The brand currently states that it has over 2,000 satisfied customers, more than 80 products and a network of over 40 stores nationwide.[1]

POLYKLEAR developed as a supplier of composite-material raw materials, particularly fiberglass and resin systems. The company describes its history as spanning more than three decades and notes that its products have become established among manufacturers and exporters in industries such as home décor, furniture, stone casting and fashion accessories.[1]

Its products are also used in the marine and land-transportation sectors, ranging from small fishing boats to larger fishing vessels and luxury boats. The company additionally identifies DIY hobbyists and handymen as part of its user base.[1]

A historical company publication from S.E.A. Olympus Marketing describes Polyklear Composites as a leading supplier of fiberglass and resins for applications including home décor, fashion accessories, water and land transportation, and furniture.[2]

Founding date

There is a discrepancy in publicly available information regarding the brand’s founding. POLYKLEAR’s current website emphasises 36 years of operation, while a third-party business directory lists an establishment year of 1985.[1] Consequently, POLYKLEAR is best described as a Philippine composite-material brand with more than three decades of history rather than by a definitive founding year without additional corporate documentation.

POLYKLEAR’s portfolio centres on the complete composite-material fabrication process rather than being limited to fiberglass or resin alone. The company’s product categories include:[1]

• Resins
• Fiberglass and reinforcements
• Catalysts and accelerators
• Colourants and diluents
• Fillers and additives
• Moulds, release agents and compounds
• Tools and accessories
• Fiberglass repair kits

This breadth allows POLYKLEAR to function as a comprehensive supplier for those manufacturing fiberglass-reinforced products.

Resins

Resins are one of the brand’s most important product groups. POLYKLEAR offers polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester resin systems for different applications.[1] Examples appearing in its current product portfolio include:

• POLYKLEAR R99-S101 Resin-GP Rigid Fast-Cured
• POLYKLEAR R99-403 Resin-SP Gelcoat Pigmented
• POLYKLEAR R99-300 High Elastic Waterproofing
• POLYKLEAR R99-500 Resin-GP Solid Surface
• POLYKLEAR R99-400 Resin-GP Chemical Resistance ISO
• POLYKLEAR R99-S200 Resin-GP Flexible
• POLYKLEAR R99-501 Resin-GP Water Clear
• POLYKLEAR R99-402 / R99-402-SW Vinyl Ester
• POLYKLEAR epoxy resin systems
• Marine-oriented premixed resin systems[1]

The product range covers applications requiring characteristics such as rigidity, flexibility, water resistance, chemical resistance, transparency, marine suitability and surface finishing.

Fiberglass and reinforcement

Fiberglass reinforcement works together with resin to create fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In a typical composite, the resin acts as the matrix while the fiberglass provides structural reinforcement. This combination is central to many POLYKLEAR applications, particularly:

• Boat building and repair
• Automotive components
• Furniture
• Decorative structures
• Industrial parts
• Construction products
• Tanks and containers
• Sculptures and themed environments

The brand specifically highlights the strength-to-weight advantages of fiber-reinforced composites.[1]

The fundamental technology behind POLYKLEAR is composite fabrication. A simplified FRP system consists of a resin matrix combined with fiberglass reinforcement to form a fiber-reinforced composite. The resin binds the reinforcement together and transfers loads between fibres, while the fiberglass contributes much of the composite’s mechanical strength.

POLYKLEAR emphasises several advantages associated with these materials:

Lightweight

Fiber-reinforced composites provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them useful where weight reduction is important.[1]

Corrosion resistance

Unlike conventional steel, fiberglass composites do not rust. The brand also highlights resistance to water degradation and chemical attack.[1]

Electrical resistance

Fiberglass and resin systems provide electrical insulation, making composites useful in certain electrical and industrial applications.[1]

Fabrication flexibility

Composite materials can be moulded into relatively complex shapes, allowing manufacturers to produce anything from small decorative pieces to large structures. POLYKLEAR describes its materials as suitable for both intricate designs and large-scale construction.[1]

POLYKLEAR identifies several major application areas for its products.[1]

Marine

Marine applications are one of the brand’s longstanding markets. Its materials are used for fishing boats, small boats, luxury boats, boat components, fiberglass repair and marine structures. The company specifically notes the use of its materials by marine and transportation companies.[1]

Transportation

Composite materials are used to manufacture or repair components for land transportation, including fiberglass body parts and other lightweight components.

Furniture

POLYKLEAR materials are used in furniture manufacturing, particularly where manufacturers require moulded, lightweight or decorative composite structures.

