Detailed information

Product detailed description

Maximum UV protection

The integration of UV absorbers and HALS additives ensures that LuminaCast perfectly protects your creations from yellowing and UV radiation damage.

Casting height up to 20 mm

Up to 20 mm (20°C) in a single pour, depending on the amount of material and ambient temperature.

Workability up to 55 mins

Extended workability provides ample time for mixing, pigmenting, and degassing the mixture (at 23°C, 200g, 20 mm).

Mixing ratio 2:1 by weight

Very easy mixing and calculation of the correct amount of individual components.

Applications

Petri Art & Painting Techniques: LuminaCast 4 Gem Flow allows you to create elegant resin art. Ideal for potting heights from 1 mm to 20 mm (at 20°C), higher potting heights are possible at lower ambient temperatures.
Unsurpassed transparency: LuminaCast is the first choice when it comes to producing glass and carbon laminates. It is particularly in demand for molds where maximum transparency is a priority.
Flexibility in application: Whether you choose jewelry making, kitchen countertops, flooring, sealants or wood crafts - LuminaCast 4 Gem Flow always provides the perfect result.

Application and Usage

Check the ambient temperature, as it's the most critical parameter alongside the casting volume. Successful application depends on room temperature and the amount/volume of the resin and hardener mix used. An excessively high room temperature can lead to a very strong exothermic reaction, resulting in yellowing, cracking, and vapor formation in the mixture.
Before use, perform a preliminary test for material compatibility to be painted/poured.
The recommended procedure for the most accurate measurement of all components is by weight, precisely weighing in a 100:50 or 2:1 weight parts ratio based on component (A). Even a slight deviation results in extended or non-occurring hardening. Adding too much hardener increases the material's elasticity and decreases its SHORE D hardness. Excess of component A results in a permanently sticky film, non-reversible due to polyaddition. The maximum deviation in the tolerance range is 0.1%.
Adhere to the recommended mixing time of three to four minutes, then pour into a clean container and mix again for three to four minutes to achieve a maximally homogeneous mixture.
Use the mixing container only once. Follow the recommended maximum mixing speed for both components, which is 300 rpm, preventing or minimizing the formation of air pockets during mixing. Manual mixing is recommended for smaller quantities up to approx. 1 kg. Due to its extended work time, it degasses excellently. We recommend using Allway Tools Helix for mixing.
To prevent resin seepage due to the prolonged curing time, ensure complete sealing of the mold. Suitable for this is the DIPON polypropylene tape, which can be easily separated from the mold after hardening. Optionally, a release wax can be used.

Cleaning

For cleaning used applicators, use acetone or universal thinner. Once the epoxy resin hardens, it can only be removed by sanding. Cleaning immediately after use is recommended.

Important Note:

Mixing transport containers (bottles/cans) A (resin) and B (hardener) will result in incomplete hardening and the corresponding incorrect result. Always weigh both components precisely.
The higher the room temperature and the larger the mixed quantity, the faster the exothermic reaction.

What is LuminaCast?

LuminaCast epoxy resin was developed with the aim of creating an unrivaled clear, UV-stabilized, and self-degassing system that's easy to use and covers the widest possible range of applications, particularly in the arts and crafts sector.
Special attention was given to achieving the highest possible carbamate resistance in all formulations by using the latest raw materials and adding hydrophobic additives. Additionally, besides the most up-to-date UV absorbers and light stabilizers, this system employs only slightly yellowing base amines in the hardener and especially UV-resistant additives. LuminaCast is designed for every application in the decorative sector, be it basic coatings, trays, furniture, or large volume casting.
With one resin and ten hardeners, you have maximum flexibility and can unleash your creative side!

*Dynamic viscosity is measured at 23°C. A reduction in the material temperature is accompanied by a disproportionate increase in dyn. Viscosity. This is eminently important, especially when it comes to self-venting. Example. Viscosity Material temperature 23°C. 730 mPa*s, at 10°C Material temperature: approx. 10,000 mPa*s.
**The processing time is given for a mixture of 200 grams in a mixing cup (diameter 5 cm). Processing time = material temperature 23°C -> 40°C = doubling of the initial viscosity. The time to the max. exothermic temperature (tTMax) is usually twice the time of the prosecuting time.
