EcoPoxy Chemistry
The resin we make is top of the vat. When we derive the resin, it comes out in 3 layers. The top is clear, the middle is yellow, and the bottom is brown. We then sell the yellow and brown layers to a broker, who sells the bottom of the vat resin layers to other epoxy companies.
Ecopoxy Resin® is clear and has a low-viscosity. Ecopoxy hardeners can be mixed at a 2:1 -4:1 mix ratio for increased pot times and strengths. Our resins and hardeners when mixed are waterproof.
Ecopoxy Resin and hardeners have NO Toxic Organic Compounds or Heavy Metals and will soon be "Greenseal" approved. It is formulated without harsh solvents and will not shrink when cured. It is ODORLESS and has a high flashpoint making it safer to work with than other resin systems. Ecopoxy Resin has a viscosity of approximately 600 centipoise (cp) at 77 F (25C).
Ecopoxy Resin wets out and bonds to natural fibers, wood, fiberglass, fabrics, and other materials when mixed at the correct ratios with Ecopoxy hardeners. Our Fairing Compounds, Trowel Mixes and adhesives can fill voids or holes and have great sand ability. Ecopoxy Resin products are easy flow out and self-level. All common additives and fillers can be mixed with our products without a problem.Ecopoxy Resin with our hardeners are adaptable to prepreg, VTRM, Infusion, pultrussion etc.
Comments
It seems to fish eye and pull away from the edges. It may be that my new pumps were not fully primed, making a bad mix, but the resin seems to have hardened properly. Then again it may be that the painted wood substrate had oils from handling around the edges
and needs to be cleaned prior to pouring. Cleaned with rubbing alcohol? Do you have a manual or directions for proper use of your resin? And does it need aerating with a propane torch? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks, L.C.
and mixing does not effect the consistency of the resin in the bottle. I always replaced the cap and secure it very tightly after I use the resin. I only mix the resin and hardener together in paper cups and only in small amounts to use. I am mentioning this
to because I have used your products for about a year now. The last several times the resins have turned milky white, and now hard in only a few weeks. Has something changed with your manufacturing process? If your process has changed it is effecting your
product, at least for me. I know I am not a big purchaser of your products, but I have come to rely on your products and your service as a big part of my business.
happened once a couple of months ago, and I put it down to bad mixing. This time, however, the second batch cured properly where it did not overlap or mix with the first part. Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
