A surface coat of a specialized polyester resin, either colored or clear, providing a cosmetic enhancement and weatherability to a fiberglass laminate.
A thin, outer layer or resin, sometimes containing pigment, applied to a reinforced plastic moulding to improve its appearance.
A thin surface coat of specially formulated polyester resin used as the surface covering.
a specially formulated polyester resin with thixotropic agents (agents to increase the viscosity and non-sag properties), fillers for flow properties, pigments to give the desired colour and additives for specific qualities such as gel time and cure
resin layer (usually colored) that protects the underlying resin/glass fiber laminate from external influences such as impact, UV light, chemicals, etc.; the side of the molded part that remains most visible or external after demolding, hence the gel coat is the first layer applied to the mold
A colored, polyester-resin material applied to the surface of a molded part. The gel coat hardens to a smooth, durable form and becomes an integral part of the laminate. Fiberglass pools and spas have gel coat finishes.
The outer resin surface of a fiberglass boat, usually colored
Superficial resin protection in a reinforced plastic's laminated. This protection gives to the ended product higher resistance, chemical for example.
A colored resin used as a surface coat for molded fiberglass products. It provides a cosmetic enhancement and environmental protection for the fiberglass laminate underneath.
a surface coating of polyester resin, either coloured or clear, providing cosmetic enhancement or weatherability to a fibreglass laminate.
A thin layer of resin that is painted on the surfaces of the impression without any reinforcing material. A gel coat is necessary so that reinforcing materials present in the rest of the cast, such as fiberglass, won't show through to the surface of the cast and obscure the natural features of the specimen.
A resin applied to the surface of a mold and gelled prior to lay-up. The gel coat becomes an integral part of the finished laminate, and is usually used to improve surface appearance and protect the laminate from the environment.
A thin coat of plastic resin covering fiberglass body panels.
Material used to form the surface of some fiberglass bathtubs or showers, it is a colored, polyester resin.
the first step in the manufacture of our products. Since we use molds, parts are built from the outside in. It provides an extremely tough and shiny outside surface to our products.
The first coat of laminating resin laid up against a mold. The first layer of laminating material is then laid up on this resin after it has hardened or "gelled" slightly.
A quick setting resin applied to the surface of a mold and gelled before lay-up. The gel coat becomes an integral part of the finished laminate, and is usually used to improve surface appearance and bonding. Gelcoats
(1) Resin layer (usually coloured) that protects the underlying resin/glass fibre laminate from external influences such as impact, UV light, chemicals, etc.; the side of the moulded part that remains most visible or external after demoulding, hence the gel coat is the first layer applied to the mould (2) A thin, outer layer of resin, sometimes containing pigment, applied to a reinforced plastics molding as a cosmetic.
A thin outer layer of resin, sometimes with pigment, applied to reinforced plastic molding as a cosmetic.
A thin layer of plastic resin covering fiberglass panels.
