Vibrant colors and color effects are achieved by adding pigment dispersions. Applications include encapsulation, making prototype models, lenses, sculpture reproductions, decorative cast pieces, jewelry, prototype models, special effects and props.
* Casting Thickness & Cure Time - The cure time and ultimate shrinkage of all Crystal Clear products will vary depending on mass concentration, thickness of the casting, mold configuration, etc. For example, a 200 gram mass of CC 200 will cure faster if left to cure in a conical vessel (cup) versus a casting dispersed as a thin sheet measuring 3 centimeters square by 1 mm thick. This is due to the heat generated by the concentration of material in the cup versus heat that is dissipated from the sheet casting. Castings will resist yellowing when exposed to UV, but may darken over time.
• Crystal Clear® 200 is intended for a casting thickness ranging from 1/2in to 3in at a casting weight maximum of 16 lbs. (7.25 kgs.) Castings greater than 3in should be layer cast.
• Crystal Clear® 202 is intended for casting in thin sections. Developed for casting thicknesses of no more than 1/2in.
• Crystal Clear® 204 can be cast in thicknesses up to 6in at a casting weight maximum of 35 lbs. (15.88 kgs.).
• Crystal Clear® 206 is for castings greater than 6in. |
