Resin Research- 2000 XBP (Purple) Kits with Hardener

Resin Research 2000 XBP Ultra Epoxy Resin

The epoxy for getting whites really white.

Resin Research 2000 XBP Ultra is a premium epoxy system designed specifically for white surfboards and white EPS laminations. Its optical brightening technology enhances the natural whiteness of the foam and finished laminate, giving your board a noticeably brighter, cleaner appearance.

The Ultra optical brightening technology works by changing the way light interacts with the finished laminate rather than simply adding a colored pigment to the resin. The result is a bright, crisp white finish without leaving a visible tint on the finished board.

If you're building a white board and want it to really pop, this is the resin for the job. 

Why PureGlass recommends 2000 XBP Ultra

• Designed specifically for white surfboards

• Optical brighteners enhance the natural whiteness of EPS foam

• Produces an exceptionally bright, clean-looking white laminate

• UV-stable epoxy technology helps maintain the appearance of the finished board

• Excellent choice for production boards, custom shapes, and high-end white laminations

• Developed specifically around the needs of surfboard construction

XBP Ultra vs. Clear Epoxy

2000 XBP Ultra isn't a general-purpose clear resin. The optical brightening package is specifically intended to enhance whites, so it can affect the appearance of other colors and materials.

For white EPS surfboards, XBP Ultra gives you maximum optical brightening.

For color work, airbrushed designs, wood laminations, carbon fiber, or applications where you need the underlying color to remain completely neutral, we recommend using Resin Research 2000 Clear instead.

Bottom line: If you're glassing white, use XBP or CE Ultra. If you're glassing color, use Clear.

Built for Surfboards

Resin Research has been a staple of the surfboard-building industry for decades, with its epoxy systems developed specifically around the demands of surfboard construction.

At PureGlass, we recommend 2000 XBP Ultra when the goal isn't simply to laminate a board—it's to build a white board that looks exceptionally clean and bright when it comes out of the shaping bay and into the sun.

For white surfboards only.