Home décor

The brand has a significant presence in decorative fabrication. Fiberglass and resin are moulded into furniture pieces, ornaments, architectural details and other decorative products.

Stone casting and synthetic surfaces

Fillers and resin systems are combined to produce synthetic stone, marble-like surfaces and decorative cast products. POLYKLEAR’s calcium-carbonate filler, for example, is described as suitable for synthetic marble tiles, bathtubs and ornaments.[1]

Construction

Composite materials are used for construction-related products where corrosion resistance, weight reduction or complex moulding is advantageous.

Renewable energy

The brand lists renewable energy among its application areas, reflecting the use of composite materials in certain energy-related structures and components.[1]

Themed environments

POLYKLEAR identifies themed environments as an application area. This encompasses fabricated scenery, large decorative structures, architectural features and similar custom-built environments.[1]

A notable characteristic of POLYKLEAR is that it provides many of the materials required across a composite-production workflow rather than selling a single resin product. The typical workflow supported includes design, mould preparation, release agent application, fiberglass reinforcement, resin application, catalyst/accelerator addition, filler/additive mixing, colouring, finishing and repair/maintenance. Its catalogue includes products corresponding to many of these stages.[1]

This makes the brand relevant to fabricators, manufacturers, boat builders, repair specialists, artisans and composite hobbyists.

POLYKLEAR sells colourants and diluents intended to facilitate resin processing and provide finished products with different colours.[1] One example is POLYKLEAR Toner Paste, a resin-based pigment dispersion designed for non-aqueous industrial coatings and for giving solid colour to resins. Listed colours include white, black, blue, red, yellow, brown, green, orange and grey.[1]

Composite resin systems frequently require catalysts, hardeners or accelerators to initiate or control curing. POLYKLEAR offers products such as Cobalt Clear Special and Cobalt Red, which the company describes as cobalt-based accelerator solutions for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins.[1] These products form part of the wider resin-processing ecosystem offered by the brand.

Fillers and additives are another important part of POLYKLEAR’s portfolio. The company states these materials are used to improve the overall performance and characteristics of composite matrices.[1] Examples include:

• Calcium carbonate
• Talcum-based fillers
• Fumed silica
• Other formulation additives

POLYKLEAR’s calcium carbonate product is specified as a general-purpose filler for applications including rubber compounding, paints, adhesives, synthetic marble tiles, bathtubs and ornaments.[1]

POLYKLEAR’s customer base spans both B2B industrial users and individual fabricators. The company identifies customers and applications in manufacturing, logistics, construction, marine transportation, land transportation, furniture, home décor, stone casting, fashion accessories, and DIY/hobby fabrication.[1] This positions POLYKLEAR between a specialised industrial-material supplier and a consumer-accessible composite-material brand.

POLYKLEAR is associated with S.E.A. Olympus Marketing, Inc., a Philippine supplier and distributor of industrial and raw materials. S.E.A. Olympus describes itself as a producer and distributor of high-quality raw materials and positions POLYKLEAR as one of its composite-material brands.[2]

The current POLYKLEAR website identifies S.E.A. Olympus Marketing as its associated company and describes it as a leading distributor and supplier of raw materials in the Philippines.[1] POLYKLEAR products are also offered through the S.E.A. Olympus online store, which lists dozens of POLYKLEAR products across resin, filler, catalyst, colourant and other categories.[2]

POLYKLEAR’s main office is located at 17-A 1st Avenue, Sta. Maria Industrial Subdivision, Bagumbayan, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines 1630.[1] The company also lists offices in Manila/Taguig, Cebu/Mandaue City and Davao City.[1] The brand’s homepage states that its distribution network includes over 40 stores nationwide.[1]

POLYKLEAR is characterised as a composite-material solutions brand rather than simply a fiberglass supplier. Its positioning is built around three main ideas:[1]

1. Breadth – providing resin, reinforcement, fillers, catalysts, colourants, tools and related materials.
2. Industrial reliability – serving marine, transportation, construction and manufacturing applications.
3. Accessibility – making composite materials available not only to large manufacturers but also to fabricators, craftsmen, hobbyists and DIY users.

The brand’s long operating history and broad product portfolio are central elements of its positioning in the Philippine composite-material market.

POLYKLEAR occupies a specialised position within the Philippine market for fiberglass and polymer-composite raw materials. Rather than competing primarily as a finished-goods manufacturer, its role is largely upstream: it supplies the materials and supporting products that other companies and individuals use to manufacture finished composite products. Consequently, a POLYKLEAR product may ultimately become part of a boat hull, furniture component, decorative sculpture, automotive part, synthetic-stone product or industrial structure.
