Products   &  Application

Resin Types:

Polyester General Purpose

RAYPLEX® #201 Fiberglass Resin is the same high-strength polyester resin that is used to build most boats. Can be used alone or with fiberglass tape, cloth or mat to repair damaged fiberglass boats, snowmobiles, jet skis, bathtubs,  showers, sinks and hot tubs.     

Isophthalic

RAYPLEX® #215 Fiberglass Isophathalic Resin is 100% waterproof and designed specifically to be used        below the water line in marine applications. It can also be used for interior and exterior home repairs including            tubs, showers, sinks, pools, hot tubs, and more. If additional structural strength is needed for more severe    repairs like larger holes, cracks or damaged surfaces, the use of additional layers of RAYPLEX®Fiberglass Cloth or Mat is recommended. The product cures in 2 hours, resulting in a non-shrinking and durable repair. Can be used on multiple  surfaces including concrete, wood, fiberglass, metal and more, and works as a waterproof sealer.

Vinyl Ester

 RAYPLEX® #217 Vinyl Ester Resin ( promoted )offers increased strength, corrosion resistance   and durability and are used in a wide variety of applications. While vinyl ester resins are classified as polyester-based             formulations, they are actually an intermediate between a polyester backbone and epoxy terminations on the ends of the molecules. They are based on either bis phenol-A or novolac chemistry with methacrylic acid forming the         polymer.

It is compatible with all gel coats and requires RAYPLEX® Liquid Hardener (MEKP). 

**Once ordered...due to a shorter shelf life this requires a few extra days to prepare

Chemicals & Solvents

            Airdry or Wax Solution- Add 5% Wax Solution/Air Dry to the unwaxed polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, or gel coat to make it non-tacky when dry. It contains paraffin wax suspended in styrene solvent. The wax rises to the surface as the material cures and seals the surface from oxygen.

            Acetone- Acetone is popular solvent  used to remove fiberglass or epoxy resin from tools, spray guns and equipment also removes wax from gelcoat surfaces.

            Styrene- Styrene is the recommended and accepted thinner for polyester resins and gelcoats. Most gelcoats can be thinned 2-5% to make them suitable for ordinary spray equipment or other special purposes.

            PVA- Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is often utilized as a mold release agent in industries such as plastics, rubber, and composites. PVA should be used to aid in the release of parts from a mold

         Waxes- Compounded with the purest grade carnauba wax, plus special binders and             spreading agents, Honey Wax has been the leading choice in mould release             agents for decades.

Putty

            Fiberours Putty- Fiberous putty is used to bond or repair for maximum strength.

            Fairing Putty- Fairing Putty is a lightweight two-component polyester putty that can be used for fairing, filling, shaping, and repair.

            Expanding Foam- Expanding Urethane Foam is a two-component, urethane foam system available in 4 separate density formulations by weight per cubic foot.

Fillers

         Cabosil- A white, free-flowing powder, Cabosil is a thickening agent primarily added to thicken resin.

         Milled Fibers- Primary use is as a reinforcement in composites to increase mechanical properties.

            (impact,tensile, compressive and flexural), improve dimensional stability and minimize evated temperatures.

         Copped Strand- Used to increase tensile and compressive properties of any resin, even concrete.

         Talc- Talc is the major component of any body filler. It is a sandable filler added for fairing and smoothing the finish of fiberglass lamination.

         Glass Bubbles- Lightweight hollow glass spheres used as an extender and thickener for resins. Fine detail reproduction when used in casting. Strong, will hold fasteners when used to fill holes.
