Product Information
EPOXY HARDENER SD7160 2,45 KG
The casting resin hardener (SD7160, 2.45 kg) is used together with the casting resin SR GreenCast 160 (5.83 kg). It is an ideal choice for making jewelry, decorative items, prototypes, and eye-catching epoxy tables – such as the popular "river tables."
Standard epoxy resins do not always perform well in thick pours – they can overheat, yellow, or form air bubbles and surface imperfections. Casting resin SR GreenCast 160 is specifically designed to overcome these challenges. It cures slowly and in a controlled manner, maintaining excellent clarity and minimizing discoloration even in large volumes.

Measure the resin and hardener components accurately. Mix slowly to avoid introducing air bubbles. In some applications, it may be helpful to preheat the mixture and/or degas it under vacuum. The maximum casting thickness is approximately 100 mm.
Safety
Before handling epoxy, ALWAYS ensure proper ventilation and wear protective clothing. Use a long-sleeved shirt and disposable gloves resistant to epoxy (e.g., nitrile). Uncured epoxy resin is a strong skin sensitizer. Fully cured epoxy is not hazardous to health.
Tools can be cleaned with acetone, but keep in mind that epoxy is a very strong adhesive and will stick to almost anything – including your tools. Therefore, use inexpensive tools that can be discarded after use.
