THIS IS OUR BOATING/MARINE HOMEPAGE - as you can see it is full of links, shortcuts, tips and tricks. We hope you spend a few minutes checking out this page.--- from here you can proceed to the TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE of our marine catalog which also has some useful links and information. The marine catalog is extensive. Lots of links to data sheets, msds, case studies, etc. Some products have a linked page(s) dedicated just to that one product. The marine catalog has about 6 sections (fillers, marine epoxies, non epoxies, misc.)

We have a very tradional alternative web site/store if you're in a hurry or confused. Goto www.epoxyUSA.com
We offer more kinds of epoxies and products than you can find anywhere else, and we're generally a lot cheaper on all our products than any of our competitors. Where else can you find underwater epoxies, copper powder (by the pound), micaceous Iron Oxide (an anti-corrosive -pigment/filler), water-activated emergency pipe wrap kits, commercial grade, low cost LPU 2 part polyurthane paints in 100 colors, 1 quart units of coal tar epoxy, aluminum filled moisture cured urethanes, and non blushing marine epoxy? Your continued support is very much appreciated and keeps these unique products available. Thanks again!
Why order your epoxies from us? -- We think we have several good reasons why you should buy here.
1) we sell complete kits of resin and curing agent. No confusing: "purchase .83 gallons of resin and select .33 gallon unit of curing agent to purchase separately" nonsense;
2) if you're shopping for price try to beat our Basic No Blush™ (non blushing) marine epoxy ;
3) if price isn't your primary concern, we've got a wide selection of other epoxies with various performance levels to select from!
4) order from us and you get selections from more than just one formulating lab. Why trust your entire epoxy experience to just one lab's formulation or related family of formulations? Would you shop at a department store that only carried one brand of clothing or electronics?;
5) besides epoxy resins we offer epoxy paints, thickened repair epoxies, underwater epoxies, LPU polyurethanes, fillers such as copper powder, graphite, Teflon™, microspheres, fumed silica, etc. We are the right place for all your coating, painting, resin needs;
6) we share all the information we have - case studies, helpful articles, data and MSDS sheets. We even post prices rather than hiding them on separate pages or making you call for them;
7) our epoxies are all carefully formulated by epoxy chemists. We do not simply repackage the raw resins manufactured in bulk by the giant chemical companies the way many (most?) of the other low cost resin vendors do (they not being knowledgeable enough to realize that this is not a good thing to confess to -- a quote from one of our competitor's web site - "I buy epoxy resins and hardeners from manufacturers such as Shell Oil, Dow Chemical, and Vantico (formerly Ciba-Geigy). I buy in drums and repackage into smaller containers." Note that none of the major marine epoxy vendors do this even though we would all boost our profits significantly. There is good reason for this.
If you've spent any time exploring our massive website, you can tell we know our products and their application and use so much better than anyone who simply pours chemicals from a 55 gallon drum into a gallon can. We are so much more than just product and price....
8) Check out our competitors' sites. We certainly beat them on price and quality (that's why I drive a 10 year old pickup truck and my big boat is old and 16 ft long - I bet they won't tell you what they drive or the size of their boats, even though the cars and boats were purchased with your money!), but what really surprises me is when you click on their 'contact us' pages. One says replies could take 5 days, another tells you to expect only a two sentence reply. Then they have you fill out a form telling all about yourself so they can decide if you're a big enough potential customer to bother with. They want your money, but they don't want you! SHOCKING. You also never hear their input on any of the internet boating newsgroups and forums (where I regularly offer advise). Why is that? Aren't they interested in boaters outside of company time?
9) no formaldehyde in our No Blush™ epoxies unlike in at least one of our major competitors (check MSDS sheets before you purchase any epoxy).
10) speaking of prices, visit our industrial site (www.epoxyproducts.com/main.html) and you'll see many of the same products - all at the the same prices. It's not unusual for marine epoxy vendors to sell to industry too (most or all do - in fact most of the big names make more money there than selling to boat owners), but they make viewing and comparing industrial and marine product prices extremely difficult because almost everyone thinks it's OK to charge boat owners four or five times more than what an industrial contractor is willing to pay. That doesn't cut it here at Progressive Epoxy Polymers, Inc.
NOV 2007 addtional comments:
11) one of our competitors tells you not to expect more than a 1 or 2 line email response to your questions!
12) easy to find our data and msds sheets. Also be post user comments, and not just the good ones! Lots more info of all kinds on pages to give you all the info and education you need.
13) we seem to be the only epoxy vendor that lets you order online 24/7. Our third party online storefront isn't perfect but it sure is handy for most folks! You can find many (not all) of our products available on our vastly more simple site: www.epoxyUSA.com
14) Every company has its own set of buzzwords and terms they focus on. I cannot say for sure, but when I check out our competitors' web sites they seem to clone more and more of our buzzwords and issues.

