Achieving Resistance to Surface Temperatures up to 200°C

Understanding High Temperature Resistance in Resin

Not all resins are created equal when it comes to heat tolerance. For applications like coasters, trays, or decorative surfaces that encounter extreme heat—think hot mugs or pans—a resin specifically engineered for high temperatures is a must. Using the wrong type may cause discolouration, warping, or permanent marks over time.

Choosing a Resin for Surface Temperatures up to 200°C

A specialised product, such as “Heat Pro” – Flexible Heat-Resistant Glossy Coating, is formulated to withstand regular exposure to up to 200°C on small to medium surfaces. It offers not just heat resistance, but also resilience against scratches and impacts—ideal for items like resin coasters and serving trays. Its elastic nature allows it to absorb minor impacts while staying glossy and transparent.

• Recommended for surfaces up to 0.5 m²
• Simple 100:75 mixing ratio
• Self-levelling for smooth finishes

Buying and Usage Tips

For projects expecting high, direct heat, always check the resin’s specifications for temperature limits. Stick to the advised coverage—products like “Heat Pro” are best for areas under 0.5 m² to ensure even performance. Allow sufficient curing time (typically 24 hours at room temperature) before exposing the surface to heat, and avoid using on large tables or with untested acrylic bases.
