Deep Pour Projects Without Styrene Resin

Why Choose Epoxy Resin for Deep Pours?

Styrene-free epoxy resins are now the preferred choice for deep pour applications. Unlike traditional polyester, epoxy resins such as EpoxyTable 10-Ten and “EpoxyTable 5-Five” offer ultra-low viscosity for improved bubble release and a longer working time. This means your thick resin projects cure clear and smooth, with much less risk of overheating or discolouration during curing.

Selecting the Right Resin by Project Thickness

• Up to 2cm: Use a versatile casting resin like “Trasparente” for details, small tables, or layered pours.
• Between 2 and 5cm: “EpoxyTable 5-Five” is formulated for these depths and is ideal for most tabletops and medium projects.
• Up to 10cm: For the deepest pours, especially large river tables or substantial block castings, “EpoxyTable 10-Ten” offers a low exotherm formula with built-in UV protection to help resist yellowing over time.

For thicker projects, always pour in stages if advised by the manufacturer to control heat and ensure a bubble-free result.

When This Matters: Avoiding Styrene Risks

Opting for modern epoxy resins is particularly important if you are sensitive to odours or want a safer, low-emission workspace. Epoxy resins formulated for deep pours don’t rely on styrene, so you can achieve those dramatic, thick effects indoors more comfortably and with less impact on air quality.
