Radii Perfection

Our radius compounds provide low exotherm, which means they shrink less, preventing air voids, cracks and time consuming finish work

Radius Compounds That Save You Money

Avoiding print is possible with Arjay's 2121 & 5121 products

In recent years boat builders increasingly have designed sharp radii and style lines into their models. The challenge on the floor becomes laminating those tight radii and not leaving air voids. Plus, this has to be done without creating other problems like gel coat cracks and “print” caused by heat and excessive resin shrinkage. Arjay’s Radius Compounds rise to these challenges by providing a tough, resilient, low shrink substrate between the gel coat and skin laminate that will allow you to produce void free parts that require little to no finish work.

2121 Performance Benefits

  • Lower exotherm and shrinkage for better finishes
  • Reduces air voids and dry fibers in laminates
  • Eliminates surface cracks and blemishes
  • Maintains resiliency to resist cracks
  • High impact resistence

Try Our 5121 Premium Radius Compound

We took our 2121 and added premium resin--and more of it--to create a brushable radius compound that is even stronger and more crack resistant. If your application requires class A cosmetics, pick 5121.
