Redefining Marine Reinforcements

At Owens Corning, we support the marine industry with Fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite solutions that are safe, reliable, and able to face tough conditions in the most demanding environments. Fiberglass materials can be used in boat hulls, decks, and structural members. For decades, they have outperformed traditional materials, and will continue to surpass your standards for many years to come. Whether you use spray up, hand lay-up, infusion, or light RTM, Owens Corning has products tailored to meet your process and part performance needs.

Process Features

Spray Up
Designed for fast wet-out, ease of rolling, even glass dispersion for good aesthetics, and low fuzz, and low process disruptions.
Hand Lay Up
Designed for drapability and conformability, wet carry strength, capability to produce good aesthetics, as well as fast wet-out, and ease of rolling.
Infusion
Designed for high permeability, uniform resin flow, and drapability, as well as capability to produce good aesthetics and fast wet-out.
Light-RTM
Designed for low fiber print, conformability and stretch-ability, permeability, as well as capability to produce good aesthetics.
