Offering Clarity and Protection
Craft Resin is a leading brand in the DIY home and garden improvement industry. With our commitment to providing superior products, we have designed Craft Resin to offer two main benefits that set us apart from the competition: protection against yellowing, and a low-odour, solvent-free formulation.
Protection Against Yellowing
When it comes to resin projects, clarity and longevity are essential. That's why we have prioritized anti-yellowing properties in our epoxy resin formulation. Craft Resin utilizes pure ingredients, employing the highest graded raw materials to ensure crystal clear results from bottle to finish.
To further enhance our formulations, we have incorporated a blend of light stabilizing additives. These additives inhibit discoloration, misty effects, cracking, and loss of the glossy look that can occur in epoxy resins over time. Additionally, we have included a Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) to provide superior UV protection and prevent yellowing. HALS not only stops yellowing from happening in the first place but also offers enhanced UV resistance.
With Craft Resin, you receive triple protection against yellowing. However, it is important to note that the use of silicone oil in epoxy resin projects can compromise the non-yellowing properties of the formulation. Silicone oil may reflect its yellow coloring, resulting in yellowing over time.
A low-odour, solvent-free formulation
Safety is a top concern for us at Craft Resin. While epoxy resins have received negative attention regarding their impact on health, not all resins are created equal. Some formulations contain harmful chemicals and emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can be detrimental to your respiratory system and overall well-being.
Craft Resin is designed for use at home or in a workshop, with a low-odour, solvent-free formulation. Like all epoxy systems it does contain volatile organic compounds in its uncured state — independently measured at 40 g/kg, within the regulatory limit for this category — so work in a ventilated space and wear gloves and eye protection. Uncured resin and hardener are classified as hazardous to health; fully cured resin is inert.
Craft Resin does not contain added solvents. However, artists often add solvents to their work. While you can use alcohol inks to color your epoxy resin creations, be cautious about adding large amounts of colorants, as this can disrupt the cure and increase flammability.
At Craft Resin, we take pride in the formulation we have created. We are delighted to support resin artists in creating crystal clear and beautiful work while ensuring their safety. While our formulations are safe, it is always advisable to take extra precautions when working with Craft Resin. For more safety guidance, please refer to our safety guidelines.
