ARC - Acrylic Resin Composite

Acrylic Resin Australia Made

ARC, also known as Acrylic Resin Composite, is Just Resin's versatile and environmentally friendly eco resin. It features a mineral powder base and a water-based acrylic liquid binder that effectively combines all components. This unique casting resin has gained popularity for its strength and ease of use in recent years.

While utilising regular water for curing is an option, it may result in a weaker finished product. By incorporating the water-based acrylic resin, the material's strength significantly increases. With an opaque white to off-white colour and semi-gloss or gloss finish, it's essential not to mistake this for epoxy resin.

Proudly made in Australia, ARC is available in various sizes - 1.75kg, 3.5Kg, 7Kg, 14Kg, and 28Kg kits - for nationwide shipping. What sets this product apart is its minimal need for harsh solvents or thinners; the water-based acrylic binder alone provides stunning results every time.

It's A Better Eco Resin Choice

ARC, a product of Just Resin, offers a unique and eco-friendly formula. Unlike traditional resins, it is free from harmful chemicals like VOCs, making it safe for both you and the environment. This means it can be used indoors without any concerns. Thanks to its water-based acrylic liquid, cleanup is a breeze without the need for harsh solvents or thinners.

Not only does ARC provide a safer option for resin casting, but it also yields stunning results with its hard-wearing and low viscosity properties. The mineral powder base allows for endless colour possibilities, giving you complete control over your creations. At Just Resin, we stand behind our commitment to providing top-quality casting products that are user-friendly and produce professional-looking results every time.

Create Plaster Art Using Water Based Acrylic Resin

In order to create stunning plaster art, it is important to choose the right product. ARC acrylic casting resin is the ideal choice for this task. Make sure you have all the necessary materials and accessories such as ARC pigments and mixing cups.

• Take 2.5 parts of mineral powder base and 1 part liquid, following the recommended ratio, and mix them well. 
  Then add approximately 80% of this mixture into water-based acrylic liquid and stir until a smooth paste forms.
• Next, add the remaining liquid and continue mixing until everything is well combined. For an added touch, tinting ARC with acrylic resin pigments is perfect. Begin with a few drops and gradually increase until desired colour is achieved, being careful not to exceed a 2% ratio in relation to the total weight of the mixture. 
• Once poured into desired moulds or shapes, allow enough time for demolding (usually around 35-40 minutes for ARC resin). However, be aware that some coloured pigments may affect demolding time slightly depending on factors like weather conditions or type of silicone mould used (especially enclosed moulds). 
• It is also important to consider the pot life of the mixture - which is the working time after combining liquid and powder - before starting your project.
• Once fully cured, ARC exhibits a beautiful white/off-white satin finish which can be further enhanced through sanding, sealing or polishing with wax polish or coated in epoxy if desired.
