  • Stone Cast is a two-part polyurethane system designed for open or closed molding of structural and decorative parts. It has been engineered for use at 100% solids, or with a variety of fillers to achieve the desired balance of properties and economic requirements.
  • Fast cycle times, 15 minute demold for large parts, increases productivity with fewer molds.
  • The finished filled weight of Stone Cast is 20% less than polyester.
  • Product can be post-painted with polyurethane or water-based paints, or in-mold coated utilizing gel coats, with no delamination. Gel-coats offer outstanding weather-ability with varying faux finishes.
  • High-heat resistance reduces potential finished part warping and sag in outdoor applications (see heat distortion properties with 15% glass mat wet-out in Stone Cast).
  • Low exothermic reaction (over 100°F lower than polyester), extends expensive silicone mold life.
  • Low CET translates to minimal expansion/contraction while maintaining adhesion to metal and other materials over a wide temperature range.
  • Low viscosity and great wet-out characteristics reproduce intricate mold detail.
  • Versatility - realistic re-creation of almost any surface e.g. wood grain, stone, granite, metallic.
  • 100% solids, No VOC’s; low toxicity, EPA compliant.
  • Stone Cast will readily wet out a variety of low cost fillers offered throughout the industry.
  • Easy to process, no expensive equipment required, hand-mix and pour parts up to 200 lb.
  • Inexpensive equipment and set-up training available for larger, more complex mold cavitiesMinimal waste/scrap when producing parts.
