The Science Behind Resin Flower Preservation: Timeless Beauty Through Chemistry

What is Resin Preservation?

Resin preservation uses epoxy resin, a clear polymer that permanently encases flowers while maintaining their shape and color. The process combines chemical stabilization with artistic composition.

The Chemical Process

  1. Dehydration
  • Moisture removal prevents browning
  • Maintains cellular structure
  • Prevents air bubble formation
  1. Resin Application
  • Two-part epoxy system
  • Catalyzed hardening process
  • UV stabilizers prevent yellowing

Why Choose Resin?

  • 360-degree visibility
  • Exceptional clarity
  • Complete protection
  • Customizable shapes
  • Humidity resistant

Common Challenges

  • Air bubble formation
