Resin Research 2000 CE Ultra Epoxy

Resin Research 2000 CE Ultra Epoxy Resin is an optically enhanced resin developed specifically for white surfboards. Its distinctive blue color and Ultra iridescent optical brightening technology are designed to enhance white foam and produce an exceptionally bright white finished board with a subtle cool blue cast.

The optical brighteners work with Resin Research’s UV-stable epoxy technology to enhance the appearance of white foam and help maintain a clean, bright finish over time. Unlike a pigment or tint, the optical enhancement influences how the finished laminate interacts with light rather than adding visible blue color to the finished board.

When compared side by side, 2000 CE Ultra produces a bright white appearance with a subtle blue cast, while 2000 PH Ultra produces a similarly bright white appearance without the additional blue tone. CE Ultra is a great choice for builders who prefer a cooler, blue-enhanced white finish.

For white surfboards only. Because of the optical brightening package, 2000 CE Ultra is not recommended for resin colorwork, airbrushed color, wood laminations, carbon fiber, or any other application where the underlying color needs to remain unaffected. For these applications, use Resin Research 2000 Clear Epoxy Resin.

Developed by surfboard builder and epoxy pioneer Greg Loehr, Resin Research has been developing epoxy systems for surfboard construction for more than 40 years and is the most widely used epoxy resin system in the surfboard manufacturing industry.
