The Science Behind Perfect Results
Bubble-Free Technology
The resin’s self-leveling viscosity and low-surface-tension formula allow trapped air to escape naturally during the curing process. While minor bubbles may appear during pouring, our advanced formulation enables 90% self-defoaming within 5-10 minutes. For absolute perfection, a quick pass with a heat gun (sold separately) eliminates remaining micro-bubbles.
Optical Clarity Guarantee
Traditional resins develop amber tones within months due to photo-oxidation. Our UV-stabilized formula incorporates:
- HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers)
- Premium cycloaliphatic amines
- Non-yellowing hardeners
Independent lab tests show 0% yellowing after 500 hours of accelerated UV exposure—equivalent to 3 years of indoor display.
