NEW! Smooth-Cast ONYX Deep Black Plastic
Smooth-Cast ONYX is a mercury-free urethane resin that cures quickly at room temperature to a deep black, solid plastic. ONYX offers the convenience of a 1A:1B by volume mix ratio and has a very low viscosity, so it is easy to mix and pour. ONYX has an ultimate shore hardness of 80D and offers higher physical properties and higher heat resistance vs. other general purpose resins.
Applications include reproducing sculpture, making prototypes and potting / encapsulation. Because ONYX is a fast curing resin and becomes hard quickly, it is also great for doing fast cold cast bronze, brass, copper, nickel/silver, etc.
Advantages that ONYX offers over other resins:
- ONYX is less expensive vs. other black resins
- Cured plastic is ultra-black and darker than other black resins
- Cured ONYX plastic can be polished and buffed to a high gloss shine
- ONYX offers higher heat resistance (to 200°F /94°C at room temperature) vs. other black resins
- Unlike other black resins, ONYX does not contain mercury
- If you desire a black casting, adding color pigment is not necessary
