With proven boatbuilding expertise, innovative products and technical service teams, we can help boatbuilders become more productive and profitable. Our manufacturing resins and gelcoats can save time and money while providing excellent aesthetics with sheen, durability and toughness. When combined with your manufacturing process, our resin systems meet or exceed regulatory requirements for volatile organic compound and hazardous air pollutant limits.

Across a broad range of systems – class A, toughened class A, tough low-mass class A, tough low-mass structural, structural sheet-molding compound and bio-based resin systems – our solutions provide original equipment manufacturers, suppliers and manufacturers with composites that offer high mechanical and impact properties while reducing mass. In addition to improving the structural integrity of the autobody, we also have developed a patented high-modulus resilient technology that prevents surface microcracks during the assembly plant paint processes.

Components for mass transit – such as rail and subway cars, and buses – need to be durable, fire retardant and corrosion resistant. That’s why more and more design engineers and material specifiers are calling for fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) composites such as Derakane™ and Hetron™ for high chemical resistance and strong reinforcement strength. Our pressure-sensitive adhesives also help advertisements stick to transit authority buses without leaving a mark.

For high mechanical and impact properties, our composite resins are ideal in class A systems, toughened class A systems, tough low-mass class A, tough low-mass structural, structural sheet-molding compound (SMC) systems and bio-based resin systems. Our patented high modulus resilient (HMR) technology is an industry exclusive, making it possible for structural components and reinforcement panels to be molded from SMC and achieve significant reductions in mass.

Our gelcoats offer a finely tuned balance of hardness, mechanical strength, flexibility, UV protection and stability under fluctuating temperatures for doors and exterior and interior panels. For manufacturers looking to deliver the combined benefit of reduced gas mileage and transportation costs, our composite resins can reduce overall vehicle weight.
