Known for its high durability, this gelcoat is designed to withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses encountered during the curing and de-molding processes.

Key Features:

• High Durability: Resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longevity of the mold.
• Vibrant Color: The bright orange color ensures clear visibility during application.
• Optimal Performance: Designed specifically for tooling and mold-making applications.

General Information on Gelcoats:

Gelcoats are typically applied to a thickness of 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm (0.02 in to 0.03 in). This ensures a robust outer layer that provides both aesthetic appeal and protection to the underlying composite material. Once applied, gelcoats require a specific curing process, often involving the addition of a catalyst or hardener. Proper curing ensures the gelcoat achieves its maximum strength and durability. It’s essential to work in a well-ventilated area during application, as gelcoats can release fumes. Additionally, due to their flammable nature, it’s crucial to keep them away from open flames or high heat sources.

Usage Recommendations:

For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for mixing and curing to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish.
