Castable resins are monomer resins which utilize a catalyst or hardener for polymerization.
Polymerization results in cross-linking of the polymer to form a relatively hard mount. Castable resins also have the advantage of simultaneously mounting multiple samples at one time for increased throughput.
Characteristics of Castable Acrylics
- Rapid mounting
- Very repeatable and consistent mounts
- Moderate shrinkage
- Good hardness
- Semi-transparent
- High odor
