• Decorative castings.
• Making paperweights, 3D art resin and figurines.

Main Features:

• Mix and pour up to 25-30mm deep in one pour (manufacturer recommendations).
• Long pot life of 10+ hours at 20°C (1 kg), easy bubble removal and precise article placement.
• Tack free at 21 hours and fully cured at 60 hrs.
• Mix 100parts ADR230 (resin) with 30 parts AD230 (hardener) by weight.
• Little to no exothermic reaction.
• UV Stabilizer added.
• Low viscosity – fluid for intricate castings.
• Slightly tinted blue so when hard, it keeps a high degree of clarity.
• Hardness score: Shore D 80-85.
• Water clear casting resin. The resin component has a slight blue, anti-UV tint that clears when added to the hardener.
• Excellent visual properties.
• Solvent free.

Add a Tap for easy pouring from the large 20kg container VIEW TAP

Mixed ADR 230 Clear Casting Resin can be coloured or tinted with pigments, pastes or tints. ADR 230 can be poured into silicone rubber moulds. Ideal temperature should be between 18-25°C, humidity level below 70%. Surface bubbles can be removed by passing hot air or flame very briefly over surface. If using alcohol inks DO NOT use a flame to remove bubbles. Mixed ADR 230 epoxy resin can be poured in layers. Ideally lightly sand the contact layer to enhance adhesion of layers.

Hi-Build Artwork Resin

• Pot life 15-20 minutes at 23°C (250g mixed mass)
• Second layer after 20 minutes, touch dry in 2-3 hours at 23°C, full cure in 4-5 days
• Inbuilt UV inhibitors.
• No slumping or sliding
• Solvent free and odour free
• High build formula
• Non-flammable
• High viscosity
• VOC free.

Hi-Build Artwork Resin is a two part epoxy resin which will work well in any application where the user wants the resin to stay exactly where it is dropped; no slumping, no sliding, no movement, it stays where you drop it. Simply mix in a 1:1 ratio and let it drip, drop or ooze off your spatula. This resin is not available in a clear option, by default it is an off white colour and therefore Hi-Build must be pigmented. Works well with Eli Chem tints and pigmnets and other brand (suggest testing).

It includes the different types of resin, their use, how to apply each and a comparison table similiar to the Which Resin page.

UltraCast XT synthetic resins have not been tested on animals, and contain no animal parts.

¹ Ensured by UV stabilizers, Blockers and Inhibitors. The products contain UV absorbers and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilisers) and makes use of Cyclo-Aliphatic technology.

This epoxy resin system is used to coat large areas of coverage (floors, kitchen worktops, large canvases or art boards, coasters etc.) Not sure if this resin is right for your project? See our Eli-Chem Which Resin comparison.

UltraCast XT Epoxy Resin can be applied by pouring, a brush or a roller. It is classified low flamability. Please be advised although our resins are U.V stabilised this does not mean they are U.V. proof. Ultimately all our clear epoxy resins will show signs  of U.V. degradation over time. The manufacturers Eli-Chem work constantly to improve U.V. protection, however resins are plastics and over time the sun will always win that battle.

Always wear gloves as it does contain chemicals and may cause allergic skin reactions in some people. Eye protection is also recommended.
Read cautions on individual containers carefully.

Be aware that if tints are used with UltraCast XT, there is a chance the colours could bleed into one another if poured next to each other, as the UltraCast XT formula has a longer working time and is thinner than MasterCast 1-2-1 art resin.

The addition of pigments (inks, powders and pastes) as well as other resin additives (resi-BLAST, silicone, lubricants, alcohol or solvents) will lower its temperature resistance, this is because pigment substances themselves have a very low temperature threshold. Alcohol inks in particular can cause problematic surface finish due to its effect of lowering the viscosity (diluting the resin and impacting its density). Addition of of alcohol inks can cause cloudiness, dimples and other surface blemishes. The alcohol content in these inks will nullify the resin’s non-flammable properties. When alcohol inks or any other solvent is added, special care should be taken when heating the surface with an open flame blowtorch or butane gun.

The thermal withstand of the cured mass is lowered and compromised when increasing amounts of pigments and additives are added or mixed into UltraCast XT. A final clear coat topcoat of UltraCast XT is recommended on top of the pigmented layer to strengthen its resistance against hot objects placed on it.

Note: Due its long open time, UltraCast XT is susceptible to Amine Blush² and Polymer Bloom³ under the following usage conditions : high humidity, low ambient temperature (15°C or below), draughty or windy conditions including air-conditioning. To avoid this effect from occurring it is recommend the resin component (Part A) is pre-warmed before mixing with the Hardener. The temperature and humidity of the working area should be kept as consistent as possible while the resin is curing. (also see Troubleshooting FAQ)
² Amine Blush is a sticky, waxy or oily appearance on the surface of cured epoxy. It can also be spotty, milky or salt-like. This deposit is water soluble and can be wipes/scrubed away with warm, soapy water.
³ Polymer Bloom is caused by the segregation of additives from the polymers which migrates to the surface.

When resin is fully cured, it is safe for incidental contact with food, but not recommended for food preparation (e.g. cooking, cutting). Refer to Food Safety notes.

In Brief – differences between TotalCast and MasterCast 1-2-1:

• TotalCast has a lower mixed viscosity and a thinner consistency than MasterCast.
• TotalCast cures in half the time (3-4hrs), but MasterCast offers a longer practical working time.

TotalCast epoxy resin can be applied by pouring, a brush or a roller. It is classified low flamability. Please be advised although our resins are U.V stabilised this does not mean they are U.V. proof. Ultimately all our clear epoxy resins will show signs  of U.V. degradation over time.

Please note this resin has a heat distortion temperature of 45-50°C which makes it unsuitable for the placement of very hot objects on its surface such as cups, mugs, plates etc. We recommend UltraCast ^xt  for excellent temperature resistance.
