Norester Isophthalic Marine Resin
Premium pre-accelerated isophthalic polyester resin. Superior to standard resins in water resistance and structural strength, it is the professional choice for marine laminating and osmosis-resistant repairs.
Norester by Nord Composites is a high-grade isophthalic resin specifically developed for the marine industry. Unlike standard orthophthalic resins, the isophthalic chemical structure offers significantly better resistance to water absorption (osmosis) and higher mechanical strength, making it the ideal matrix for hulls, decks, and structural reinforcements.
✔ Excellent Osmosis Resistance Creates a highly impermeable barrier, making it perfect for underwater applications and long-term hull integrity.
✔ Thixotropic & Pre-Accelerated Designed for easy application on vertical surfaces; the resin stays where you apply it without excessive dripping or drainage.
✔ Fast Fiber Wetting Excellent penetration into glass fiber mats (CSM) and woven fabrics, ensuring a strong, bubble-free laminate.
✔ High Mechanical Toughness Offers a resilient finish that can withstand the vibrations and impacts typical of sea-going vessels.
✔ Low styrene emission for a better working environment.
✔ Consistent curing times for reliable professional results.
✔ High Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT), maintaining structural integrity in hot climates.
✔ Superior adhesion to gelcoats and previous laminate layers.
⚙️ Fields of Application Ideal for:
Structural Marine Repairs: Fixing cracks, holes, or reinforcements in fiberglass hulls.
New Construction: Laminating hulls, decks, and internal bulkheads.
Osmosis Treatment: Used as a high-quality protective layer during hull restoration.
Molding: Creating high-durability parts for automotive or industrial use.
📝 Instructions for Use Preparation
Surface must be clean, dry, and sanded with a coarse grit (P60-P80) for mechanical bonding. Mixing
Add MEKP Catalyst (typically 1.5% to 2% depending on temperature).
Mix thoroughly but avoid whipping air into the resin. Application
Apply with a brush or metal roller. Use a de-airing roller to remove trapped air from the laminate.
Note: Catalyst is required for curing (sold separately or included in kits).
✅ Final Result A high-performance, professional-grade laminate with exceptional resistance to the marine environment and structural stress.
