Fillers and Effects Powders

Fillers and Effects Powders

Fillers and effects powders are often added to casting resins to change the properties of the plastic, lower the weight or achieve a variety of finishes including metal, stone, porcelain, marble, wood, etc.

URE-FIL™ Fillers

URE-FIL fillers disperse easily in Smooth-On materials. They can be added to materials in different proportions to achieve a variety of working properties and effects. Some fillers are designed for cost-savings, others are designed for specific casting effects or improved physical properties. Other URE-FIL fillers are designed specifically for thickening materials for brush-on or trowelable application.
  1. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 3

    URE-FILTM 3

    Added to polyurethane resins and castable epoxies to reduce cost. Recommended starting mix ratio is 1A to 1B to 1 part URE-FIL™ 3.

  2. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 5

    URE-FILTM 5

    Best choice for creating a wood grain effect. Mix 1 part filler with 1A:1B of Smooth-Cast™ 320 resin and cast into mould.

  3. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 7

    URE-FILTM 7

    Improve castable plastic dimensional stability or create marble effects. Maximum ratio before compromising the physical properties is 1A:1B to 2 parts filler.

  4. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 9

    URE-FILTM 9

    Create casting effects or thicken liquid material for trowelable casting applications. Added in small amounts until the desired viscosity is achieved.

  5. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 11

    URE-FILTM 11

    Fibre-based filler that can be added to Smooth-On polyurethane and silicone rubbers, polyurethane plastics and epoxies to thicken for brush-on applications.

  6. URE-FIL<sup>TM</sup> 15

    URE-FILTM 15

    Micro-balloons that can be added to Smooth-On polyurethane plastics and epoxies to create very light weight castings.

Metal Powders

“Cold-Casting” is a term used to describe the process of mixing metal powder with a resin and applying the mixture into a mould. The mixture is then “slush-cast” or brushed onto the mould surface until the resin cures. The gel coat is then back-filled with straight resin, resin mixed with metal powder, or Foam-iT!™ rigid foam. The metal cold-cast process is faster and much less expensive when compared with foundry casting of molten metal.

    Cast MagicTM

    Powders used to add an endless variety of bright metallic, glitter & colour effects to finished castings.

  2. Glow Worm<sup>TM</sup> Glow Powder

    Glow WormTM Glow Powder

    Phosphorescent powders can be added to liquid plastics, rubbers and foams to create castings that glow in the dark after being charged with light.

  3. Quarry Tone<sup>TM</sup> Granite FX Fillers

    Quarry ToneTM Granite FX Fillers
