Seal Wood with Epoxy Resin

EPODEX offers you an uncomplicated way to seal the wood and other materials at the same time with our epoxy resins. Due to the low viscosity of our resin, the material penetrates the wood and preserves it from the inside out. The added hardener not only ensures that the resin hardens, but also increases the strength of the material. Especially with wooden objects that are often touched, such as tables and jewellery, the resin prevents material shrinkage and scratches due to abrasion. The epoxy layer also acts as UV protection. UV radiation damages untreated wood. The rays lead to the degradation of the lignin component contained in the wood. The result is an optical greying and permanent destruction of the wood. To protect the wood with epoxy resin the application of a thin layer is sufficient. This produces a glazed look. The additional use of colour pigments increases protection as pigments do not let UV rays through.

In our sets of resin and hardeners, you get everything to seal the wood with our epoxy resin. When using clear epoxy, however, UV rays can easily penetrate the wood. Therefore, the additional application of a UV absorber in the form of a topcoat of the polyurethane resin is recommended. This is painted as a final layer on the cured resin. This makes it even more efficient to protect with epoxy resin. In addition to UV resistance, the topcoat increases the resistance to scratches. Polyurethane resin is also used on epoxy floors as well.
