As part of Faux Rizzle ongoing efforts to provide our customers with the best quality epoxy/resin on the market, we have designed this product to be healthier, cleaner, and safer, especially for those with resin allergies. Specifically, we have removed four specific ingredients that have been identified as having harmful side effects, which include triggering allergic reactions in those with a sensitivity to resin. Those ingredients and their side effects are:
Nonylphenol:
-
Hormonal disruption (endocrine)
-
Extreme aquatic toxicity
-
Skin and eye irritation
-
Reproductive harm
-
Birth defects
-
Promotes proliferation of breast cancer cells
Bisphenol-A:
-
Hormonal disruption, especially in fetuses, babies, and children
-
Brain and behavior problems
-
Cancer
-
Heart problems
Isobenzyl Alcohol:
-
Application site irritation, reduced sensation, and/or loss of sensation
-
Severe itching
-
Reddening of the skin
-
Irritation of the eye
-
Vision problems
-
Pain
-
Rashing
Trifunctional Amines:
-
Severe skin burns
-
Eye damage
-
If inhaled, destructive to respiratory tissues
-
Individuals who experience less severe reactions can still experience:
-
Application site irritation, reduced sensation, and/or loss of sensation
-
Severe itching
-
Reddening of the skin
-
Irritation of the eye
-
Vision problems
-
Pain
-
Rashing
-
In removing these harmful ingredients, we not only created a safer, healthier, and hypoallergenic resin, we ended up creating an resin that is clearer, cures harder, and has an easier to mix viscosity. While we always recommend the use of adequate PPE and ventilation procedures when working with any chemicals, we stand by the health and safety benefits of our new resin.
Nouveau’s benefits include:
- Easier to pump and mix due to identical viscosity between parts A and B
- Cures 30% harder than other resins
- Increased scratch-resistance
- Crystal clear transparency for Parts A and B
- Heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit
- BPA-free
- No benzyl alcohol
- No nonylphenol
- No toxic fumes or solvents
- Extremely UV resistant
Please note that Nouveau was not developed with thin-mil applications in mind, including tumblers.
While it is possible to pour a tumbler with Nouveau and achieve a smooth, crystal-clear, glossy finish, it
does require some extra attention to do so. Reach out to our staff if you have any questions on how to
use Nouveau to make your next tumbler!
Various sizes include:
- 2 quart kit = 1 quart part A + 1 quart part B
- 1 gallon kit = 2 quarts part A + 2 quarts part B
- 2 gallon kit = 1 gallon part A + 1 gallon part B
