Supercup Epoxy Mixing Measuring Pot

The Supercup Epoxy Mixing Measuring Pot is a thick, rigid polypropylene cup for accurately measuring and mixing epoxy systems, paints and lacquers. It has millilitre graduations and dedicated 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1 mixing-ratio scales, with markings designed to be read from inside the cup. Its smooth internal surface supports thorough mixing and reduces material left around the sides of the container.

What Is This Mixing Pot Used For?

The Supercup is designed for accurately measuring and combining multi-component coatings and resins where the product manufacturer specifies a mixing ratio by volume.

Typical uses include:

• Mixing two-component epoxy systems
• Combining paint with activator or hardener
• Mixing lacquers
• Measuring coating components in millilitres
• Preparing small or controlled batches
• Carrying mixed paint to the application area
• Short-term storage of mixed coating material
• Transferring prepared paint to an end-user

Always follow the coating or resin manufacturer’s specified ratio, mixing sequence, working time and application instructions.

Which Measurement Scales Are Included?

The cup has two types of calibration:

• Volume graduations: measured in millilitres
• Mixing-ratio graduations: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1

The millilitre scale is suitable where each component quantity is specified as a volume. The ratio scales allow two-component products to be proportioned without separately calculating each volume.

These graduations are intended for products mixed by volume. Where a coating or resin specifies a ratio by weight, use a suitable weighing scale rather than substituting the cup’s volume markings.

Why Are the Calibrations Readable from Inside the Cup?

The calibration markings are designed to be visible from inside the cup while material is being poured.

This allows the user to:

• View the fill level from the normal working position
• Stop pouring at the selected graduation
• Follow the required ratio scale more easily
• Reduce the need to repeatedly lift or turn the cup
• Check component levels during preparation

Place the cup on a stable, level surface and read the liquid level at eye height for the most consistent measurement.

How Do You Use the Mixing-Ratio Scales?

1. Confirm whether the coating or resin is mixed by volume.
2. Check the required ratio on the product label or technical data sheet.
3. Select the corresponding 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 or 5:1 scale on the cup.
4. Place the Supercup on a flat, level surface.
5. Add each component in the sequence specified by the product manufacturer.
6. Follow the matching numbered graduations on the selected ratio scale.
7. Mix thoroughly, including material at the bottom and sides of the cup.
8. Apply or transfer the mixed material within its specified working or pot life.

Do not use a different ratio simply because it is printed on the cup. The ratio must match the instructions for the specific epoxy, paint or lacquer being mixed.

Why Is the Cup Made from Rigid Polypropylene?

The cup is manufactured from thick, rigid polypropylene to help it retain its shape while components are poured, measured and mixed.

The rigid construction provides:

• A stable container during measuring
• Reduced flex while stirring
• Better support when carrying mixed material
• Clearer alignment with the printed graduations
• Greater resistance to accidental deformation than a thin disposable cup

Material compatibility should still be checked against the coating, resin, solvent or cleaning agent being used.

How Does the Smooth Interior Help with Mixing?

The inside of the Supercup has a smooth finish without unnecessary texture that could trap coating material.

This helps the user to:

• Stir material around the complete circumference of the cup
• Scrape the sides during mixing
• Reach material at the base of the cup
• Reduce unmixed residue
• Transfer more of the prepared coating to the application equipment or container

Thorough mixing remains essential, particularly for multi-component epoxy and paint systems.

Can It Be Used for Paint Storage and Transit?

Yes. The Supercup can be used as an economical alternative to a paint tin for the short-term storage or transit of mixed paint.

This can be useful when:

• Moving prepared paint between work areas
• Supplying a measured batch to an applicator
• Transporting mixed paint to an end-user
• Holding a coating during a short application period

The supplied information does not specify a lid or closure. Where material is to be stored or transported, use an appropriate compatible closure or secondary container and follow the coating manufacturer’s storage, ventilation and transport instructions.

The cup should not be treated as a long-term storage container unless suitability has been confirmed for the material concerned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Supercup be used for mixing epoxy resin? Yes. It is intended for epoxy mixing where the resin and hardener are specified in a compatible ratio by volume.

Which mixing ratios are printed on the cup? The cup includes 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 and 5:1 ratio scales.

Does it also have ordinary volume measurements? Yes. Volume calibrations are provided in millilitres.

Are the markings visible from inside the cup? Yes. The calibrations are designed to be read from inside while the cup is being filled.

Can it be used for ratios specified by weight? No. The printed scales measure volume. Use a suitable weighing scale where the product specifies a weight-based ratio.

What material is the cup made from? It is made from thick, rigid polypropylene.

Can it be used for paint and lacquer? Yes. The supplied applications include accurately mixing paints and lacquers.

Can mixed paint be stored in the cup? It is suitable for short-term storage. Long-term suitability depends on the coating and any compatible closure used.

Can it be used to transport mixed paint? Yes. It can provide an economical alternative to a paint tin for short-term transit, subject to suitable closure and safe handling.

Is a lid included? A lid or closure is not specified in the supplied product information.

What is the cup capacity? The capacity was not included in the supplied product information.

Why is the inside smooth? The smooth interior helps the user mix around the sides and base of the cup and reduces material becoming trapped in surface texture.
