WHERE THE BUSINESS OF BOATBUILDING GETS DONE

Builders, designers, repairers, dealers, manufacturers and more — anyone involved in the marine industry knows that IBEX is the place to discover the future of boatbuilding.  See new innovations from leading marine manufacturers — and experience these technologies first-hand. Hear from the most respected names in the business in the IBEX Seminar Series — and take new knowledge to put into action as soon as you return home. Make valuable connections with new partners from around the world — and conduct the business discussions that matter to your bottom line.

More boats in North American have been made with AOC resins than any other kind.
Hydropel® High Performance resins and gel coats are preferred by major North American boat manufacturers for their easier processing, lower emissions, smoother surfaces and proven durability. AOC scientists continue to add new marine technologies for superior blister protection and stronger laminates.
To help manufacturers meet MACT standards, AOC uses its leadership position in closed mold processes to develop alternative manufacturing processes using Hydropel®, RTM Marine Resins. AOC advances with new RTM resins offers boat builders the opportunity for superior parts and hulls without emission issues.
AOC has a full technical support team from the inception of new polymers through trials and scale-ups to onsite processing support. This total package approach has kept AOC customers in the forefront of technology.
