Jesmonite AC100 Starter Kit

The Jesmonite AC100 Starter Kit will let you take your work to a new level. This set comes with high-quality materials to produce works of art. Savor the elegant craftsmanship of Jesmonite and let your creativity run crazy.

Jesmonite Pigments are aqueous dispersions compatible with Jesmonite composites. When dispersed in Jesmonite materials they offer excellent chemical stability, heat stability, and UV resistance. 2% will produce a strong, saturated color. For lighter colors simply reduce the addition rate until the desired color is achieved. Pigments can also be intermixed to produce any color.

High-shear Mixing Blades are essential for the proper mixing of all Jesmonite composite materials. They are specifically designed for adding Jesmonite Base into Jesmonite Liquids. The mixing action reduces air bubbles and ensures that the mix is smooth and free from lumps.

APPLICATION AREAS

Cast and laminated decorative moldings, and with the inclusion of suitable glass reinforcements AC100 can be used for lightweight, high-impact panels. Jesmonite AC100 provides a fire-resistant coating for many expanded foams for theme park and theatre props.

KEY ATTRIBUTES

Solvent-free – No VOCs

Good abrasion resistance and impact strength

High compressive and tensile strength

Rapid curing and high early strength gain

STORAGE

As a basic rule liquid containers should be kept well sealed to prevent water evaporation and skin forming. They should be stored at a constant temperature between 5 – 25°C and used within twelve months. Freezing must be avoided. The base should be kept dry and stored at 5 – 25°C and used within 9 months.
