  AC100 (homeware or...

  Jesmonite AC100 is an Acrylic Composite material supplied in two parts, a powder and a liquid. It is suitable for both decorative castings and glass reinforced laminates, and can be pigmented using the Jesmonite range of water-based pigments. It is also possible to add a range of decorative and functional fillers in order to achieve a wider range of effects and to meet a broader spectrum of specifications.

  Jesmonite AC100 can be used both internally and externally, although external use requires the application of a suitable sealer or external paint system for long-term exposure. It is fire-resistant, having achieved a Class '0' fire rating under UK Building Regulations BS476 (Parts 6&7). Due to its solvent free formulation, AC100 can be cast without damage to rubber moulding compounds, and without limitation to scale. It is also dimensionally stable due to low exothermic reaction, and produces a small amount of expansion on set (1mm/ linear metre).

  .

  AC100 is supplied in separate containers of liquid and powder, and mix ratios are variable to allow for both decorative and functional fillers. Normal casting and laminating requires a mix ratio of 2.5 parts AC100 Powders to 1 Part AC100 Liquids, by weight. A full range of ancillary materials designed specifically for optimum compatibility is available. These include Stone & Metal Fillers, Thixotrope, Retarder, Pigments, and Glass Reinforcements.

  Bespoke Colour matching and Stone finishes are also available. Contact RESINECO for further details.

  AC200 (soft)

  Jesmonite AC200 shares all the same attributes as AC100, however it is designed as a casting or coating compound that can be carved after it has set. AC200 can be cast into a range of moulding compounds, and the resulting material displays remarkable carving and machining properties.

  It has excellent adhesive properties allowing thick layers to be built up onto many substrates such as carved foams and then re-worked to produce fine detail. It is also possible to put a durable hard coat of AC100 over the carved surface or object if required.

  AC200 is supplied in separate containers of liquid and powder, and is mixed at a ratio of 2 parts AC200 powder to 1 part AC200 liquid by weight. It is also fully compatible with the Jesmonite range of ancillary products including Pigments, Glass Reinforcements, & Thixotrope.

• 

  AC300 (casting)

  Jesmonite AC300 has a lower Acrylic Resin content than AC100 and is therefore only suitable for internal decorative use as a casting and laminating compound. It is fully compatible with all Jesmonite ancillary products. Jesmonite AC300 is fire-resistant and has achieved a Class ?0? Fire rating.

  In addition to its standard kit sizes of 35kg and 70kg Jesmonite AC300 is also offered in 420kg and 3500kg bulk kits in order to minimise packaging and transport costs. NB. In this format powders are supplied in bags and therefore the shelf life of the powders is reduced to 3 months.

  The material is mixed at a ratio of 2.5 parts AC300 powders to 1 part AC300 liquids.

  AC730 (stone)

  Jesmonite AC730 is a rapid setting acrylic modified cementitious composite. The system is designed for glass reinforced decorative structures, and can also be used for small castings (see Technical Data sheet TDS730). It is shrinkage compensated material of low permeability and is durable in all conditions of external weathering including water features. The compound has a reduced free-lime content, and is of low alkalinity, leading to major reductions in efflorescence in comparison with ordinary Portland cement systems. The material contains a fine decorative aggregate and powder pigments, carefully controlled to give a consistent decorative surface finish after treatment with a proprietary brick cleaner or acid etch.

  AC730 is available in six stone finishes; Natural, Bathstone, Yellow Sandstone, White Marble, Portland, and Silver Grey Granite. RESINECO offers a bespoke matching service to assist Manufacturers, Architects, and Designers to match any colour scheme and surface finish.

  AC730 FLEX METAL

  Jesmonite AC730 Flex metals are the latest development in Jesmonite materials. They are supplied in three finishes, Bronze, Copper, and Brass, and are designed to be mixed with AC730 Flex liquids to create a metal Gel-Coat that can be applied into moulds, or onto coated substrates such as polystyrene foam pre-coated with AC730. This is an extremely economical way of achieving beautiful metal finishes that have full external durability.

• 

  PIGMENTS

  Jesmonite Pigments are aqueous dispersions compatible with Jesmonite Composites. When dispersed in Jesmonite materials they offer excellent chemical stability, heat stability, and UV resistance.

  NEW ARRIVAL:  NEON Pigments (powder)

  Bespoke pigments and a colour matching service available on request. Call RESINECO for further details.

  Pigments are available in 50g 500gr and 1000g bottles.

  FILLERS

  These are added to Jesmonite AC100 and AC300 to create metal finishes. Metal fillers are available in Bronze, Copper, Brass, Further information on the correct additions and finishing techniques are in the relevant Instruction sheet

  ADITIVES

  Retarder

  Set times of all Jesmonite Composite materials can be extended by the addition of Retarder to increase working time. There is a Retarder for AC100/200/300, and a separate Retarder for the cement based material AC730. Please note that the end user should perform tests in the workshop environment, as extremes of temperature and humidity can effect set times. A guide to addition rates is covered in the Instruction sheets available to download in 'the knowledge' section of this website.

  Thixotrope

  Thixotrope is added so that the viscosity of Jesmonite can be adjusted to the users preference. This is particularly useful when applying a Gel Coat into a mould. By adding Thixotrope it is possible to apply a controlled 1mm ? 3mm layer of material without it running off the mould surface. This also prevents glass reinforcements from showing at the face of laminated objects. Thixotrope can also be used to make the material into a paste, which can be used as a repair filler, and jointing paste for bonding two laminates together.

  Acid Etch

  Acid Etch is used to expose the fine decorative aggregate in Jesmonite AC730 materials. The acid removes the cement rich film from the surface of objects moulded in AC730 to produce a stone finish. When diluted with water it can also be used as a cleaner for removing marks from AC730. Please refer to the AC730 users guide for further technical information.

  FIBERGLASS

  This type of glass reinforcement is tailor made for use with Jesmonite. It is based on the latest multiaxial glass reinforcement technology, which makes Jesmonite fibre-glass laminates light and strong and fire resistant. It is constructed like a lace, with continuous glass strands in four axis (multiaxial) stitched together using the fireproof material Nomex®. There are very few free filaments, making the glass safe and comfortable to use. It can be accurately cut using scissors or roller cutters, and will conform to even the most complex shapes. This makes it especially suitable to mould making and Jesmonite panel construction.
