RAYPLEX's "Assurance of Quality" sets our product lines apart as industry leaders. Whether it be fibreglass, carbon fibre or any reinforcement, the materials used must meet the strictest standards of quality and can therefore be used in the most stressful applications.

Fabrics containing flaws, large or small, are not acceptable at RAYPLEX. It is important to realize that these flaws, which might not even be visible can contribute to the failure of parts. As a result RAYPLEX requires all incoming fabrics confirm that they meet the RAYPLEX "Assurance of Quality" standard.

In the reinforcement industry, fabrics are finished with special chemical and mechanical processes to ensure that the fabric will be compatible with certain resins. RAYPLEX fabric finishes are designed to ensure polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester compatibility. This means that if you buy your reinforcements here, it will be compatible with those resin every single time.

RAYPLEX makes a difference with resins as well. Not only is RAYPLEX's specifications important but shelf life is crucial as well. Polyester and vinyl ester resins particularly do not last a year. If you purchase resin that has floating "eyes" or has started to gel at the bottom of the can, you will never be able to achieve the full properties of your reinforcement. We guarantee 6 month shelf life with all of our resins except vinyl ester which is guaranteed for only 3 months. You can wet-out that first layer of expensive reinforcement knowing that your resin will yield top performance.

It even matters with supplies. Some brushes will dissolve in resin. Some cups will dissolve in acetone. Some materials will react with metals. Although you can work around these problems, we stock supplies that are all tested to be suitable with any of our resins.
