During the 2003 International Boat Builder Exposition (IBEX), held in Fort Lauderdale, FL every February, HK Research introduced its new Low-HAP Deep Tone Accent Colors. This exciting, innovative product is a first for a gel coat producer, and the only accent color gel coat that meets the Marine MACT standard of 33% HAP.

This introduction expands HK Research's already broad product line, making it the only gel coat producer to have a COMPLETE line of Marine MACT Compliant gel coats. Other unique gel coat products introduced by HK Research include:

	HydroShield® - Amazing blister resistant gel coat for marine hulls.
	SolarShield® - Handles high UV situations on marine decks.
	HydroShield® LITE - Low-HAP (MACT Compliant) Marine Gel Coats that surpass the industry standards set with HydroShield®.
	Low-HAP Pigmented Gel Coats that exhibit little change in 10-year simulated UV exposure.
	Low-HAP Clear Gel Coats (well below MACT Standard).
