent optical properties with negligible to no shrinkage on curing.

 

Preparation of Epoxy Resin

It can be used for casting decorative parts featuring a long working time, ease of use and low exotherm. Ensure ambient material and workshop temperature is between 18 to 25ºC and humidity level below 70%.


Mixing is critical and must be accurate. 2 parts resin for 1 part of hardener will provide a hard casting once cured. Pour the hardener first then the resin.

The combined liquids must be thoroughly mixed manually or mechanically to completely remove any haziness or streaks, scraping the sides and base of the mixing pot then transferring the mix to a second container and stirring is best practice for good castings.

An entirely homogeneous mix is essential in achieving optimal results. It is important to only mix the correct quantity at a time as epoxy systems tend to exotherm when kept in a mass.

(Mixing by weight: 100g resin to 42g hardener pro rata)

Application to Mould

It can then be poured into a mould. The mould can be a hard mould or made of silicone rubber. Moulding can be carried out by gravity or under vacuum.

It does not trap air easily and does not heat up when used properly. Temperature should be between 18 to 25ºC. Humidity level below 70%. Pot life is as follows for a 500g mix at 22ºC 2+1 mix=10 hours.

The hard mix (2+1) will provide a hard casting, suitable for manufacture of fancy shapes, decorative items etc. Should a new mix be applied onto cured resin, the contact surface should always be sanded in order to enhance adhesion.

Curing Process
Parts can be released after the following time at 22ºC. 2+1 mix =19 hours

Uses of Epoxy Resin

Epoxy resin is known for its strong adhesive qualities, making it a versatile product in many industries. It offers resistance to heat and chemical applications, making it an ideal product for anyone needing a strong hold under pressure. Epoxy resin is also a durable product which can be used with various materials, including: wood, fabric, glass, china or metal.

Video: 3D River Table Made from Epoxy Resin

Using Epoxy Resin as Adhesives

One of the most common uses of epoxy resin is for adhesive purposes. That’s because the strong-properties of the epoxy allow for structural and engineering adhesives. Commonly, epoxy resin is used in the construction of vehicles, snowboards, aircrafts and bicycles. But epoxy adhesives aren’t limited to only structural applications. In fact, they can be used in virtually any application. Generally speaking, epoxy is used due to its diverse options in setting. It can become flexible or rigid, varying in the opaque and transparent options.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Electronics and Electrical Systems

Placing an important part in the electronics industry, epoxy resin is used in the production of insulators, motors, transformers and generators. As epoxy resins are fantastic insulators and offers protection from dust, moisture and short circuits it remains one of the primary resins used in circuit creation too.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Painting

Known as powder coatings, epoxy paint is found on many household goods like dryers, washers, stoves and similar white goods. Typically, this type of paint is used in more commercial settings. With a water clean-up and tough, protective coating, epoxy paint is an excellent option for appliances. Likewise, cast iron, cast aluminium and cast steel are also other metals which work well with this painting application.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Coatings and Sealant

Epoxy is also known for its corrosion prevention properties, making it an ideal solution to many household objects which may normally rust with time. Items including paint cans, metal containers, and foods which are typically acidic are normally coated before use.

Another use for epoxy resin is the decorative flooring applications. Chip flooring, terrazzo flooring and other aggregate flooring options are coated with an epoxy resin. Epoxy flooring is an environmentally friendly option to traditional flooring options as it reduces the need for pesticides and water consumption.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Repairs

Because of the strong adhesive properties, many consumers use epoxy resin for the repair and maintenance of their household objects. Fragile items like glass, ceramic and china can be fixed quickly with an epoxy resin, helping secure broken or snapped items to the original piece. Likewise, epoxy resin can also be used on many other materials in a similar fashion. Wood, metal, latex or other similar synthetic materials can also be repaired as well. By using the epoxy resin over an otherwise fragile piece, you’ll create a thin, tightly formed barrier which attaches securely and holds in place over the years.

Swimming Pool Design

Our highly skilled designers work closely with architects and clients on the design and build of pools, spas and leisure areas for both private and commercial installations.

At the project concept stage, we have a detailed discussion with the architect, without charge, to enable initial concepts to move forward to a design principal. A flow of workable ideas allows us to supply a preliminary performance specification – this is priced prior to nomination. Upon commission, we consult with the project structural engineer and then submit detailed drawings for construction.

Once the client has confirmed the core concept for the pool and/or spa installation, our designers take full responsibility for the project, from initial design through to construction and landscaping where relevant. We provide detailed design proposals, with all equipment and materials for construction itemised and priced individually.

We handle a wide variety of pools, from a simple lap pool to highly complex projects including infinity edge, linear deck slot, standard deck level overflow and letterbox surface flow – all of which require the inclusion of surface distribution channels and balance tank controls.

Fibreglass Moulding Materials

Fibreglass Moulding Materials Supply

UEL supplies a range of the most common Fiberglass & Polyester Resin Molding Materials used to manufacture your GRP parts at affordable prices. 

 

Our Fiberglass molding materials include: Vinyl Ester Resin, Polyester Resin, Fiberglass Roving, Fiberglass Mat, and Gel Coat. Each fiberglass molding material has different advantages. Polyester resin is the most commonly used material for fiberglass molding, but vinyl ester resin has a number of superior qualities such as heat and water resistance.

Range of Fibreglass Materials

Vinyl Ester Resins

Vinyl Ester Resins typically exhibit excellent heat resistance, great water resistance, and extreme toughness. This resin is widely used in automotive, aircraft, heavy construction, and tooling applications.

Polyester Resin

Polyester Resins are the most widely used; particularly in the marine industry. The majority of dinghies, yachts, recreational boats, and jet skis use of this resin.

Fibreglass Roving

Fiberglass Roving is used as the main strength in reinforcing parts. The roving is fed through a “chop gun” which cuts the roving into strands typically 1” to 2” inches in lengthThe strands are sprayed in conjunction with the fiberglass resin in a crisscross pattern to ensure proper overlapping of the strands for strengthening purposes.

Fibreglass Mat

Fiberglass Mat is used in the hand lay-up process. This process consists of using layers of resin soaked fiberglass matting. Hand-laid parts are very strong and provide consistent wall thickness throughout the part.

Gel Coat

Gel coat is the material used to provide a high-quality finish on the visible surface of a fiberglass reinforced composite product. It has the ability to be as shiny as paint on a new car with a class A finish. This material comes in any color and is used for boats, engine cowlings, and heavy construction products.

The epoxy resin we supply is a  clear epoxy casting resin system often used for river tables, bar-tops and other clear casting applications that need long pot-life with low exotherm properties.

It is very clear with good UV resistance which reduces premature yellowing. All epoxies will yellow to some degree over time. Items left in open sunlight will yellow far quicker that those left indoors. Excellent optical properties with negligible shrinkage on curing.

Our Epoxy resin supplies have superior electrical properties and perform exceptionally well at higher temperatures. Also, epoxy resin products bond well with various types of surfaces, including wood, concrete and gravel bonding floors and fiberglass/jewelry products and applications.
