Nerpa Polymers Coating Epoxy advantages over competitors

Coating Epoxy High Viscosity is designed for coatings, crafts, arts and jewelry applications. We formulated it to be a convenient 1:1 by volume mixing ratio system with a working time of 35 minutes. Our Coating Epoxy is made responsibly with bio-based content from recycled glycerol. The high viscosity of a mixed Part A and Part B, similar to liquid honey, makes it easy to achieve thick, hard, durable coats. This unique thick consistency in a liquid state is also ideal for creating amazing patterns in your resin art project with Nerpa Liquid Colourants, as it offers more freedom for colour manipulation and blending.

Key features:

No nonylphenol content. Safe for home use
Simple 1:1 mixing ratio
Longer working time for stress-free resin art, geode and other applications
Two-stage synergistic UV protection
Increased heat resistance
Optical clarity
Resistant to blushing in high humidity conditions

For the best experience in colder conditions, we recommend warming up your epoxy kit to 22-27°C before use. You can also use a propane torch or heat gun to remove the air bubbles.

Our epoxy is made responsibly.

Nerpa Polymers takes a complex approach to manufacturing our resins. Our company employs sustainable methods for producing our resins, such as a zero chemical waste policy with no solvent-free resin manufacturing and equipment maintenance. Our Coating Epoxy is made responsibly using a by-product of biodiesel production — plant-based glycerol. Coating Epoxy resin contains 26% of annually renewable carbon. Learn more.

Nonylphenol free

We use a post-manufacturing treatment process to accelerate our Coating Epoxy's reactivity and cure speed without using potentially toxic nonylphenol and catalysts in our product. Read more about nonylphenol and why we decided not to use it in our blog.

UV protection

Nerpa Polymers Coating Epoxy is stabilized with a two-step complimentary UV protection sequence. It is based on preventing initial damage to cured resin by absorbing harsh UV light and not letting it reach the molecular structure, followed by the second step of neutralization of unwanted radicals capable of damaging the molecular network.
