Jesmonite® AC100 is a versatile, water-based composite casting material designed for creating decorative objects, sculptures, mouldings, prototypes and interior features. It combines a mineral base with a water-based acrylic liquid to produce strong, lightweight and highly detailed castings.
Why Choose Jesmonite® AC100?
Easy to use
AC100 is simple to mix, pour and cast, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced makers, artists and designers.
Highly customisable
Add Jesmonite® pigments to create almost any colour, or experiment with different techniques and inclusions to produce marbled, terrazzo-style and textured finishes.
Excellent detail reproduction
The material flows well into moulds and can reproduce fine surface details, making it ideal for decorative pieces and intricate designs.
Fast setting
AC100 has a relatively short setting time, allowing projects to be demoulded and finished quickly.
Strong and lightweight
Once fully cured, Jesmonite® AC100 produces durable castings while remaining lighter than many traditional casting materials.
Water-based system
The system is water-based and contains no solvents or VOCs, making it pleasant and convenient to work with.
Natural Colour
Jesmonite® AC100 is made using mineral-based components, so slight variations in its natural colour may occur between batches. For consistent colour across multiple casts, adding pigment is recommended.
Suitable Applications
Jesmonite® AC100 is particularly well suited to interior and decorative applications, including:
Home décor and decorative objects
Bowls, trays and ornaments
Candle holders
Sculptures and artistic pieces
Furniture and decorative furniture elements
Interior wall panels
Architectural details such as coving and cornicing
Film, theatre and prop making
Prototypes and samples

Flexible Casting Options
Jesmonite® AC100 can be used for both solid casting and thin-shell hollow casting.
