JesmoniteAC84 is a fast-setting, acrylic polymer-modified cement-based composite material.
Designed to meet the needs of craftsmen and designers, this gentle mix is a modern, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional concrete.
Jesmonite® AC84 combines the best of the 2 AC100 and AC730 ranges: the beautiful fluidity of the former with the subtle, robust grain of the latter.
Its low viscosity ensures a homogeneous, lump-free mix, while effectively reducing the presence of air bubbles.
Composite Jesmonite is the essential ecological solution for a wide range of applications, offering versatile and varied smooth or textured finishes that are particularly attractive to sculptors, architects and designers looking for an innovative material with enhanced properties.
Jesmonite® AC84 is used for molding fiber-reinforced decorative and architectural parts, as well as for casting small parts. Its high weather resistance makes it particularly suitable for statues and garden ornaments.
Naturally light in color, Jesmonite® AC84 can be pigmented as desired with Jesmonite colorants, neon pigment powders or iron oxide pastes.

Liquid 1: Base 5
Ex: 100 gr liquid for 500 gr powder
Using a FLAT SPATula or the blender Jesmoniteslowly add the powder to the liquid while mixing at low speed.
When you have finished pouring in the powder, gradually increase the speed (1000 rpm) and mix for a further 30 – 45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, fluid and lump-free.
TIP: Do not use whisks or mixers intended for cooking.
A wide range of colorants Jesmonite is available and can be mixed together to create other colors.
Do not exceed 2% pigment addition. Ex: maximum 2g of pigment added per 100g of Jesmonite A+B.
It is advisable to pigment the liquid (maximum 20 g for 1 kg (A+B)) before adding the powder.
Pour a small amount of the mixture into the mold and brush all accessible surfaces with Jesmonite. If access is difficult, rotate the mold so that the mixture spreads over the entire surface.
Then fill the rest of the mould.
Make sure you pour the mixture in a thin vein.
Lightly tapping the mold can also help air to escape.

User guide
Depending on the environment, demolding can take place +/- 2 hours after casting.
Jesmonite® AC84 is designed to give a stone finish. This is achieved by acid blasting or shot blasting.
The product can only be acid-etched after a minimum drying time of 24 hours.
An acid such as hydrochloric acid will act to a greater or lesser degree for 1 to 4 minutes. The gentle method with white vinegar requires a room to be immersed for at least an hour.
The more the surface is in contact with the acid, the rougher the result will be. When you’re satisfied with the grain size, rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove the acid, and dab the surface dry with a clean, dry cloth.
TIP: Don’t rinse directly into the sink, use a bucket.
Jesmonite is not liquid-tight, so it must be treated with a suitable product.
Use flexiguard sealer if you want to provide natural protection for your Jesmonite. Please note: a sealer is only a repellent, a pore filler only offers effective protection in the event of short contact with a damp body, and is not suitable for objects in continuous contact with wax or water.
Use colorfresh Colorfresh (gloss) or colortec (matte) varnishes to seal your creations. This VOC-free varnish offers transparent, long-lasting protection.
For effective protection, it is necessary to apply the protection with a brush. Foams and foam brushes are STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED.
Clean work tools with water before the resin dries completely.
Pre-wash your accessories in a separate bucket to avoid clogging your pipes.
The self-timer (retarder) is added to the liquid to extend the mixture’s pot life. Mixing ratio: add 2 gr to 8 gr per kilo of liquid. A test is recommended, as temperature and volume of the mixture can play a significant role.
The thixotropic (thickener) is added to the mixture (A+B) to adjust its texture. A 1 to 3 mm thick layer of Jesmonite can then be applied without running off the surface of the mold. Mixing ratio: Add 2g to 6g per kilo of Jesmonite powder+liquid mixture.
The pigments Jesmonite pigments can be mixed together to create other colors. Add between 1% and 2% pigment to the Jesmonite mixture. It is advisable to pigment the liquid (maximum 20 g for 1 kg (A+B)) before adding the powder.
Flexiguard sealer (is an effective natural repellent for fleeting encounters with a moist body. It is applied to the dry surface and provides invisible protection for jesmonite AC 730 composite.
Colortec (varnish) is applied to the dry surface to give a matte, waterproof finish to jesmonite AC 100 and AC 730 composites.
Colorfresh (varnish) is applied to the dry surface to give a glossy, waterproof finish to jesmonite AC 100 and AC 730 composites.
Quadriaxial fiber (reinforcement) is a glass fabric used in laminating processes to produce panels.
PVA (reinforcing) fibers are synthetic polyvinyl alcohol fibers particularly well-suited to cement-based materials.
Chopped fiber 6 mm chopped fibers add strength to thin-section castings, and act as a filler to aid layering. A shorter length allows better dispersion in the mix.
12 mm chopped fibers provide added strength to thin-section castings, and act as a filler to aid lamination. Longer lengths offer greater tensile strength.
To calculate the quantities and proportions of Jesmonite you’ll need, first select the relevant range. Then specify whether you are calculating on the basis of a mold or a casting. If you’re calculating on a mold basis, place the mold on a scale, fill it with water and enter the quantity in the calculator. If you’re calculating according to a cast part, weigh the part and enter the information into the calculator. This will give you the quantity of liquid and powder needed to make your part.
