A1 Base material is a two-component material that consists of a mineral powder and a water-based acrylic resin. A1 base material is best used along with A1 Triaxial Fibre to create a very strong final product be it as a mold support, cast piece or to hard coat a polyfoam carving.
Those who are familiar with Jesmonite will find Acrylic One easy to use.
These components bond to create a very strong material. A1 is environmentally friendly, safe to work with, fire resistant, easy to use and has a fast processing time. Through the use of additional products such as Thixos, powders, pigments, metal powders, retarders/accelerators and more you can adjust the product to your specific needs

It is important to weigh and mix A1 very carefully, based on the following mixing ratio: 1 part A1 Liquid to 2 parts A1 Powder. Fill a mixing cup or bucket with the amount of A1 Liquid required. Use the stainless-steel High Shear Mixer to create a swirl and then add the A1 Powder. Stir the mix until smooth and lump-free and then stir for another 30 seconds. Make sure that the material on the bottom and sides of the cup or bucket is mixed in properly too.
