Jesmonite AC100 (Full kits)

Jesmonite AC100

Jesmonite AC100 is a water-based, two-component (acrylic polymer and mineral resin) system from Jesmonite®.

The system is suitable for a wide range of casting and laminating applications where the end user wants to reduce the many risks associated with conventional solvent based systems. A range of ancillary products including decorative and functional fillers, control chemicals, pigments, and glass reinforcements are also provided making the material extremely versatile. The material is suitable for internal and external use, however if used externally a sealer or suitable paint system is recommended to protect surface appearance.

Packaging

Liquids are supplied in 1kg, 5kg, and 25kg canisters, Base in 5kg and 25kg buckets and 25kg Valve Sacks. Bulk IBC/FIBC supply available on request.

Storage

As a basic rule liquid containers should be kept well sealed to prevent water evaporation and skin forming. They should be stored at a constant temperature between 5 – 25°C and used within twelve months. Freezing must be avoided. Base should be kept dry and stored at 5 – 25°C and used within 9 months.
