1. Acrylic One is a water based resin system Acrylic One is suitable for making pieces of art amp art objects panels facade ornaments and frames moulds supporting moulds decorations design furniture and more Acrylic One s special composition makes it easy to use en vironmentally friendly and fire resistant ne can take on any shape or form Which means it for making manually formed shapes and enables architect to produce One of a kind products ryli Acrylic One is also very suitable for making product ranges by using casting or laminating in any desired quantity Acrylic One looks like ivory stone without additives or colo rants and is as hard as composite Read more about how to work with Acrylic One and which additives and fillers are available in this user manual Technical data Mixing ratio 2 parts powder 1 part acrylic resin Colour creamy white 1 Density wet 1 75 kg dm3 Density dry 1 66 kg dm3 Processing time 20 minutes Demoulding time approx 1 hour Shelf life 1 year 2 Hardness 85 Shore D Expansion during hardening lt 0 1 Compression strength approx 30 MPa LOP limit of proportionality approx 20 MPa MOR modulus of rupture approx 60 MPa 1 The colour of Acrylic One can vary slightly with every production batch 2 Provided that lic Ones i ed in a closed and frost free packaging Two component material Acrylic One is a two component material and consi2. several layers The advantages are 1 component free of solvents water based quick drying easy to ap ply good UV resistance excellent adhesion dirt resistant and water resistant Data Minimum processing temperature 10 C Average use 8 10 m2 per litre Shelf life 1 year in closed packaging Storage frost free and protected against direct sunlight Fillers Acrylic One can be filled with various materials such as pigments sand and stone organic fillers and lightweight fillers This means the look of Acrylic One can be adjusted to the wishes and requirements of the user A number of fil lers affect the weather resistance Acrylic One can be pain ted after it is ready but can also be coloured beforehand by using pigments The pigments are added into the resin before mixing The maximum quantity of pigment is 2 of the total weight or 6 of the resin weight There are various metal pow ders available which can be added to Acrylic One to achieve a metal effect When you would like to achieve a rusted effect use the iron po wer Add an equal amount of iron powder as the amount of powder used to produce Acrylic One When the applied layer had dried it needs to be sanded using a wet scourer or waterproof sanding paper The surface can now be treated with hydrochloric acid ammonia or any other agent of your choice This accelerates the rusting process When the desired effect is achieved the proc

5. gel coat and as a paste to fill up textures We recommend that you do not use this product if the object is expected to be exposed to water as this product s water resistance is lower Alternati vely you can apply a good protective layer Acrylic One dilute reduces the viscosity of Acrylic One It can be used to cast complicated products or to enable the use of more than one filler Acrylic One dilute can affect the processing time Never use more than 5 Acrylic One dilute in proportion to the total weight Acrylic One Sealer is a water based coating to protect the product against moisture and to give the product a weather resistant qua lity TNO testing has shown that Acrylic One if applied cor rectly with a Sealer can last for approximately 30 years We can supply you with the TNO report on request Acrylic One Sealer is a concentrated solution of acryl poly mers in water Always add 20 water to Acrylic One Sealer before use The work surface must be free of wax oil dirt and dust Apply the sealer with a brush roller brushing with a soft cloth or with a spray Acrylic One Sealer can be applied in one or more layers to improve the pro tective qualities of the layer A second layer can be applied after 45 minutes depending on the temperature and humidity When applying the sealer with a soft cloth one layer of Acry lic One Sealer will result in a satin mat ted gloss More gloss is achieved by applying
6. gents When using moulds the level of release will need to be checked When the moulding material is not self releasing a release agent will need to be applied It is possible to apply an Acrylic One gel coat layer at the stage that the moulds are prepared and set up As soon as this layer has dried after 20 minutes the object can be cast immedia tely to ensure optimum adhesion between the gel coat and the cast material The required amount of Acrylic One is mixed in It is also possible to add fillers such as Poraver nylon fibres or other fillers Some fillers affect the curing time We advise you to test this beforehand to ascertain the correct curing time Furthermore fillers can also affect the weatherproof level of an object should the object not be covered by one or more layers of sealer An accelerator or retarder can be used when the curing time needs to be adjusted Now carefully pour the Acrylic One in the deepest part of the mould Keep pouring until the mould is filled up and let the Acrylic One harden Depending on the duration of the curing time and the shape of the product it is possible to remove the product from the mould after approximately 40 minutes Fragile shapes could take longer to set Casting Silicone moulds are the easiest products to use for casting The silicone moulds are self releasing and flexible Small objects can be cast in a detached mould Larger products can be cast in a mould with suppor
