Adjuncts
Use MEKP Liquid Catalyst to cure any of the polyester resins. Styrene Monomer thins the resins and Surface Curing Agent leaves a hard cured finish when added.
Plastic Polyester Resin for Fiberglass
Plastic has become a staple within our society. At TAP Plastics, we believe that the possibilities of plastic are limitless. We offer a wide selection of resins to suit general fabrication and construction needs, as well as architectural and manufacturing applications. Polyester resin is a popular alternative to epoxy because it costs less and performs well when it comes to temporary fixes. Our selection features high-strength plastics that can be used to repair, build, or strengthen a wide range of fiberglass surfaces.

Our polyester resin collection includes vinyl ester, bond coat, high-strength isophthalic resin and specialty resin for surfboard construction or repair. Vinyl ester is a thixotropic laminating resin that boasts high heat distortion temperature (HDT), corrosion resistance and superior blister resistance. Every quart or gallon of this laminating resin features a stable, pre-promoted gel and cure formulation to ensure consistent results in skin coating or hand lay-up. Are you looking for an affordable way to repair boats, tanks, automotive bodies, decks, furniture and more? Look no further than our bond coat laminating composite, which is air-inhibited to create excellent adhesion without needing to sand between coats.Make stable polyester molds or repair tank linings with the help of isophthalic resin. This high-strength solution delivers excellent resistance to chemicals, corrosion, fuel, temperature, and more. Studies have also shown that fiberglass reinforced with isophthalic resin has higher flexural and tensile properties than panels reinforced with orthophthalic resin, making it ideal for more demanding applications. Expand the potential of your operations by stocking up on surfboard resin. When flexed, this impact-resistant resin resists cracking and crazing. Catalysts are sold separately.
Resin Adjuncts and Accessories
In addition to plastic resin, we also provide catalysts and other supplies you need. Mixing a polyester catalyst or curing agent into the resin helps it harden for better durability. Use MEKP Liquid Catalyst for all-purpose curing or TAP Surface Curing Agent if you want the hardened resin to be sandable. Other products include styrene monomer to thin the resin for better coverage and TAP Replacetone to clean your hands and tools.
