CHEM-THICK can be described as a VOC-free,
odor-free two-component system for casting with
100% solids formulation. This product is
designed in a way that can be poured even at thick
levels (about 3 inches of single coating when
applying to regular areas) while maintaining a
look that is crystal-clear. It is also specially
formulated for any casting application to avoid
shrinkage. It is built to retain colors and has great
air release. Amongst its benefits is it's top-notch
mechanical properties like impact resistance. The
product is best left for a week at room
temperature during the curing to help it gain back
its unique properties.
Uses:
It can be used to cast applications on a variety of
substrates. You can also pour it on rocks, concrete,
wood, granite, metal and so on. It is always advisable
to perform sufficient adhesion tests before trying out
this product.
Advantages:
• It has great UV resistance
• It is good for the environment (lacks solvent,
100% solids and VOC-free) “food safe”
• It is odorless
• It has a long pot life and great working time
which makes it easy to apply
• It is perfect for casting and can be used for
applications with smaller encapsulations
Curing Time:
The product curing time is determined by the shape
and thickness of the poured volume. The quantity
poured, ambient temperature and the shape sought
are some of the factors that affect curing time. The
product is best applied in a stable room temperature
of about 20 degrees. Low temperature might affect
the quality of the curing. While a high ambient
temperature could lead to an exothermic reaction.
You can avoid bubbling by heating the product, but
it could also lead to an exothermic reaction. Try not
to allow the thickness to exceed 3 inches in large
application areas. A thicker quantity can be applied
for smaller applications, shapes or areas. It is
important to carry out a sufficient number of tests
before you start using the products.
