Product Information
EPOXY HARDENER SD 7160 0,42 KG
Casting resin hardener SD 7160 is used together with SR GreenCast 160 Casting Resin. It is an ideal choice for making jewellery, decorative items, prototypes and impressive epoxy tables, such as popular “river tables."
Standard epoxy resins do not always perform well in thick castings – they may overheat, yellow, or form air bubbles and uneven surfaces. Casting resin, such as SR GreenCast 160, has been specially developed to meet these challenges. It cures slowly and in a controlled manner, maintaining excellent clarity and minimising colour changes even in large casting volumes.

Measure the resin component and hardener accurately. Mix slowly to avoid air bubbles. In some applications, it may be useful to preheat the mixture and/or remove air bubbles under vacuum. The maximum casting thickness is approximately 100 mm.
Safety
Before working with epoxy, ALWAYS ensure good ventilation and skin protection. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and disposable gloves resistant to epoxy, such as nitrile rubber gloves. Uncured epoxy resin is a strong skin sensitiser. Fully cured epoxy plastic is harmless to health.
Tools can be cleaned with acetone, but keep in mind that epoxy is an extremely strong adhesive and sticks to almost anything – including tools. It is therefore recommended to use inexpensive tools that can be disposed of after use.
