The product lineup includes both halogenated and non-halogenated options, catering to various safety and performance requirements. The IR-275 and IR-276 resins are high-performance HFFR Isophthalic resin and gelcoat designed for stringent fire safety regulations. The IR-175 and IR-176 are orthothalic non-halogenated flame retardant resins, providing environmentally conscious alternatives. Additional products like IR-153 and IR-154 serve industries requiring halogenated options. Also featured are specialized formulations like IR-170 and IR-171, suitable for stone veneer applications, ensuring quality and compliance in construction materials. These resins are crucial across sectors emphasizing safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.

The Toolex Tool Grade Resin System, developed by Innovative Resins, is an epoxy-based system designed for the production of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) moulds through open and closed moulding processes. This tooling gelcoat features substantial gloss retention and resistance to environmental and mechanical stresses, ensuring high durability and long production cycles. Its composition allows for low shrinkage and higher deflection temperatures, offering a considerable number of release cycles without surface damage. The resin system is well-suited for high-temperature environments and provides excellent protection against atmospheric, chemical, and UV radiation. Its low viscosity facilitates easy application, thereby reducing the cost per unit and production time. Ideal for industries ranging from defense to electronics, Toolex enhances the saleability of products through its high gloss finish and durable, easy-maintenance surface.

Gelcoat, sometimes referred to as 'Gel Coat,' is essential for providing a high-quality finish on the visible surfaces of fiber-reinforced composites. This material is predominantly composed of thermosetting polymers, typically utilizing epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin formulations. These resins are applied in their liquid form to molds, where they cure into crosslinked polymers, forming a durable surface layer. They are commonly backed by thermoset polymer matrix composites, which often incorporate mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass. However, for applications that demand enhanced specific strength, such as in high-performance settings, epoxy resin is used in conjunction with carbon fiber. Gelcoats are utilized in various sectors like mass transit, hand lay-up processes, and even stone veneer applications due to their resilience and excellent finish quality.

POLY SHINE by Innovative Resins offers meticulously crafted high-gloss resins specifically formulated for marble and wood applications. These resins are engineered to enhance the innate beauty of these surfaces, providing a resilient protective layer that ensures excellent durability and a superior finish. The formulation is particularly adept at creating a high-gloss sheen that stands up to wear and tear, making it suitable for both residential and commercial environments. Each application delivers a brilliant shine, a hallmark of the product’s design to meet stringent standards of quality and aesthetics. This robust product demonstrates a commitment to performance, offering longevity and a high level of aesthetic appeal for surfaces subjected to frequent use.

Accelerators such as Cobalt and DMA are essential in the curing process for polyester and vinyl ester resins. Cobalt accelerators, offered in 2%, 3%, and 6% concentrations, are tailored for hand layup applications like INOX-IC and Alpha-DA, ensuring a fast and efficient curing process. The Cobalt ACC variant offers a colorless option, which is optimal for applications requiring clear or colored resins. Dimethyl Aniline (DMA) serves as a promoter, augmenting the effectiveness of peroxides in the polymerization process. When combined, these accelerators provide a consistent and reliable cure, which enhances the mechanical properties and durability of the final product. These accelerators play a significant role in optimizing the performance and longevity of products across various industrial applications.
