High Quality Resin & Fibreglass Mat | Bulk & Retail Supplies

Premium Resin and Fibreglass Mat by raeK Chemicals Ltd

Uganda’s Trusted Supplier for Industrial, Marine, and Creative Applications

Welcome to raeK Chemicals Ltd, your definitive source for high-performance resin systems and fibreglass reinforcement materials.

Strategically located at Plot 63, 8th Street, Namuwongo Road, Industrial Area, Kampala City, we bridge the gap between heavy industry and the independent craftsman.

Unlike general hardware shops, we are a specialist industrial chemical wholesaler and retailer, offering technical expertise alongside an unrivalled product range.

Whether you are fabricating a water tank, repairing a boat hull, laminating a vehicle body, or casting decorative jewellery, the structural integrity of your project starts with the quality of your resin.

Do not gamble with cheap, imported fillers that crack under pressure. Experience the difference with raeK Chemicals.

Why raeK Chemicals Beats the Competition

Most suppliers in Kampala offer a “one-size-fits-all” bucket of resin without understanding your application. That approach leads to uncured surfaces, brittle laminates, and wasted money. Here is how we ensure your success:

• Genuine UK-Standard Formulations: Our supply chain is managed by chemical specialists who understand viscosity, reactivity, and tensile strength. We supply unadulterated, fresh stock—never old, yellowed, or pre-gelled material.

• Pay for What You Need: We are the only stockist in the region offering a true project-scale range. No more buying a 20-litre jerry can for a tiny repair. Test your compatibility with a 100ml tester kit, and scale up to 1kg, 5kg, 25kg, or full drum packs when you are satisfied.

• Technical Backup: We do not just sell chemicals; we sell results. Our team advises on mixing ratios, ambient temperature adjustments, and mould preparation.

Our Core Product Portfolio

1. Epoxy Resin & Hardener (Crystal Clear System)

The premium choice for strength, clarity, and zero shrinkage. Our epoxy system is the market leader for chemical anchoring, high-end woodworking, and electrical encapsulation.

• Main Features:

  • Ultra-Clear Finish: Ideal for river tables, live-edge wood casting, and art preservation.

  • High Bond Strength: Perfect for structural repairs on concrete, metal, and timber where polyester resin would fail.

  • Industrial Anchoring: Suitable for rebar doweling in civil engineering projects.

• Available Options: Low-viscosity laminating epoxy for wetting out fibreglass cloth, and thixotropic adhesive pastes for vertical bonding. We stock slow, medium, and fast hardeners to match Kampala’s heat and your working time requirements.

2. General Purpose (Polyester) Resin & Fibreglass Mat

The workhorse of the composites industry. Our General Purpose Polyester Resin is the backbone for automotive bodywork, boat building, and waterproofing. When combined with our high-quality Fibreglass Mat, you achieve a durable, impact-resistant laminate that lasts for decades under the East African sun.

• Application Ready: Pre-accelerated, thixotropic (non-sag) options available. Simply add our MEKP catalyst/hardener.

• Emulsion Bonded Mat: We supply premium CSM (Chopped Strand Mat) in 300gsm, 450gsm, and 600gsm. Our mat wets out quickly and conforms to complex mould shapes without pulling apart.

• Why It’s Better: Cheap mats often have a binder that does not dissolve easily in resin, leaving white, dry spots that cause delamination. Our emulsion-bound mat dissolves fully, ensuring a clear, robust laminate every time.

3. UV Roofing Resin

Stop patching and start sealing. Traditional roofing sheets become brittle and leak over time. Our specialist UV-stabilised Roofing Resin creates an impermeable, high-gloss barrier that reflects heat and withstands thermal expansion.

• Self-Levelling Flow: Penetrates pinholes and rust spots effortlessly.

• Fast Cure for Rain Seasons: Formulated to cure rapidly before the afternoon downpour, preventing wash-off.

• Flexibility: Does not crack when the roof profile expands during the midday heat.

Sizes That Make Sense: From 100ml to Drum Packs

We understand the cash-flow constraints of small businesses and the volume demands of large contractors.

Note: We stock the matching catalyst/hardener for every resin system. You cannot proceed without it—we ensure you leave with the complete system, not just the raw material.

The Fibreglass Mat Advantage: Proper Reinforcement

Resin alone is brittle; strength comes from the glass fibre. We stock premium-grade Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) and Woven Roving. Our mats are locally stocked in bulk, cutting your transport and import headache.

By pairing raeK Resin with raeK Mat, you eliminate the chemical incompatibility risks that plague projects using mismatched products from different suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: I’m a start-up making small art items. Can I buy Epoxy Resin in small quantities to test my market?
A: Absolutely. We are the champions of the SME sector. Buy a 100ml or 1kg kit to perfect your craft. When your orders increase, we scale with you seamlessly to wholesale drums.

Q: What is the difference between Epoxy Resin and Polyester Resin?
A: Polyester resin is cheaper, cures quickly, and is standard for general fibreglass (roofs, tanks, boat hulls). Epoxy resin has superior adhesive strength, is waterproof, and does not shrink, making it ideal for repairs over existing materials, heavy-duty bonding, and where a crystal-clear finish is required.

Q: Do you deliver outside Kampala?
A: Yes. We dispatch across Uganda and the East African region. Contact our sales office via WhatsApp to arrange transport logistics. We pack liquid chemicals according to the highest safety standards to prevent transit damage.

Q: Why is my fibreglass mat not becoming clear when I wet it out?
A: This is a classic sign of cheap, powder-bonded mat or incompatible resin. Our emulsion-bound mat is specifically designed to “melt” into the styrene in our polyester resin, becoming optically clear and fully saturated. If you are having this issue, switch to raeK Mat immediately.
