I'm really enjoying the Casting Lite 1", as I do with all Nerpa Resin. Easy to mix and pour. Love the quick turn around for the curing. I have confidence with all my pours that they will be clear and show off all the flowers that I use.

Amazing epoxy for flower preservation
Really like this product for flower preservation. Doesn't weight the flowers down, minimal bubbles and great color to the resin whemn cured. Also, only takes about 24-36 hrs to cure enough to pour another layer.
We are excited to present the newest member of our epoxy resin family - the Nerpa Polymers Casting Epoxy Lite. Specifically formulated for small projects with a maximum thickness of one inch, our novel epoxy resin system ensures optimal results while minimizing curing time. What sets this product apart is its unique viscosity reducer, made entirely of 100% bioglycerol-based molecules, resulting in a smoother and easier pouring process. With Nerpa Polymers Casting Epoxy Lite, your small projects were never easier to make!
Key features:
Low mixed viscosity for efficient air-release
Colourimetry certification passed raw materials to ensure consistent optical clarity
Shielded from rapid yellowing in sunlight through a two-stage complementary UV protection and usage of the components that do not absorb UV light
Accelerator-free controlled cure delivers the best results without harmful additives
One of the key features of this epoxy is its low viscosity, which ensures a smooth and consistent finish and makes it easy to work with. Additionally, low viscosity helps with air release during the curing process, resulting in a flawless and bubble-free final result. With a quick curing time of only 24 to 48 hours (depending on the total volume, the shape of the project and ambient conditions), it's perfect for those who want to get their projects done quickly.

Nerpa Polymers Casting Epoxy Lite utilizes two-stage UV protection paired with the addition of components resistant to UV light exposure, ensuring that your projects will be protected from the sun's harmful rays and maintain their vibrant colour over time. The faster exothermic reaction of this epoxy is an advantage, allowing for a shorter curing time and quicker completion of your projects. Alternatively, If you're looking for a slower curing time and thicker than 1" layers of resin, we recommend using our original Casting Epoxy.
