Everyone Pays Distributor Prices for our Basic No Blush (tm) Epoxy First the basics: Four things you need to know about marine epoxies
2) The 'standard' epoxies will 'blush' produce a waxy surface film during curing. All the vendors offer better, more expensive, non blushing marine epoxies. Progressive Epoxy (that's us) sells only non blushing marine epoxy (Basic No Blush ™ and Premium No Blush™ , our nonhazmat to ship version). 3) Most epoxies are sold through agents, resellers and distributors. Distributors usually get the epoxy at 50% (40%-60%) off the list price. They double the price and sell it to end users like you. So most epoxies are sold by the manufacturers at 'half price' or 'distributor pricing' to distributors who mark it up and resell it. PROGRESSIVE EPOXY POLYMERS does not use distributors or resellers. You can only get Basic No Blush epoxy directly from us. Compare and you will find our prices are 50% less than the end user prices our competitors list. Our epoxy is equal or better in quality - our prices are 'distributor prices' for everyone. If we used distributors we would need to vastly increase our prices to our customers to match the 100% markup added by distributors. Call it 'distributor pricing for everyone' or ' half price' epoxy - whatever floats your boat!

Wholesale Epoxy Resin Prices
The epoxies we sell are of the highest quality and generally are much better than
those sold by our competitors. Our prices are less than you might expect to pay for these quality products because
our pricing structure favors you, the end user, rather than a group of middlemen distributors.
Our customers are often disappointed to learn that there is no extensive network of distributors and suppliers
for these epoxies. Ordering direct takes additional time and shipping charges, but the reality is that even with
the delays and shipping costs, you save a great deal of money in return for that inconvenience. The more distributors
and outlets a vendor has, the more likely that the product is priced to attract more distributors, rather than
give end users the best product at the best price.
Paying big name prices for your epoxy?
WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE MOST OF THE OTHER LOW COST EPOXY VENDORS
One of our competitors proudly explained that his prices are low because:
He buys "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."
Not good! Yes, folks like AAA, BBB and our formulators do purchase their raw resins from the above companies - there are only a few chemical companies worldwide that make the resins. But we all then reformulate, blend, create, our marine epoxies to create properties and characteristics that we want our epoxies to have. We don't simply repackage or resell the bulk raw resins in smaller cans. It is sort of like gasoline. Gasoline starts off as a refinery product from crude oil, but all the Oil Companies then add things to it before they sell it to you to put into your car. They could sell it cheaper (and have a much bigger market share) if they sold the raw gasoline, but they feel (as do epoxy formulators) that the things they add to the gasoline/epoxy are important and provide added value to the product.
What continues to shock me is the price of shipping (and the cost of boxes, etc. to pack the epoxies). UPS and the motor freight folks certainly get their money (plus all sorts of hidden surcharges they sneak on to the monthly bill). There is nothing we or anyone can do about shipping charges - but boy do they add to the cost! I have to admit, I've stopped many personal purchases due to shipping charge shock! Of course, I try not to think about the cost of gasoline (always going up), car fees, and my time when I drive to the store... Luck for my, New Hampshire has no sales tax! (but HUGE property taxes to make up for it!).

| Unlike our competitors, we like to develop a partnership with our customers by
turning them into educated buyers. That means discussing not just the benefits and plus of our epoxies but also
pointing out the weaknesses and possible problems. The other guys just don't do this. they either downplay or ignore
any bit of important information that might risk losing your business. We don't think that is right. It is certainly
not the fair and honest way to do business. Visit our competitors' sites and search for any information on: 1) amine blush, 2) shipping
restrictions, 3) nonyl phenol/enamel paint drying issues,
3) potlife issues, 4) price
gouging/markups, 5) UV yellowing, 6) formulated epoxies vs raw resin vendors,
7) customer comments
and feedback. We want to earn your business by being honest and upfront with you. You'll find our prices are good (too low to attrract distributors or agents), with honesty and service second to no one. |

| When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury: For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses: For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies: For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments: For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
