Casting Resin
Resin casting is a method of plastic casting where a mould is filled with a liquid synthetic resin, which then hardens.
Primarily used for: small scale production
Fibreglass Matting
Fibreglass chopped strand matt is a form of reinforcement used in fiberglass. It consists of glass fibers laid randomly across each other and held together by a binder. It is typically processed using the hand lay-up technique, where sheets of material are placed in a mold and brushed with resin.
Epoxy Resin
The applications for epoxy-based materials are extensive and include coatings, adhesives and composite materials such as those using carbon fibre and fibreglass reinforcements. Most of our epoxy resin comes in kits, including resin and hardener however upon request it is available separately.
Primarily used for: Paints & Coatings, Adhesives, Marine Applications, Aerospace Applications
Available in: West System Epoxy & Hardener Kits – 1L & 4L Quantities
Polyester Resin
Polyester resins are unsaturated synthetic resins formed by the reaction of dibasic organic acids and polyhydric alcohols. Polyester resins are used in sheet moulding compound, bulk moulding compound and the toner of laser printers.
Primarily Used For:
Available in 500mL & 1L Quantities.
The unique properties of Fibreglass make it suitable for a wide range of applications, and provides advantages over many other types of construction.

WHY USE FIBREGLASS?
Fibreglass construction allows for a tremendous amount of design flexibility. The practical uses of fibreglass are virtually endless, limited only by your imagination. Fibreglass has opened many new possibilities for creative designers. Its unique physical properties allow it to be easily tooled, molded and manufactured to meet almost any specifications. Because there are so few constraints on size, shape, color or finish, the styling and appearance can take precedence over manufacturing costs.
LONG LASTING
Fibreglass is non-corrosive and has a much longer life expectancy when compared to a variety of construction materials. In highly corrosive environments Fibreglass is the preferred choice over metal, wood, or plastic. A popular choice where exposure to harsh environments is a concern, Fibreglass provides resistance to ultra violent light, extreme temperatures, salt air, and a variety of chemicals including most acids. Because fibreglass is chemically inert and corrosion-resistant, it offers an economical alternative to stainless steel.
