* Bio-based carbon is the share of carbon atoms that come from plant sources rather than fossil sources. "Resin part" is Part A on its own; "mixed" covers resin and hardener together and is usually lower, because most hardeners contain less bio-based carbon. Figures from the manufacturer's technical datasheets. The Crystal Clear Epoxy figure is tested to ASTM D6866.
Our water-based products replace solvents with water and contain no VOCs. We don't describe them as bio-based.
CMR means carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction.
Technical data from the manufacturer's datasheets, measured at 23 °C unless stated. Always test before use and read the safety data sheet.
