Essential General Purpose Polyester Resin is a versatile orthophthalic polyester resin that's suitable for laying up, laminating, composite repairs, and a wide range of other composite applications. Supplied in white, it delivers a neat, professional appearance, and works perfectly as a cost-effective solution for general fibreglass projects.
This general-purpose resin is widely used across industries for everything from routine maintenance to larger structural applications. Its competitive price point makes it a practical choice for professionals and DIY users alike, without compromising on quality or strength. With low styrene emissions, it provides a safer, cleaner working environment while maintaining excellent performance and reliability.
For best results, add 1–2% catalyst and mix thoroughly. At normal workshop temperatures of 15–20°C, the resin achieves an approximate 30-minute pot life, giving a practical working window for application. Your purchase includes the required catalyst, making this resin simple and ready to use straight away.
