EpoxyTable 5-Five is engineered for deep pour applications and delivers considerable performance for demanding furniture and table projects. One of its standout features is its capacity to resist heat in practical contexts.
How Heat Resistant Is EpoxyTable 5-Five?
EpoxyTable 5-Five withstands temperatures up to 70°C. This makes it a suitable resin for tables, countertops, and other interior surfaces where moderate heat exposure is expected. For example, it will comfortably tolerate the warmth from a hot mug or a serving dish, but prolonged contact with items straight from the oven should be avoided to ensure the surface remains pristine.
Best Uses and Application Guidance
This resin is an excellent choice for deep casting projects where a durable, clear finish is required. It is especially valued in the creation of river tables, creative countertops, and artistic woodworking pieces up to 5cm thick. To maximise heat resistance and clarity, always mix according to the specified 100:55 ratio by weight and pour in suitable conditions to avoid overheating and bubbles. For even thicker projects, consider EpoxyTable 10-Ten for pours up to 10cm.
When Does Heat Resistance Matter?
- Dining tables and bar tops exposed to hot cups, plates, or occasional spills
- Creative furniture in sun-facing rooms that may experience warmth
- Areas where both form and function are required, ensuring durability alongside appearance
