Description
A 83
ALCHEMIX A83 is an aluminium powder that can be added to specific resins to alter the properties.
A 84
ALCHEMIX A84 is a matallic filler consisting of Aluminium granules which can be added to specific resins to alter the properties.
A 85
ALCHEMIX A85 is a mineral filler consisting of Silica sand, which can be added to specific resins to alter the properties.
EP 401
ALCHEMIX GELCOAT EP 401 is a two component, iron filled, brushable, room temperature curing surface coat. GELCOAT EP 401 is designed for use in polyurethane foam moulds, resin injection moulds, foundry patterns and vacuum forming tools.
EP 4060
ALCHEMIX GELCOAT EP 4060 is a two component, aluminium filled, brushable, room temperature curing surface coat. GELCOAT EP 4060 is designed for applications requiring high heat and chemical resistance and negatives where very fine surface finishes are required.
EP 4060C
ALCHEMIX EP 4060C is a two component, unfilled, thixotropic epoxy resin system for use with GELCOAT EP 4060 and ALCHEMIX EP 4350 laminating paste.  ALCHEMIX EP 4060C is specifically formulated for high temperature applications.
EP 424
ALCHEMIX EP 424 is an aluminium filled, two part epoxy casting system formulated for the construction of tools used in vacuum forming machines and the production of prototypes requiring detail and strength. ALCHEMIX EP 424 can also be used as a general purpose casting resin for situations where a high operating temperature is required. ALCHEMIX EP 424 is formulated to have fast cure with minimal shrinkage, and is highly polishable. The low mixed viscosity ensures excellent detail reproduction. A slow hardener is available for very large or deep castings
EP 425
ALCHEMIX EP 425 is an aluminium filled, two part epoxy casting system formulated for high temperature applications, such as vacuum forming tools. ALCHEMIX EP 425 is formulated to have fast cure with minimal shrinkage, and is highly polishable. Heat stability up to of 160°C can be achieved with post curing.
EP 426
ALCHEMIX EP 426 is an aluminium filled, two part epoxy casting system formulated for high temperature applications, such as vacuum forming tools.   ALCHEMIX EP 426 is formulated to have fast cure with minimal shrinkage, and is highly polishable. The low mixed viscosity ensures excellent detail reproduction. A slow hardener is available for very large or deep castings.
EP 435
ALCHEMIX EP435 is enriched with long glass fibre strands, and special fillers in a low-density epoxy resin specially formulated.   After mixing both components a very smooth consistency is achieved with good and easy to spread characteristics. Used as a back filling compound to support rigid Gelcoats and flexible casting compounds.
