Recognized as the world's largest resin
casting, 10 tons of Crystal Clear resin were
cast in a single pour to create "The Fourth
Plinth" sculpture for London's Trafalgar
Square. |

Crystal Clear
220
Crystal Clear is water white clear heat cure resin
system and made specifically for applications that require absolute
clarity. This rigid urethane mold casting resin is a harder version of out
popular Crystal Clear Series resins and cures to a Shore 85d. Cured
castings are highly UV Resistant (resists yellowing due to ultra-violet
light exposure) and are not brittle. Vibrant colors and color effects are
achieved by adding pigment dispersions. Applications include
encapsulation, making prototype models, lenses, sculpture reproductions,
decorative cast pieces, jewelry, special effects and props.
One project involved casting ten tons in one pouring for the London Plinth
project.

CAUTION: NOT FOR HOME USE. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY. Proper ventilation, a NIOSH Approved Respirator and Protective Clothing (gloves and long sleeves) are required to minimize the risk of inhalation and dermal sensitization. If breathing is affected or a dermal rash develops, immediately cease using this product and seek medical attention. Read MSDS before using.

Feather Lite
Feather Lite is a new heavily filled low-density
urethane mold casting resin. Cured plastic is lightweight (it floats in water!)
and has much lower density than other casting resins. Feather Lite
features a convenient 1A : 1B by volume mix ratio and mixes easily
(pre-mixing of parts A & B is necessary). Cured plastic is strong and
can be carved, machined, drilled, sanded, etc. Feather Lite can be
pigmented with SO Strong color tints prior to casting and finished
castings can be painted.
And because this product is low-density, it yields
more plastic per pound/kg. than other resins,
the
cost per casting is low.
Feather Lite can be used for a variety of art or
industrial design related applications including reproducing sculpture,
making fishing lures, prototype model making, casting doll heads and
figures, etc.
TASK Series
Plastics
TASK Plastics is a new generation of performance
urethane mold casting resins that offer superior physical properties compared
to out popular Smooth-Cast line of general purpose casting resins.
TASK Plastics feature convenient mix ratios, low
viscosities, high tensile a flexural strength, as well as high flexural
modulus. These plastics were formulated for a variety of industrial
applications including pattern making, making prototype models and making
high impact solid or rotational castings (TASK 15). TASK Plastics are
moderately priced and are available in trial kits, one gallon, five
gallon, 55 gallon drum and tote units.
URE-BONDtm
II
URE-BONDtm
II is a premium performance urethane adhesive compound that
offers a strong flexible bond between many different surfaces. Industrial
applications for this adhesive are endless because it is a superior
bonding agent for adhering polyurethane rubber and other polymer products
to many types of substrates (such as plaster, wood, cement, stone) and
non-porous materials (such as glass, hard plastics and a variety of
metals).
URE-BONDtm
II has also been used to repair torn polyurethane molds on a
limited basis (with proper surface preparation). Once mixed and applied,
URE-BOND II takes about 12 minutes to cure and yields a strong, flexible
bond.
Plasti-Pastetm
Plasti-Pastetm
is a new two component fiber resin that is designed for vertical surface
application. Part A is a liquid and Part B is a paste. Mix ratio is 1A :
3B by volume. It has no odor and pot life is 8 – 10 minutes depending on
mass. Demold time (can be handled) is about 90 minutes depending on mass.
Plasti-Pastetm
holds a vertical surface without sagging and cures to a strong,
durable and lightweight plastic. Suitable as a mother mold / support shell
(reinforces shape of rubber mold during casting), or as a laminating
material. Can be pigmented with So-Strong
color tints from Smooth-On. Add cabosil or other filler as an extender
or for special effects.

The Smooth-On family of multi-purpose urethane casting resins offers the
user tremendous versatility and economy.
These products feature the convenience of a one to one mix ratio
by
volume - no scale is necessary. Very low viscosity ensures easy mixing, pouring and
exact duplication of detail.
These urethane resins cure with negligible shrinkage to hard plastics
that are tough, durable, machinable and paintable. They also resist moisture and mild
solvents. Vibrant color and color effects are easily achieved by adding pigments.

SC-300
SC-300 and SC-310 have the lowest viscosity of any
casting resins available. They literally pour like water and yield castings that are
bright white and virtually bubble-free. Both have no odor and contain no solvents (low
shrinkage factor). SC 300 is ideal for making fast castings and can be consistently
foamed. SC 310 has a 20 min. pot life for applications requiring a longer cycle time.

C-1508 is our hardest and most durable urethane
plastic. Originally developed to make vacuum forming molds, C-1508 is aluminum filled
(looks like aluminum) and can be cast in thick sections with negligible shrinkage. Fully
cured C-1508 can be machined (drilled, sawed, sanded, filed, tapped, etc.) and painted.

C-1511 is a truly unique casting resin that is
very strong when cast in Ultra-Thin sections - 0.03" to 0.50" (0.075cm to
1.27cm).
C-1511 has very low viscosity and negligible shrinkage. Vibrant colors
are possible by adding color pigments. This plastic has become a favorite of prototype and
design professionals throughout the world.

C-1515 is a soft semi-rigid plastic that offers a
fast cure and demold time. C-1515 is flexible enough to be used as a fast setting mold
material or for quick model duplication. Cured castings exhibit good heat and chemical
resistance. C-1520 is essentially the same material, but offers a longer pot life and
demold time.

Crystal Clear 200 is for applications
that require absolute clarity. It is a low viscosity system that cures at room
temperature with negligible shrinkage to a hard plastic. Cured castings are water white
clear, UV stable and will not yellow over time. Vibrant or tint colors are achieved
with color pigments. CC200 has a Shore 50A flexible counterpart: 64-2 Clear Flex.

Epoxy Casting
Compounds
Smooth-On Epoxy Casting Compounds
are suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Epoxy Compounds are
harder than our urethane plastics and offer superior resistance to impact, abrasion and
heat distortion. Used in conjunction with an appropriate hardener (Sonite 01, 03, 07, 08,
11, 16 hardeners), different properties are attainable. Consult technical bulletins for
complete details.
A - 3 Aluminum Filled
-
Heavily filled to improve heat transfer and provide good machinability.
A - 30 Aluminum Filled
-
Non-settling, low viscosity with low overall shrinkage.
#20-136 Mineral Filled - Superior
heat resistance, low viscosity, readily degasses itself. Can be used as a high temperature
epoxy adhesive. (Resists temperatures up to 350 F / 177 C)
