Syntech Epox Timber
Syntech Epox Timber can be applied in thicknesses from 0.5 to 10 cm for the creation of tables and shelves in wood and resin, artistic creations and high thickness castings in which to incorporate small parts, stones, shells and objects in general, including metal . Higher thicknesses and castings without inserting embedded objects can cause overheating during the catalysis of the product. Syntech Epox Timber has excellent chemical resistance, abrasion, scratches and wear, has a high degree of transparency that lasts over time thanks to UV filters, the self-leveling consistency and low viscosity facilitate the elimination of bubbles air and allow to obtain planar surfaces, it does not contain solvents. Excellent resistance to water, basic solutions. Fair resistance to acids and solvents.
Fields of application
Syntech Epox Timber is a transparent vitrifying resin to be applied by pouring for the construction of tables and wood-resin surfaces, by incorporating boards, fragments or sections of wood, even irregular, appropriately treated and thick coatings on even wood surfaces.
Preparation of supports
If the support is absorbent, such as untreated wood or porous materials, it must be previously treated with the same Syntech Epox Timber applied by brush to avoid the formation of air bubbles. To make bulk filler castings, prepare suitable molds of the desired shape. Make sure you have 'leveled' the surface so that the resin can level itself correctly and thus a perfectly flat surface is obtained.
Mode of use
Mix components A (basic formulation) and B (hardener) each in their own container before mixing; then pour component B into the container of component A. Mix everything for a few minutes using a mechanical stirrer at variable speed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, with a uniform color and free of lumps. Do not take partial quantities from the packs to avoid any errors in the mixing ratio which would cause failure or incomplete hardening.
After mixing, proceed by pouring the mixture into the previously prepared mold. High thickness castings require hardening times between 48-72 hours at a temperature of 25-30 ° C. To avoid surface defects or lengthening of the hardening time, it is advisable to work in an environment with a temperature of at least 25 ° C, a temperature to be maintained throughout the hardening period.
The completely hardened product can be polished like normal lacquers paying attention to the residual elasticity, during the polishing process it is necessary to avoid overheating the surface to avoid temporary softening. Otherwise, you can proceed with the application of clear acrylics after having sanded the resin with 500/1000 paper.
