Colour paste
A colour paste is a pigment paste, which can impart a transparent or opaque colour to resin. For example, a quantity of polyurethane colour paste can be added to a casting resin to give the resin the desired colour. Polyurethane colour pastes are known for their strong colouring power.

EP resin - epoxy resin
The resin component is prepared by condensation and addition of epichlorohydrin and a divalent or multivalent phenol derivative. The reaction between these two raw materials produces the epoxy resin. The epoxy group found twice in each molecule of the resin is highly reactive and can react with appropriate substances called hardeners. Polyamines and polyamides are most commonly used as hardeners. These substances are able to open the ring at the epoxy group by possessing reactive hydrogen atoms. The curing process is an exothermic reaction, so heat is released. for more info, see: https://shop.v-sure.eu//nl/producten/epoxy
Kiesel filter
A germ filter is a filter used to purify water in ponds and swimming pools. Kiesel filters, sponge filters or filter cloths have such coarse openings that the fine turbidifying dust particles pass through them. These so-called coarse filters can only become effective in combination with flocculants (such as aluminium sulphate). These flocculants are shaken into the water and cause the fine turbidifying particles to coalesce into larger clumps so that they can be collected. To filter the finest particles, one should use a diatomaceous earth filter.

Epoxy
Epoxy or polyepoxide is a chemical compound. It is an epoxide polymer composed of 2 carbon atoms (C) and 1 oxygen atom (O) in a ring-shaped structure. Epoxy distinguishes itself from polyester by, for example, greater flexibility, the fact that it adheres to almost any surface and the fact that it yellows under the influence of UV and therefore has to be finished with UV-resistant lacquer. for more information, see https://shop.v-sure.eu//en/knowlegde-center/inspiration/creating-a-river-table/
Casting resin
Casting resin is a modern material, which can be processed easily and without great expense. The expertly correct name is 'unsaturated polyester resin' or 'polyester resin' for short. The two components, namely the syrupy polyester resin and a hardener, are mixed in a certain ratio, whereupon a chemical reaction begins that causes the resin to harden completely within a few hours. Since neither a special temperature (room temperature is sufficient) nor pressure is required for this process, anyone can easily manufacture cast resin pieces. By casting in polyester resin, decorative objects with utility value can be manufactured, such as paperweights, bookends, lampshades, medallions, key rings, coasters, etc., among others.
