Material Guides help you choose the right material for a fiberglass or composite part. They compare resin systems such as polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy, and explain how to pick a thermoplastic sheet based on cost and performance. Each guide ends with how the choice affects your part.
“Fiberglass resin” usually means polyester. Epoxy is a separate, stronger, pricier chemistry. Here is how polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy compare, and how to pick the right one.
When designing a plastic component or part, selecting the right thermoplastic sheet is crucial to guarantee it meets performance, durability, and functionality requirements. The conditions a part will face – whether impact, heat, or chemical exposure – can greatly influence which material is best suited. For instance, the transparent sheeting used in bus windows requires […]
