  • Resin is odorless and causes no irritation, so you can work with natural ventilation without special technique,
  • Shrinkage less than 0.5 % gives your models high dimensional accuracy,
  • Resin does not contain solvents, volatile monomers, or irritating compounds. Fumes, odor and allergic reactions are not expected,
  • Resin keeps a luminescence effect up to 2 hours after full “charging”.

Properties

  • Appearance – Opaque liquid
  • Color – Yellow
  • Odor – None
  • Luminescence – Up to 2h
