CCP introduces Technology

With the launching of its new IMEDGE™ Series, CCP presents a new and revolutionary line of polymer coating technologies (PCT) and polymer resin technologies (PRT) products.

“The chemistry of these new products has been developed to advance our industry beyond the limits of conventional in-mold products,” said Paul Colonna, CCP's Vice President for Composites.

“While the existing gel coat technology has been excellent and has served our industry well for the past forty odd years, it has obviously had its limitations,” Mr. Colonna continued. “The IMEDGE™ line establishes a new foundation―a new base line―for in-mold coatings technology. Concepts we once perceived as unattainable—like zero HAPS, weatherproof, crackproof, blushproof—are becoming very realistic possibilities. CCP is now perfectly positioned to address these industry needs while―at the same time―bringing something truly remarkable and completely new to the marketplace.”  

CCP's new IMEDGE™ series is inaugurated with three breakthrough products:

• The IMEDGE™ PCT100 Series, which features deep, rich, lasting colors with maximum resistance to blisters and fading, also sharply improves patch and gloss recovery in MACT-compliant technology.
• The IMEDGE™ PCT600 Series, a toughened coatings formulation that delivers enhanced durability with resistance to cracking, yellowing, chalking, water absorption, and blisters while improving process efficiency.
• The IMEDGE™ PRT1000 Series, a toughened resin formulation that improves resistance to cracking and chipping both in-process and in consumer use.

Industry break-through products, such as these in the IMEDGE™ Series, driven by innovative research paired with responsive and knowledgeable customer and technical service, have made Cook Composites and Polymers the international leader in production and distribution of polyester gel coats and resins. CCP is the world's largest and leading producer of polyester gel coats, and, along with associated companies Cray Valley and Sartomer, the second-largest producer of coatings resins in the world.
