Our Flexible Resin
Our flexible doming epoxy resin, marketed under the DOMINGFLEX brand name, has been developed by Coniex for application in labels and other products using the resin drop process. This type of resin is an ideal alternative to polyurethane resin, thanks to its excellent finish quality, low cost and easy application.
DOMINGFLEX is an epoxy resin that is completely free of bisphenol A, which is a hazardous substance due to its harmful effects on health. DOMINGFLEX complies with all current regulations, being able to certify its absence of toxicity if necessary.
Doming epoxy resin is characterized by its low hardness, so the final result after application by resin drop will be a flexible and elegant product. In our catalog of flexible epoxy resins we have different hardnesses to obtain different flexibilities.
Advantages of Domingflex
Doming resins provide a clear coating after application using the resin drop process, also known as doming. Doming resins are two-component epoxy resins with a very glossy final appearance and greater resistance to UV ageing and yellowing.
Thanks to years of investment in research and development, DOMINGFLEX resins manufactured by Coniex offer many important advantages over other doming resins on the market.
· They do not require special facilities or costly processes for application —there is no need for a highly climate-controlled room or vacuum degassing of the mixture.
· They generate virtually no bubbles during the mixing of the two components. Other doming resins produce bubbles that are difficult to eliminate due to the nature of this type of resin.
· As an epoxy resin, it may yellow over time, but thanks to the UV protectors developed in our R&D laboratories, this yellowing takes much longer to appear, especially when comparing DOMINGFLEX with other epoxy resins on the market.
Other advantages, which DOMINGFLEX shares with other doming epoxy resins, are:
- It is an affordable resin that offers a high added value to the product.
- Protects the printed area against tears, scratches and various substances.
- Protects against moisture and water.
- Thanks to this protection, the product on which DOMINGFLEX is applied is more resistant and therefore more durable and less prone to breakage.
- It provides differentiating effects to the product, such as a 3D relief sensation, or a magnifying glass effect.
- Provides shine and volume.
Greater elegance and improved product aesthetics
DOMINGFLEX – Flexible Epoxy Resin for Doming
DOMINGFLEX is our flexible epoxy resin developed for resin drop applications on labels and decorative products. An efficient alternative to polyurethane, offering an excellent finish, lower cost, and easy application.
Application of our flexible epoxy resin doming
Although the most common application of doming resin is on labels made from various materials, it can also be applied to other products such as keyrings,
medals, magnets, pins, promotional items, pens, badges, pocket mirrors, etc.
DOMINGFLEX allows short and customised production runs to be carried out in a highly profitable and cost-effective way, since, as mentioned above, no investment or special conditions are required for its application.
It can be applied both manually and automatically, and no costly installations are required. For successful application, simply follow the instructions included in the product data sheet. This prevents bubble formation and ensures an excellent product finish.
Below, we provide some tips for the correct development of the resin drop process:
- It is advisable to use a level, which helps to ensure that the surface on which the resin is applied is completely flat.
- DOMINGFLEX is a two-component system and must be used with its DOMINGFLEX-B hardener to cure correctly. The correct mixing ratio is: 100 parts DOMINGFLEX-A to 40 parts DOMINGFLEX-B.
- In a resin drop process it is essential to use the right quantities. Once the resin has been applied, we recommend waiting between one and two minutes to check if we have applied enough resin, so that we can add more resin if necessary. After approximately 30 minutes, the resin begins to dry and at this point no further modifications can be made.
- Make sure that the process is carried out in a clean place, where there is no excess dust or humidity.
Application of doming resin for labels
In the world of graphic arts and advertising it is common to find labels coated with a flexible transparent layer, which in addition to giving a touch of great elegance to the label, also offers protection against external agents.
This spectacular 3D effect is achieved by applying a flexible doming epoxy resin to the label. This application is carried out by means of a process called resin drop.
Elegant design and quality printing are the basis for an elegant label. The application of DOMINGFLEX will allow you to differentiate your product from the competition thanks to a quality and elegance unmatched in the flexible doming resin market.
Our colour chart is extensive and varied, but we can also create custom epoxy resin on demand when our customers require a special or uncommon colour. Our technical department can develop this new colour from a sample, or from a colour in the RAL® or PANTONE® charts.
