Bio-Based Transparent CCR Resin - River Table & Jewellery | Entropy Resins

Product Description

The CCR epoxy resin from Entropy Resins is designed for artistic and leisure applications such as jewellery making, thick coatings, and inlays.

It is a low-viscosity, UV-resistant resin that also guarantees exceptional crystal-clear transparency.

It is suitable for all experience levels, both for professionals and beginners.

Choice of Hardeners

• CCS (Slow: extended working time with a curing time of 72 hours) reduces the risk of overheating, as well as bubbles for thick castings.
• CCF (Fast: curing in 24 hours) is ideal for small projects and suitable for fine castings such as resin jewellery creation and others.

Key Benefits and Areas of Application

• Application flexibility: the CCR resin is versatile and suitable for a variety of applications, ranging from jewellery to furniture such as river tables and other decorative elements.
• Eco-friendly: Developed with Super Sap technology from renewable raw materials sourced from co-products or waste from other industrial processes, the CCR epoxy resin from Entropy Resins contains 30% bio-based components and is certified by the USDA Certified BioBased Product label.
• Crystal-clear transparency: thanks to its low viscosity, this resin facilitates bubble release for a smooth, bubble-free finish, ensuring excellent transparency. It is ideal for creations that require maximum clarity.
• UV resistance: its formula helps prevent yellowing of creations, thus preserving their clarity even outdoors.

Usage Advice

• Measure the correct mixing ratio of the two components by weight for best results.
• Mix for at least 2 minutes, scraping all surfaces of the container for a homogeneous mixture.
• Use the epoxy in a temperature-controlled environment to adhere to the product's optimal limits. Avoid cold ambient temperatures or high humidity.
• Ensure that surfaces are dry and free from dirt, debris, and/or oil. Surface preparation by sanding is strongly recommended.
• For wooden substrates, it is recommended to impregnate the substrate with a thin layer of resin/hardener.
• Conduct preliminary tests with your intended materials and processes to understand the curing characteristics of the resin in your working environment and its compatibility with other materials.
• Beware of humidity and water, as the resin may become opaque. Use a heat gun if necessary.

CCR is a low-viscosity, water-clear, UV-resistant, bio-based epoxy resin designed specifically for casting and moulding applications. Its low viscosity allows bubble-free and crystalline casting, ideal for artistic and leisure applications. The system features two cure rates: slow (CCS) for high density casting resin applications and fast (CCF) for fast casting resin applications for small projects, such as resin jewellery and others. CCS is a USDA BioPreferred certified product with a 30% biobase content. Use: jewellery, thick coatings, castings. Density: fast: 250g/231ml for a maximum thickness of 62mm / slow: 1000g/935ml for a maximum thickness of 100mm. Working temperature: between 15°C and 25°C.

Tip for Use

• For best results, measure the correct mixing ratio of the two components by weight.
• Always stir the product thoroughly for at least 2 minutes, scraping all surfaces of the container to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
• Use the product in a temperature-controlled environment within the optimal limits of the product's use. Avoid cold ambient temperatures or high humidity.
• For optimum curing performance, ensure that surfaces are dry and free of all dirt, debris and/or oil. Surface preparation by sanding is strongly recommended.
• Carry out preliminary tests with the materials and processes being considered to fully understand the curing characteristics of the resin in your working environment and the compatibility of the resin with other materials.

Available Options

• CCR resin + CCS slow hardener. Mixing ratio by volume: 2:1. Mixing ratio by weight: 100:42. Mixing viscosity (cPs at 25°C): 270. Time of use (at 25°C): 360 minutes. Dry to the touch (at 25°C): 72 hours. Recommended full cure: 7 days at 25°C (post cure recommended). Characteristics: high transparency and low polymerisation speed, allowing the production of high thicknesses or large castings.
• CCR resin + CCF fast hardener. Mixing ratio by volume: 2:1. Mixing ratio by weight: 100:43. Mixing viscosity (cPs at 25°C): 370. Time of use (at 25°C): 90 minutes. Dry to the touch (at 25°C): 24 hours. Recommended full cure: 7 days at 25°C (post cure recommended). Characteristics: high transparency for use on coloured substrates or for inlaying objects.
• Attention to humidity and the presence of water. The resin may become opaque. If this is the case, a heat gun must be used.
