Ultra-Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291 – Special for Resin Table Making
What is Ultra-Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291 for Resin Table Making?
Epoxy resin tables are among the most popular decorative tables today, attracting many enthusiasts. The art and technique of working with resin to create beautiful and diverse resin structures have gained significant popularity, not only as a hobby but also as a source of income. Resin art is particularly appealing for making decorative resin items such as tables, utensils, and paintings. A wooden epoxy table is one of the most attractive ideas for crafting wooden tables. One of the main reasons for using wood and epoxy resin tables in home décor is their simultaneous beauty and simplicity, along with the sense of nature and life they bring.
Mandan Polymer, a knowledge-based company, is a manufacturer of various epoxy and polyurethane resins, utilizing the latest and most advanced knowledge and technology to produce high-quality products. Epoxy resin 810, designed for resin table-making, consists of two components: Resin 810 and Hardener 2291. These two components must be mixed in a 1:2 ratio (100g resin to 50g hardener). When mixed and exposed to air, the resin hardens within 24 to 48 hours and becomes solid. Although epoxy resin is naturally colorless, it can be mixed with various pigment pastes, alcohol inks, pearl powders, and metallic powders to achieve different colors.
How to Use Ultra-Clear Resin 810 and Hardener 2291?
Pre-Application Recommendations and Precautions
- All tools, mixing containers, and wooden surfaces must be clean and free from dust and contaminants before use.
- It is recommended to preheat the resin to 50°C for 30 minutes before application.
Application Steps
- Before use, preheat Resin 810 to 50°C for 30 minutes.
- During mixing, the resin and hardener should be at a temperature range of 20 to 30°C.
- The mixing ratio is 50%, meaning for every 100g of Resin 810, add 50g of Hardener 2291.
- Stir the resin and hardener gently for 2 minutes using a manual stirrer.
- Allow the mixed resin to rest for 1 to 5 minutes before pouring.
- The cured piece will harden within 24 to 48 hours.
- Full curing takes 7 to 10 days.
Key Tips for Quality Improvement
- If the resin and hardener are not mixed in the correct ratio, the resin will not cure properly.
- Always use a precision scale to measure the resin and hardener accurately.
- Avoid excessive stirring to prevent air bubbles.
- If the resin crystallizes, follow the resin reconditioning instructions. (For the crystallization removal guide, contact the Mandan Polymer sales team.)
- Ensure 48 to 72 hours of curing time for the resin to fully harden.
- If the resin solidifies (common in colder seasons), gradually warm it to restore clarity.
- Indirect heating is required: In cold seasons, store the resin near a heater for 24 hours or use a heat gun indirectly.
- Always use industrial-grade measuring scales to calculate the exact amount of hardener.
- Measure material temperature using a laser thermometer.
