ArtResin is the most popular brand of clear epoxy resin used by resin artists worldwide.
ArtResinisASTM certified (D-4236)non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-flammable,as there are no VOCs / fumesproduced. ArtResin has only a low odour and is applicator friendly. However, as it still contains a small amount of Bisphenol A, it is recommended that you work in a well ventilated area.
We strongly recommend wearing protective respirator masks when working with this resin due to the fumes emitted during the curing process. We recommend getting ourreusable respirator maskwithorganic vapour cartridgesas they can filter out resin fumes.
Some students have remarked that using ArtResin without a respirator would result in headaches. If you are extremely sensitive to resins, and prefer not to use a respirator, we recommend using Non-Toxic 2-in-1™instead which is completely free from Bisphenol A.
With its superior anti-yellowing properties, ArtResin is ideal for clear coating of artworks. It can also be mixed with resin pigments for resin pours. This resin can be readily pigmented by the addition ofany resin pigments sold in our online store.Adding a drop ofresi-BLASTwill aid increatingcells and lacing effects.
As it dries soft, it may not be suitable for castings of small or thin items as such jewellery pendants (will bend a lot when cured). Hence, we recommend using ArtResin only for artwork coating and resin pours.

As a seasoned expert in the field of resin artistry and epoxy applications, I bring a wealth of firsthand knowledge and a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in working with clear epoxy resins. My experience extends across various brands and products, but today, I'll focus on the renowned ArtResin—an industry leader among resin artists worldwide.
Firstly, it's crucial to establish the credibility of ArtResin, and one notable factor contributing to its popularity is its ASTM certification (D-4236). This certification ensures that the product meets safety standards, assuring users that it is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and non-flammable. Moreover, ArtResin boasts the absence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fumes during application, making it a safer choice for artists and hobbyists alike.
The resin's low odor and applicator-friendly nature enhance the user experience, but a small disclaimer is in order. ArtResin contains a minor amount of Bisphenol A, prompting the recommendation to work in a well-ventilated area. Additionally, due to fumes emitted during the curing process, wearing a protective respirator mask is strongly advised. This speaks volumes about the brand's commitment to user safety.
For those sensitive to resins or averse to using a respirator, an alternative is presented—the Non-Toxic 2-in-1™, which is completely free from Bisphenol A. This demonstrates ArtResin's dedication to catering to a diverse user base with varying preferences and sensitivities.
ArtResin's key advantages, including a 1:1 mix ratio, non-toxic and VOC-free composition, solvent-free formulation, and strong yellowing resistance, position it as an ideal choice for clear coating artworks. The inclusion of UV stabilizers and HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers) further showcases its commitment to maintaining the integrity of artistic creations over time.
The resin's versatility extends to the ability to be pigmented with resin pigments available in their online store, allowing artists to unleash their creativity through vibrant and customized color palettes. The addition of resi-BLAST for creating cells and lacing effects adds another dimension to the artistic possibilities with ArtResin.
It's important to note that while ArtResin dries soft, making it unsuitable for castings of small or thin items like jewelry pendants, it excels in artwork coating and resin pours. The detailed specifications, helpful tips, tutorials, and safety information provided, including the 72-hour curing time for full safety with incidental food contact, underscore the brand's commitment to transparency and user education.
In conclusion, ArtResin stands out as a top-tier choice for resin artists, offering a combination of safety, quality, and versatility that caters to a broad spectrum of artistic endeavors.
