Our Approach to Resin Selection and Customised Resin Formulation.
At Resin Services, we understand that every project has unique requirements. That's why we take a comprehensive and collaborative approach to resin formulation, ensuring that our clients receive resins perfectly suited to their applications. Here are some of the services we provide.

Epoxy Formulation Analysis and Optimisation
If you already have an epoxy system in use, our laboratory can perform a detailed resin analysis and optimisation study. Using techniques such as thermal analysis, mechanical testing, and chemical characterisation, we identify opportunities to:
- Improve performance and mechanical strength
- Enhance workability or reduce cure time
- Lower formulation cost through raw material optimisation
Our process-driven approach ensures measurable improvements - whether the goal is better performance, improved sustainability, or cost efficiency.
Custom Epoxy Adhesives and Laminating Resins
Our team formulates epoxy adhesives and laminating resins designed for a wide range of fabrication processes, including casting, hand lay-up, and vacuum infusion.
Whether you require a fast-curing resin for production or a controlled, low-shrinkage system for precision work, we can tailor a formulation to meet your process and substrate requirements.
UV Stable Epoxy Systems for Outdoor Applications
For projects exposed to Australia’s harsh climate, UV degradation can be a major limiting factor.
Resin Services formulates UV-stable epoxy resins using advanced stabilisers and modifiers to maintain clarity, colour stability, and mechanical integrity over time. These systems are ideal for marine coatings, architectural composites, and outdoor adhesives where long-term weather resistance is critical.
Resin and Catalyst Selection for Spray-Up and Casting
Selecting the right resin–catalyst combination is critical to achieving consistent cure profiles and reliable mechanical performance. Resin Services provides independent advice on UPE and VE resin selection, optimising for parameters such as:
- Gel time and cure rate
- Exotherm control for thick castings
- Viscosity and spray-up compatibility
Our technical team can recommend resins and initiator systems tailored to spray-up, hand lay-up, or casting applications, ensuring proper handling characteristics and minimising rework or void formation.
Custom UPE/VE-Based Structural Adhesives
To meet tightening environmental and occupational standards, we also supply and formulate styrene-free UPE and VE systems. These resins deliver comparable mechanical and thermal performance without the emissions associated with traditional styrene monomers.
Our formulations utilise low-odour, low-VOC reactive diluents that reduce workplace exposure while maintaining compatibility with conventional curing systems and reinforcement materials. These are ideal for
enclosed manufacturing environments or projects requiring improved sustainability credentials.
Custom Formulation of Acrylic Coatings with Excellent UV Resistance
Acrylic coatings are essential when long-term colour retention, surface gloss, and environmental resistance are required. Resin Services designs custom acrylic coating formulations with excellent UV resistance and weathering stability, suitable for outdoor or high-visibility applications.
These formulations can be tailored for:
- Architectural and marine coatings
- Automotive and industrial topcoats
- Composite component protection
Through careful selection of monomers, crosslinkers, and stabiliser packages, our coatings maintain optical clarity and surface integrity even under prolonged UV and moisture exposure. We also assist with substrate adhesion optimisation, surface preparation advice, and compatibility with primers and clear coats.
Custom Formulation of Acrylic Adhesives
Resin Services also formulates acrylic-based structural and pressure-sensitive adhesives that combine fast curing with excellent bond strength, clarity, and resistance to ageing. These systems can be engineered for bonding metals, plastics, composites, or glass — offering superior performance where optical or UV exposure properties are critical.
Our team can adjust rheology, open time, and cure mechanism (e.g.,
UV-curable,
anaerobic, or
thermal) to meet specific manufacturing or assembly requirements. We also perform
comparative testing against existing adhesive systems to identify improvements in mechanical performance, cost, and processability.
