"HK Research was founded by Richard and Jan Higgins in 1980 to fill a niche in the FRP and Cultured Marble industries. A gel coat that would perform at the next level was needed. The first ever 100% NPG® Isophthalic gel coats, like our HydroShield®, were an instant success.

In 1995 we opened our new fully-automated plant in Hickory, North Carolina, the only one of its kind in the world. With our climate-controlled raw material storage, HK can accomplish an amazing 40,000 lbs. throughput per hour – 320,000 lbs. per shift.

Working from a central Control Room, HK production managers pump raw materials to a series of high capacity dispersing/mixing vessels, and after a long series of filtration, directly into drums for shipment.

2002 marked the year HK became the second largest producer of gel coat materials in the world. In fact, HK has the capacity to meet all of North America’s gel coat needs, and then some. Today, we are America’s leading gel coat company.

But streamlined production is certainly not our primary goal. It’s just a luxury that allows us to devote more energy to R&D. Look at our record- it speaks for itself."

HK Research R0217 is a resilient, light stabilized void free polyester casting resin.

HK Research R0217

HK Research R0229 resilient, acrylic modified isophthalic casting resin was developed specifically for use with 2,4 Pentanedione Peroxides to offer a faster curing and demolding system for densified casting manufacturers. The use of this special catalyst with the R0229 resin will give the molder castings that will approximate the cure of the BPO-cured resin systems without the amber color usually associated with the BPO-cured systems. White and light pastel-colored castings of R0229 using 2,4 Pentanedione Peroxide do have a slightly green color due to the decomposition products of the catalyst. This green cast is not readily evident in darker solid colors or dark granite castings.
