FortonMG - Acrylic Resin

FortonMG - High strength, lightweight finish casting resin

The FortonMG system is an acrylic, non-toxic casting resin consisting of FGR 95 Gypsum Plaster and VF812 Acrylic Resin. This material produces a high strength lightweight cast, ideal for small as well as large casting projects, ornamentation, and decorative arts.

No hazardous materials are used in the manufacturing process and no hazardous waste products are generated. Washes up in water. FortonMG can be used to solid cast, slush cast or hand lay up in any silicone mould.  FortonMG demoulds in 1 hour (or sooner if accelerant is used).

Can be used as a casting material, as well as for making rigid cases for silicone and latex molds.

Architectural modelling / Architectural casting

FortonMG can be used for architectural and landscape art projects with the addition of two additives called Melamine resin, and Ammonium Chloride. These are added dry to the  FortonMG base prior to measuring and mixing the material.

Production casting

An accelerant is also available to speedup the setting of FortonMG to achieve increased production of pieces from fewer molds. Care should be taken when using this additive to ensure sufficient time is allowed for processing the material.
