Product Description
EpoxAcast™ 690
EpoxAcast™ 690 is an UV resistant clear casting epoxy resins suitable for a variety of industrial and art related projects requiring a rigid, clear finished casting. EpoxAcast™ 690 features a very low viscosity for easy mixing and minimal bubble entrapment. Castings cure with negligible shrinkage and are very hard and strong. Resin can be colored with UVO™ or IGNITE™ colorants. Cast Magic™ and Glow Worm™ powders can also be added to create amazing casting effects.
Soma Foama™ 15
Soma Foama™ is a soft, two-component platinum silicone flexible foam that is versatile and easy to use. Soma Foama™ 15 expands 4 times its original volume and develops a uniform 15 lb./cu. ft. cell structure (240 kg/m³). Vibrant colors can be achieved by adding Silc-Pig™ silicone color pigments. Cured foam is high heat resistance (will resist up to 350°F/176°C), water resistant, UV resistant and resists oxidation and ozone degradation.
