← Back to What is epoxy resin?


Scratch resistance is a key quality for epoxy resin projects that will face daily wear, such as coasters, tabletops, and decorative trays. Selecting the right resin helps maintain a glossy, smooth appearance over time.
What Makes Epoxy Resin Scratch Resistant?
Epoxy resin cures to form a hard, protective surface. Certain formulations, like Art Pro, are specially developed for scratch resistance, offering a tougher finish ideal for surfaces exposed to abrasion and repeated use. Integrated UV filtering also helps preserve clarity and appearance.


Recommended Uses and Application Tips
- For artistic finishes and surface protection, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry surfaces.
- Allow the resin to fully cure (usually 12–24 hours for top coats) before placing items or cleaning.
- Use resins like “Art Pro” for surface coatings or “Trasparente” for casts up to 2cm, ensuring scratch resistance paired with a glossy, clear look.
Clean epoxy surfaces gently with a soft cloth to avoid dulling or micro-abrasions over time.
When High Scratch Resistance Matters Most
If you’re making coasters, trays, tables, or jewellery likely to experience regular handling, using a high scratch-resistant resin can prolong your work’s beauty and safeguard against everyday marks.
