Choosing Epoxy Resin for High Scratch Resistance

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.
