- 100% vinyl ester resin technology rather than polyester chemistry.

Who Is This For?
Shops that have settled on Pearl as their everyday vinyl ester and are buying past quart size, but do not want a 5 gallon pail sitting open on the bench. A gallon covers steady fabrication work for a single-bench shop.
What This Is Not For
Not the grade to reach for when the adhesive must self-level or run into a rod slot, because EHC is the thickest paste Superior publishes in this line; the V-MAX SV-1 syrup grade is built to pour. Pearl is also not a setting adhesive - bonding stone or tile to plywood, backer board, concrete or masonry is the job of the Superior Stone Products E-1500-S Tile & Stone Setting Epoxy.
