What PoliResinas does
Poliresinas Indústria e Comércio de Resinas Ltda. is a Brazilian specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1996/1997 and headquartered in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo. The company develops, produces, and sells unsaturated polyester resins (resinas poliéster insaturadas) — thermoset resins produced via polymerization of dihydroxy/polyhydroxy alcohols with dibasic/polybasic acids. Its product portfolio spans three chemistry families (Orthophthalic, Terephthalic, and Isophthalic with NPG) delivered across 12 specialized variants (Poli 400, 500, 501, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 2000, 2001, 9000, and 9500), each engineered for distinct viscosity, reactivity, UV-stability, hydrolysis-resistance, and chemical-resistance properties.
The company serves five primary end-markets: civil construction (continuous lamination, sanitary ware, tanks), automotive refinishing (body fillers, repaint, marble/granite bonding), nautical (boat hulls, gel coats, propellers), sanitation and environment (water tanks, pipes, food-contact vessels), and leisure/sports/electronics (surfboards, helmets, buttons, refrigeration components). Production capacity stands at 1,200 tons per month, with an in-house development laboratory supporting formulation customization for customers such as Maxi Rubber.
Poliresinas operates a direct B2B sales model with no intermediaries, distributing nationally across all major Brazilian states from its single headquarters. Pricing is quotation-based and tailored to resin type, volume, and customer specifications. The company is privately held, founder-aligned (originating from Carplast's resin division), and has earned five consecutive Top of Mind awards from Inbrap (2005-2009) plus a 13th-place ranking in the 2009 Paint & Pintura Award, establishing recognized brand equity in the Brazilian composites industry.

PoliResinas product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Poliresinas develops, produces, and manufactures unsaturated polyester resins in three chemistry families (Orthophthalic, Ortho-Terephthalic, and Isophthalic with NPG) for industrial customers in Brazil. The company offers 12 specialized resin variants (Poli 400 through Poli 9500) tailored for applications including continuous lamination, gel coats, automotive body fillers, nautical composites, construction components, sanitation tanks, and crystal/transparent products. Production capacity stands at 1,200 tons per month, with formulation customization supported by an in-house laboratory.
Product overview
PoliResinas is a manufacturer of unsaturated polyester resins organized as a single product line with multiple specialized resin variants. The product portfolio includes Ortoftálica (orthophthalic), Orto Tereftálico (ortho-terephthalic), and Isoftálica (isophthalic) type resins, each available in pre-accelerated and non-accelerated formulations. Products range from general-purpose versatile resins (Poli 500, Poli 501) to specialized applications such as gel coats (Poli 600, Poli 2000, Poli 2001), automotive body fillers (Poli 9000, Poli 9500), construction materials (Poli 400, Poli 700), nautical products (Poli 2000, Poli 2001), and crystal/transparent applications (Poli 900, Poli 1000). The different resin types vary in viscosity, reactivity, cure cycle, and specialized properties like UV stability, hydrolysis resistance, and chemical resistance to serve specific industry needs.
