Table Top Epoxy Resin Manufacturers In Kochi

Tabletop epoxy resin is a type of two-part thermosetting polymer used primarily to coat surfaces like tables, countertops, bar tops, art projects, and more. It provides a clear, glossy, durable, and waterproof finish that enhances the look of the underlying surface while offering protection.

Here's a detailed breakdown of tabletop epoxy resin:

🔹 Basic Components

Resin (Part A): Clear, viscous liquid that forms the base.

Hardener (Part B): Activates the chemical reaction (curing process) when mixed with resin.

🔹 Key Properties

Property Description

Mix Ratio Usually 1:1 by volume (resin:hardener), but always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Working Time 20–45 minutes (varies by brand and ambient temperature).

Cure Time Initial cure in 12–24 hours, full cure in 72 hours or more.

Viscosity Medium to high; designed to self-level.

UV Resistance Some formulas include UV inhibitors, but yellowing may occur over time if not UV-protected.

Glossiness Very high gloss; mirror-like finish when properly applied.

Durability Scratch- and water-resistant, but not heat-proof unless specially formulated.

Thickness Ideal for thin pours (1/8” to 1/4” per layer). Not suitable for deep casting unless specified.

🔹 Applications

Bar and tabletops

Countertops

Art pieces (like resin geodes or river tables)

Coating photographs, wood, stone, or canvas

Jewelry and decorative items (smaller versions)

🔹 Advantages

High clarity and shine

Self-leveling

Moisture-resistant

Adheres to various materials (wood, metal, glass, ceramics, concrete, etc.)

Good impact resistance

🔹 Disadvantages

Sensitive to mixing ratios (inaccurate mixing can cause curing issues)

Can yellow over time without UV inhibitors

Surface can scratch (a polyurethane topcoat can help prevent this)

Requires proper ventilation during use (due to fumes)

Not heat-resistant above 120–150°F unless specially formulated

🔹 Tips for Best Results

Mix slowly to reduce bubbles.

Use a heat gun or torch to pop bubbles after pouring.

Work in a dust-free environment.

Pour in thin layers to prevent overheating or improper curing.

Protect from UV light if long-term clarity is important.
