In boatbuilding, fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) construction remains the standard for creating lightweight, durable, and water-resistant vessels. At Sharon NZ Limited, we provide marine-grade chopped strand mats (CSM) and polyester resin systems optimized for hulls, decks, and structural components.
Our materials are engineered to support:
Monohull and multihull vessels, dinghies, and personal watercraft
Deck panels, transoms, bulkheads, and internal fittings
Tooling molds for marine parts fabrication
We also offer specialty marine-grade adhesives under our Epoxite range, ideal for panel bonding, internal joinery, and structural assembly of FRP components.
Using orthophthalic, isophthalic, terephthalic, and vinyl ester resins, combined with fibreglass layers, our systems deliver:
Excellent water resistance and osmosis protection
Strong adhesion and wet-out with minimal air entrapment
Even curing and reduced tackiness for consistent lamination
Compatibility with wet lay-up, vacuum infusion, and hand lay-up methods
Colouring systems can also be supplied for gelcoats and resin pigmentation, ensuring aesthetic quality alongside performance.
Whether for professional shipyards or custom builds, our FRP solutions enable superior craftsmanship, long-term performance, and reliability in harsh marine environments.
Automotive Manufacturing
Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) using fibreglass mats and polyester resins are widely adopted in the automotive industry for lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant parts. Sharon NZ Limited supplies FRP-grade reinforcements and resin systems ideal for:
Exterior components: bumpers, hoods, fenders, side skirts
Interior panels: dashboards, trunk linings, and door trims
Structural supports: battery enclosures, composite reinforcements
Our orthophthalic or isophthalic resins, combined with chopped strand mats or woven rovings, provide:
Excellent surface finish and paint adhesion
Enhanced impact resistance and dimensional stability
Fast wet-out and uniform curing without post-lamination tackiness
These materials are optimized for hand lay-up, spray-up, and vacuum infusion, making them suitable for both OEM production and aftermarket part fabrication.
Whether for passenger vehicles, utility trucks, or specialty builds, our FRP systems ensure high-performance, cost-effective solutions that meet industry standards.
The aerospace industry demands materials that are lightweight, structurally reliable, and resistant to environmental stress. Fibreglass-reinforced plastics (FRPs), when combined with high-performance polyester resins, provide an economical and efficient solution for non-critical structural and interior components.
Sharon NZ Limited offers fibreglass fabrics, chopped strand mats, and precision-grade resin systems engineered for:
Interior panels, fairings, and access covers
Non-load-bearing aerodynamic components
Molds and tooling for aircraft part fabrication
Our orthophthalic and isophthalic polyester resins offer:
Excellent adhesion to fibreglass for multi-layer layups
Consistent wet-out and uniform resin distribution for optimal curing
Low shrinkage and high dimensional stability
Compatibility with vacuum bagging, hand lay-up, and spray-up techniques
Designed for use in controlled, high-precision environments, our FRP systems support repeatable manufacturing while delivering long-term resistance to vibration, temperature changes, and air humidity, all critical for aerospace interiors and composite shells.
Sharon NZ’s FRP solutions help meet aerospace manufacturing demands where weight, cost-efficiency, and process reliability are key.
