Product Description
EpoxAcoat™ WHITE
EpoxAcoat™ RED, GREY, WHITE and NEUTRAL are thixotropic epoxy gel coats which are widely used for hand laminating and tooling applications. They are tough and strong surface coat resins which cure at room temperature and offer exceptional abrasion resistance. EpoxAcoat™ NEUTRAL is formulated “color neutral” specifically for adding color pigments and fillers. For high temperature applications (to 284°F / 140°C) use EpoxAcoat HT™ (see separate technical bulletin).
Alja-Safe™
Safe to use Alja-Safe™ is the world’s first alginate molding powder that does not contain crystalline silica (a known carcinogen). Alja-Safe™ is perfect for making single-use molds of the face, hands and other body parts. It captures detail better than other alginates, giving you a more accurate reproduction of your original.
Certified Skin Safe - Material is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory.
