Polyester Resin Vs. Epoxy Resin - Fiberglass Warehouse

There are many factors that go into choosing whether polyester or epoxy resin is best for your project. Some of those factors depend on what your project will be, the size of the project you will be doing and what will be used for the final layer. To help you decide which resin is best we have compiled a list of details along with pros and cons of each type of resin. Polyester Resin Polyester resin is the most popular resin used in the industry. This is mainly because of the lower cost and the ease of use. Most polyester resins cure with a surface tack which allows for better adhesion between layers. It gets rid of the need to sand between layers. This is a huge upside for large projects that will require several layers of fiberglass. Big projects

Orca 301 is a superior grade isophthalic laminating resin. This resin is used in the same applications as ortho resin but where improved physical properties are desired (ie better bonding, more impermeability to moisture, better tensile strength etc.). It cures with a surface tack for better bonding between layers. Because of the surface tack there is no need for sanding between layers.
