AcrylCast Retarders

Description

AcrylCast Retarders are specialized additives that extend the working time of the AcrylCast mineral/acrylic casting system. By slowing the curing process, they offer artists and fabricators increased flexibility for mixing, pouring, or laminating large or detailed projects. This results in smoother finishes, reduced stress during application, and enhanced control over complex casting operations.

These retarders are compatible with all AcrylCast components and maintain the system’s strength, color accuracy, and surface detail. The set time is adjustable based on the dosage used, making them ideal for warm environments or intricate molds. They prevent premature hardening and allow for precise layering and brushing techniques.

AcrylCast Retarders are non-toxic, low-odor, and water-based, making them safe for use in studios, schools, and production settings. They are easy to measure and mix, integrating seamlessly into any AcrylCast formulation. Whether casting, coating, or laminating, these retarders provide the extra time and control needed for professional, high-quality results.

Instructions

AcrylCast Retarders are water-based additives used to extend the working time of AcrylCast mineral/acrylic casting systems. Follow these steps:

1. Add the retarder in small, measured amounts to the liquid component before mixing with powder, following recommended dosage guidelines.
2. Mix thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution. Increased dosage will extend set time.
3. Use in a well-ventilated area.
4. Wear safety glasses and gloves to avoid eye and skin contact. Avoid ingestion.
5. Clean tools with water before the material sets.
6. Store sealed in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
