Xencast® P2 is an easy-to-use, cost- surface detail and reliability. It is recommended for miniatures, figures, models, patterns, sculptures, prototypes and production parts, in fact resin casting of just about any kind!
P2 cures white or can be pigmented any colour. It typically has a 2-3min pot-life and can be demoulded in 10-20 minutes.
Sold as a kit (Part A and Part B). Available to buy online in 1kg, 2kg, 4kg and 10kg kits.

Xencast® P2 is an easy-to-use fast-cast polyurethane resin system capable of producing highly detailed castings which can be demoulded within around 10-20 mins. Its unique formulation has been developed to offer the best possible results across a wide range of applications including miniatures, figures, models, patterns, sculptures, prototypes and production parts.
P2 has been formulated for maximum reliability and so requires no degassing and no other specialist equipment. Its low viscosity and modified flow properties result in superior surface detail with minimal air entrapment.
Xencast® P2 pu casting resin is compatible with a wide range of mould materials, fillers, pigments and additives making it the perfect all-purpose casting resin whilst the fast cure time reduces waiting and increases productivity.
Whether you're new to casting or a seasoned professional you're sure to get excellent results with this highly regarded resin system.
Typical Uses
In conjunction with a suitable mould, Xencast® P2 fast cast resin can be used to all manner of cast parts including beautifully detailed figurines, RPG miniatures, models, patterns, prototype parts, foundry patterns, sculptures, fishing lures, ornaments and architectural features.
With the addition of ATH filler powder, Xencast® P2 can also be used to reproduce large sculptures, whereas the addition of metal powders and pigments makes it possible to 'cold cast' bronzes and other authentic-looking metallic castings.
Advantages
How to Buy
The resin is available in a choice of 1kg, 2kg and 4kg kits, each containing the correct ratios of Part A and Part B.
The 2kg kit is also available as part of the Xencast Resin Casting Starter Kit.

Glass Bubbles can be added to most resins to reduce the density of the cured material. However, bear in mind that they will reduce the clarity of the GlassCast resin, making it more of a translucent 'milky' appearance rather than transparent.
In our experience, the minimum diameter hole we would recommend is 6mm.
Yes, it would be possible to cast Xencast P2 into an aluminium mould, however, it would be important to use an appropriate release agent on the mould, otherwise the P2 will bond strongly to the aluminium. From our range, Easy-Lease CR1 would NOT be suitable (as it doesn't work effectively for polyurethanes) but waxes like Number 8 Wax or RW4 Spray Wax would be suitable.
The P2 can be painted once fully cured no problem. Sand and clean the surface in accordance with the paint suppliers recommendation and then most modern paints can be applied directly. Some specialist paints may need a standard plastics primer using first for best adhesion.
You would need to do a test with the specific vinyl. Some grades of vinyl may lift or curl when under the resin so doing a test is the safest way to check that your vinyl label will work as intended.
The pigment is made up of mainly pigment powder with a small amount of the polyol Part A which means when adding the pigment, you should always add it to part A, to avoid any reaction occurring.
Due to the fact that only a very small amount of the weight of the pigment is resin (Part A), and pigment pastes are only added at low percentages themselves, it is generally not necessary to adjust the mix ratio of the resin when adding a pigment and so you should mix - for example: (100g resin part A + 5g pigment) with (100g resin part B).
Not if you want them to be actually squishy! The Xencast P2 is great for copying vinyl toys and figures but it does cure to a solid (totally rigid) plastic. If you want the parts you cast to be semi-flexible (like vinyl toys are) then you would need to use our PX90 Hard Rigid Polyurethane Casting Resin.
Once fully cured, the P2 FastCast Resin is waterproof and should not be effected by water.
Although inert once fully cured, Xencast P2 has not undergone specific testing and approval for food contact.
This resin, once allowed to fully cure, can be machined and turned to produce blanks no problem. However the resin is not clear, it cures to an ivory opaque colour. If you need a clear resin for your pen blanks then we would recommend our GlassCast 50 Clear Epoxy Casting Resin which offers great clarity, good machinability and the ability to polish back to a high gloss.
Our XenCast P2 Fast Cast cures to a slight off white colour. However if you need a slightly purer white then you can add around 5 percent by weight of our White Polyurethane Pigment to give an improved white finish.
Xencast P2 will machine, drill and turn very well once fully cured. In fact, with a sharp knife it can even be carved a little like a very hard wood.
everything is great with P2, but it is important to pour fast when ambient temperature is high
Brilliant resin, just what i've been looking for. Don't have to vacuum or compress anymore and increases production capacity due to it's quick demould time.
