Polyester Clear Casting Resin for Statues, Idols and Decorative Articles

The catalogue lists three uses for SPR 201 CC: statues and idols, decorative articles and artefacts, and furniture top coats. In practice that covers workshops producing cast figures and devotional pieces, small decorative items and souvenirs made in silicone or FRP moulds, and furniture makers who want a clear resin layer over a finished surface. Deep river tables and jewellery pours are the territory of the epoxy grade and its own guides, such as the epoxy casting-process guide.

The catalogue gives SPR 201 CC a clear liquid appearance, a viscosity of 350–450 cPs, a gel time under 8 minutes and 33–40% styrene. It is supplied non-accelerated, so the workshop sets its own MEKP and cobalt octoate dosage. That fast gel suits short production cycles, but it also means the working window after catalysing is short, so batches should be sized to what can be poured in time. Depth per pour and finished-surface properties are not published for this grade; establish them with trials on your own moulds. The SPR 201 CC knowledge hub explains the grade in more detail.

A typical workshop prepares a clean silicone or FRP mould with a suitable release, weighs out only as much resin as can be poured within the gel time, and adds pigment or filler if the design calls for it. The catalogue reference cure for SPR 201 CC is MEKP 1.5% with cobalt octoate 0.4%. The peroxide and the cobalt accelerator are added to the resin separately, one after the other with mixing in between; a concentrated peroxide is never mixed directly with cobalt. The mixed resin is poured or brushed on, left to cure at room temperature and then demoulded and finished. For furniture top coats the resin is applied over a prepared, dry surface. The figures are typical catalogue values that describe the grade, not batch guarantees, and dosage for your workshop temperature is settled by trial.
