- Epoxy Putties
Epoxy Putties are used for a variety of fabrication or sculpting applications and are available as rigid or semi-rigid. With several to choose from, these are easy to use “mix-and-apply by hand” systems. High-density epoxy putties can be textured and stamped to make artificial tree bark, vines, aquarium-safe coral pieces or flame-rated themed elements. Low-density putty is used for reinforcement, making lightweight elements and filleting for composite applications. Epoxy sculpting putty allows the user to sculpt fine detail with precision to create lasting works of art.
- Epoxy Resin
Epoxy resins are used for a variety of industrial and art applications. They are a different class of resin chemistry and are generally stronger than other resins, offering superior physical and performance properties including higher heat resistance. Casting resins are used for making impact tooling or fixtures and are also used for encapsulating and potting applications. Laminating resins are used with glass fiber and other reinforcements to create indestructible lightweight parts for composite applications.
