Crystal Clear Epoxy

Crystal-clear laminating and coating system for visible carbon and high-gloss clear coats.

42% bio-based carbon in the resin part*

A crystal-clear laminating and coating system with good UV stability. Absolutely clear on carbon fibre, it levels to a bubble-free finish by squeegee, brush or roller, and leaves virtually no free amines, so polyester finish coats cure on top without inhibition. Made for laminates and coatings in thin layers, not deep casting.

* 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.

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.
