Pollinator Kit
Algae polyurethane casting kit
How does it work?
This kit includes 1 L of Checkerspot's pollinator series cast polyurethane system, a mixing stick (made from the same material), a reusable silicone mixing cup, protective nitrile gloves, and instructions for mixing and casting.
Why is it needed?
Much of the cast polyurethane currently on the market is made mostly from petroleum, resulting as a non-renewable product and contributing to different types of pollution.
How does it improve life?
This design provides a non-toxic and renewable alternative for creatives of all levels. They can prototype and build their ideas while minimizing the environmental impact and achieving similar physical properties as petroleum-based polyurethane.
