Product catalog summary
Introduction
3form Varia Ecoresin is commonly used in wet environments such as showers and swimming pools. This document outlines the procedures and guidelines for edge sealing Varia Ecoresin to prevent moisture wicking, which can occur if edges are not properly sealed.
Affected Products
Varia Ecoresin panels with certain interlayers (organics, papers, and fabrics) require edge sealing to prevent moisture wicking. Panels made with Pure Colors do not require sealing. Exposure to saltwater or drinking water does not affect the base material, ecoresin™, and chlorine solutions do not adversely affect it after prolonged submersion.
Factory Applied Edge Sealing
Robnor MP400C varnish is used for factory edge sealing, applied in multiple layers to sanded edges. For heavy usage, additional framing or silicone layers are recommended to protect the varnish.
In-Field Edge Sealing Procedure
If factory sealing is not possible, follow these steps for on-site sealing:
  • Sand edges with 220-grit sandpaper using a dual action orbital sander.
  • Clean edges with Isopropyl Alcohol.
  • Mask panel sides with 3M 8952 tape.
  • Apply Robnor MP400C varnish in three layers within 10 minutes.
  • Allow varnish to cure for at least 4 hours, preferably 24 hours.
  • Scrape edges with a putty knife before removing masking tape.
Materials Needed
Random Dual Action Orbital Sanding machine, 220-grit dry sandpaper, 100% Isopropyl alcohol, Masking tape (3M 8952), Robnor MP400C, Brush & gloves, Putty knife.
Conclusion
Proper edge sealing is crucial to prevent moisture wicking in Varia Ecoresin panels. Follow the outlined procedures to ensure durability and performance in wet applications.

Varia Edge Sealing procedures and guidelines INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 To prepare for water sealing, sand away all machine or saw marks using 220 grit sandpaper on a dual action orbital sander. Once the machine marks are removed, for an extra polished look sand with 400 and 600 grit sandpaper as well. Be careful not to concentrate the sander in one area for too long, as heat build-up may damage the Varia Ecoresin panel. Apply even pressure so that the edges of the sander do not dig into the panel. (See Figure 1) STEP 2 Remove protective foil 50-100mm from the edge of the panel. Clean edges and the...
