Trident ABS

Trident E-ABS is a unique blend of polymers specifically formulated to meet the needs of the marine industry and boat builders who lays-up fiberglass. Our unique foamed ABS process allows for superior adhesion to fiberglass and commercial adhesives. It has no water absorption, screw retention of hardwood, and the rigidity to be used in everything from cleat blocks to bulkheads. It is an excellent replacement for wood, metal, polyethylene, and foam urethanes. It can also be used in other applications in addition to marine, such as flooring for stages or as a support layer in transportation flooring. 

Surface Texture: Rough, developed to increase surface area for enhanced bonding

Screw Retention: greater than 713 lbs. per in pull with a #8 screw

Drill and Tap: direct bolting saves time and money

Bonds: excellent to polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, epoxies, urethanes, and methacrylate adhesives

Floats: specific gravity of .85

Rigid: similar to plywood of equal thickness

Trident IM

Trident IM is available in a whole spectrum of colors with the added advantage of smaller minimum order quantities and fast color matching service than other acrylic sheet offerings. Trident IM (Cell Cast Impact Modified Acrylic) is designed for functions that require enhanced impact resistance. Suitable for a range of diverse areas, from marine to automotive and window glazing, this sheet has substantially more impact strength than standard cell cast acrylic for your demanding applications. Trident IM is strong, durable, and hard-wearing with enhanced chemical and scratch resistance yet remains lightweight and easy to fabricate and install. This sheet is rigid, with a higher maximum service temperature and outstanding laser processing performance, making any design brief effortless to shape and style; therefore, less time-consuming and more cost-effective for the customer.

Trident Light HDPE

Trident Light HDPE is produced utilizing co-extrusion technology that allows for solid outer surfaces with a foamed core. The core is produced with a closed cell structure that eliminates propagation of moisture within the interior and is approximately 25% less weight than solid HDPE enabling opportunities for improved performance and cost savings.

Trident PVC

Designed to meet the demands of Marine applications, Trident Type A and Type B PVC, is a lightweight but durable foam sheet perfect for a range of uses. Trident Type A PVC outperforms alternate materials such as wood with superior impact strength and dimensional stability. It will not swell or absorb moisture. Trident Type A PVC is an excellent alternative for upholstery applications. Manufacturers and boat builders find it easy to fabricate with exceptional staple and screw retention and a proven track record – durable and long-lasting. Sanded Trident Type B PVC has excellent screw retention with a sanded surface for lamination and has outstanding adhesion to fiberglass.
