Description

Clearcast Aluminium Metal Powder is a high-quality metallic filler widely used in cold casting and resin casting applications where improved heat dissipation, strength, and visual impact are required. It is particularly valued in larger casts, where it helps to reduce exotherm and minimise shrinkage, while simultaneously improving the overall strength and stability of the finished piece.

This versatile metal powder is also ideal for producing realistic cold cast aluminium effects, delivering the appearance and feel of solid metal without the weight or cost. When combined with compatible resins, Aluminium Metal Powder creates durable, metallic-looking surfaces suitable for decorative, artistic, and functional applications.

With a fine and consistent particle size distribution, this aluminium powder blends smoothly into resin systems and delivers excellent surface detail. Metal powders are typically added according to the specific requirements of each project. A minimum recommended mixing ratio of 1:1 (metal powder to resin by weight) will achieve a visible metallic effect, while ratios of up to 4 parts metal powder to 1 part resin can be used for a heavier, more authentic metal finish. As resins and casting methods vary, small test mixes are always recommended to determine the optimal ratio.

For the best visual results, dusting the mould surface with aluminium powder before introducing the resin-metal mix is advised. This technique produces a deeper, richer metallic finish. Different metal powders can also be blended together to create custom effects, provided they are thoroughly mixed before use. Please note that, as with most metal powders, slight colour variations may occur between batches.

Works as thermally conductive adjunct to siliconeReviewed by Onleybl on 26 Jun 2025

I needed a high volume of thermally conductive adhesive. Mixed this 1:1 with high temperature silicone and it worked like a treat. Much cheaper than copper per litre and not that much less conductive.

Doming resin. with some other resins I have found that when I put the dome in a keyring, after some time it curls up! Will this resin do this please?
Hi Una. I really can't comment. I depends on the viscosity of the resin on the day. I would hate to give you the wrong info as i have never tried it. So sorry to be negative on this question.