WE MAY BE CRAZY! We feel so good about our epoxy prices, the quality and performance
of our epoxies, and our willingness to share all we know with you, that we are going to break all the rules of
business and give you direct links to our competitors' web sites. We're betting that after you visit their sites you'll come back and
buy from us, regardless of whether you're buying based on price, performance, quality, section, or honesty/information.
If we're wrong, well, we lose and you win! We believe our quality is better, we know are prices are better. Check
out how friendly/unfriendly, and how responsive/un-responsive their email support is. Then factor it all together
and pick your epoxy supplier! MAS -- WEST -- SYSTEM
THREE -- RAKA (Be sure you're comparing NON-BLUSHING epoxies.) WEST - standard (blushing) epoxy - Our Basic No Blush™
was less than 1/2 their price! System Three no blush SilverTip™ epoxy - Our Basic No
Blush™ was less than 1/2 their price! RAKA non blushing epoxy - Our Basic No Blush™ was 25%
cheaper! Like MAS, WEST and System 3, our Basic No Blush™ is
a formulated epoxy, not a simple repackaging of resin and curing agents from a giant chemical company. We are not
repackagers. Raw material costs to manufacture epoxies are in the $25 to maybe $40 per gallon range. You figure
how much is too much to pay!

Dear Paul,
When something's good happen.......you should tell someone...right!!! Not only
complaining. Well I'm impressed, I ordered 1pound of one of your products late
may 27th........and got it today may 30th!!!!!!!First I didn't believe I could get this
small amount and 2nd not in this time frame!!! Its sometimes hard to get a small
amounts for 'testing'....200 or 500 pounds well no problem.
In the last 40 years I have not done business with a company like yours......there
is only one word ....... JOB WELL DONE. You really know the needs of your
customer.
It was a pleasure doing business with your company, I already put your name to
my "Favorites" on my computer.
Thanks again, have a great day.
Peter.
You've just made a new fan, Paul. My husband, Jerry, is hard to
impress. We read your "Everyone's Guide to Instant Epoxy Expertise"
while driving home from the boat the other day. He was impressed with
the depth of information (you went where some fear to tread) and the
evenhandedness with which you delivered it. We just got something
else in the mail from you, and he stole it away out of the mail pile
to read at his leisure.
The September issue went out the door yesterday. You're in there.
Welcome aboard!
Karen

We've found that most problems are the result of recoating too soon. Recoat epoxies after 24 hours, for putting different kinds of coatings over each other, wait at least 48 hours.
Our thanks to Interlux's painting guide for the some of the following:
Area below the waterline (general formula: LOA X beam X .85 = wetted surface area)
Sailboats: 18 ft day sailer 120 squ feet; 21 ft trailerable 160 squ feet; 28 ft racer/cruiser 250 squ feet; 31 ft racer/cruiser 270 squ feet; 36 ft cruiser 330 squ feet; 41 ft cruiser 435; 53 ft cruiser 590 squ feet.
Motorboats: 18 ft runabout 120
squ feet; 21 ft runabout 150 squ feet; 28 ft cruiser 240 squ feet; 32 ft sportfish 300 squ feet; 36 ft cruiser
350 squ feet; 42 ft cruiser 500 squ feet; 53 ft cruiser 650 squ feet.
One Gallon of Epoxy will wet out: 60 squ feet of .75 oz mat; 30 squ ft of 1.5 oz mat; 85 squ feet of 6 oz cloth; 54 squ feet of 10 oz cloth; 35 squ feet of 18 oz woven roving; 28 squ feet of 24 oz woven mat
One of our Premium No Blush users reported back that they used 1 gallon to wet out 42 square feet of 18 oz cloth....
How much epoxy? To
wet out 6-9 oz cloth, fill the weave with more than one coat, allow for waste, etc. figure about 50 - 60 square
feet per gallon (my tests showed 97 squ feet staturated by 1 gal of cloth).

Lean about our USER FRIENDLY PRICES - you save big time! We could have called this section "How you're getting over-charged by the competition!" or "Things Epoxy Manufacturers would rather you didn't know"Included is a section (warning) about other low cost epoxy vendors - that simply repackage the raw resins from the giant chemical companies, rather than use these raw resins as starting products to formulate unique marine epoxy resin systems the way we and other other large marine epoxy vendors do!
MORE ON OUR PRICES --- I recently attended the 2003 WoodBoat show in Rockland, Maine. Just like at all the other boat show I visit (mostly in the New England area), most of my name brand competitors were exhibiting there. I am always shocked at the prices they charge and get away with. But then it dawned on me -- I would love to exhibit at one of these shows, but the exhibitor fees, travel, hotel, brochures, time and labor costs add up to several thousands of dollars per show. That cost has to be recovered from, not just the sale of more epoxy, but from the profit margin of each additional sale of epoxy. That's hundreds or thousands of gallons of additional epoxy that would need to be sold per show... The only way we could do it would be to add an extra $10 - $20 per gallon to the price of our epoxy. If we did that, our epoxies would cost you the same as our competitors' epoxies. Sure, we would both probably like chatting with each other at the next boat show, but that 'chat' would cost you dearly ($10 - $20 per gallon). We think our epoxies are better than our competitors' products, and because we don't do things like exhibit at trade shows, you get real savings. We hope you see the logic in this.....
