Attention, open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Fillers are used to alter form and function of resins.  Some may decrease shrinkage, increase or decrease weight, assist in roto-casting, add thermo-conductive properties for vacuum forming, or alter appearance.  Many fillers are versatile and offer one or more benefits.  **Recommended levels of additional filler are based on Total Resin Weight—A + B Components, and are pre mixed to the A-side of mixture prior to blending both components.  

Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH)
Filler used in Polyester & Epoxy resins for fire retardancy (Contains moisture; not recommended for Urethanes)

AP 120   Atomized Powder
Buffable, fine mesh powder used to create a polish pewter appearance in resins.  Recommended level  100%.

CC-200
Limestone filler (off white color, fine particle size) used to lower cost and add weight to urethane and polyester resins.   Recommended levels 50-200%.

GAP-25
Grey aluminum powder mixture of thermal conductive powders used to decrease thermal distortion, lower shrink, and increase hardness in urethane resins.  Add ratios 50-200% by weight.    GREAT FOR VACUUM FORM TOOLING @ 50% by weight ratio.

GF 3000   Glass Filler

Surface treated, high-density glass filler.  Good extender for creating greater scratch resistant surface and reducing shrinkage for master pieces.  Recommended levels  200%.

HGF 100 – Hollow Glass Spheres        
Low-density filler used to create lightweight pieces. Recommended levels 5% to 10%.  (8.75 LB. CUBIC FEET)

Metalic Powder  Bronze (CB-21)  Copper (CC-11)  Gold (CG-10)  Iron (CI-30)  Pewter (AP 120)  Silver (CS 73)       
Used in resins to create beautiful polished cold cast metal sculptures.  Buff and polish the metallic castings and see the amazing results.  Recommended levels  200 - 300%.

MP-200 - Marble Powder
Simulated White Marble.   Recommended levels 50-200%.  

PE ESS 5F   Mini Fibers
Used to reinforce and thicken both RTV rubbers and resins for brush-up applications.  BETTER THAN CABOSIL AND STRONGER THAN CHOPPED FIBERGLASS STRANDS.    Recommended level  5%   10% by weight.  

Thermolite

Fly ash powder that reduces weight, improves paint adhesion, lowers exotherm and aids in roto-casting.  Thermolite is excellent as a release for hot white metal in silicone molds. Recommended levels 50% to resin weight.

Whiting #2 – UV master batch additive to stop  “White” color loss in Silcast ll and Quickcast resins.   Add 20-30% to A side only.
