Silmar 2880 (249B+) Polyester Surfboard Resin

Silmar 2880 (249B+) Polyester Laminating Resin

Silmar 2880 is the new version of the classic Silmar 249B, enhanced via an acrylic-modified polyester formulation. This resin has better UV-resistance than other surfboard resins, is tougher, and has improved impact resistance to reduce stress and deck cracks. Silmar 2880 contains the same optical brightener as SIL66BE-249B.
It is low viscosity for easy wet out, cures almost water clear and contains ultra violet inhibitors. 

Curing the resin requires adding MEKP Catalyst

Save money and simply add Surfacing Wax to make your own hotcoat/sanding resin and gloss resin (+styrene). No need to buy a separate gallon of poly sanding or gloss resin that will go bad in a short time!

*Polyester resin has a 6 month shelf life. Please use the resin within 5 months of purchase to be sure it it fresh.
