The best raw materials available in the world
Gel Coat
The gel coat is the surface layer that gives a fiberglass pools its beautiful smooth texture. It is the same texture as most boats and water slides have. It also gives the pool its color.
Leisure Pools possesses the exclusive USA rights to manufacture with the world leading Aquaguard® gel coats from FGI, 
a division of Nuplex Industries. FGI is a world leader in fiberglass technology.
About Aquagaurd® Gel Coat
Aquaguard® Gel coat finishes have been developed and tested by Fiberglass International (FGI) through the 1980's and 1990's in Australia. Over the years of development, the product called for exceptional chemical resistance, mechanical strength and weathering properties especially the later for use in exterior applications in Australia where the UV intensity is extremely high.
The technology is unique and has been subject to extensive testing programs (both accelerated and real-time) concentrated on the combination of weathering and chemical resistance.
These stunning color gel coats have been specifically developed over the last 12 years for swimming pools and designed and tested to withstand the Australian extreme UV conditions. Simply put they are the very best gel coats in the world and they are only available to be used in manufacturing within in the United States by Leisure Pools.
Resin and Fiberglass
Leisure Pools uses the highest quality isophthalics resin available from AOC, a world leader in resin technology.
AOC isophthalic resin is generally used in the manufacture of water and petroleum tanks. These superior resins possess a far greater resistance, strength and heat tolerance than that of the more common general purpose resins.
To our knowledge Leisure Pools is the only USA manufacturer to use this high quality resin. Why? Simply because we are committed to building the very 
best quality pool available and we will not compromise on our product and stand behind our lifetime structural and 10 year color warranty (for color pools only).
Sure isophthalics resins are more expensive. In contrast, most other manufacturers use low cost “odd lot” resins that can be procured cheaply. So before you buy a pool, check with the supplier of the resin to determine the quality.
The fiberglass used in our pools is supplied by PPG. We use the highest quality Hybon 6000 which has excellent consistency and resin impregnation properties.
PPG’s fiberglass businesses continue to expand through innovation and leadership, making PPG one of the largest global manufacturers of continuous-strand fiberglass. PPG Fiberglass is a world leader in manufacturing continuous strand fiberglass used in a wide range of fiberglass applications.
Vinyl Ester or Barrier Coat Resins
The use of these resins has become widely adopted and has eliminated the problems of blistering that was evident in fiberglass product such as boats and pools about 10 years ago. Regrettably, there are still some manufactures that do not use vinyl ester or barrier coat resins.
Leisure Pools uses the highest quality AOC Vinyl Ester resins to provide the very best barrier coat protection possible.
