Hi Hide Red Tooling Gel Coat


Product Description


5783R90015 Red Tooling Gel Coat
combines neopentyl glycol and iso-resins, monomers and reinforcing fillers for longer high-gloss retention and the extra durable surface needed for mold manufacturing. It develops its maximum barcol hardness and toughness after approximately one week at normal temperature. Heating will speed up this cure process. It is excellent for all FRP mold making applications.

Application

WORKS EXTREMELY WELL IN CONVENTIONAL EQUIPMENT


Tooling Gel Coats are formulated for spray application as supplied. Thinning is not recommended. For catalyzation, use MEKP @ 2% for gel times of 18 - 22 minutes at 77
º F. Do not catalyze at levels below 1-1/2% or above 3%. Apply in several thin overlapping coats rather than a single thick coat. This will help avoid sagging, porosity, solvent entrapment and other defects. Make sure the air pressure is adjusted properly, and that the spray gun lines are free of solvent, water and oil. Apply to a thickness of 24 to 28 mils wet. Brush application is not recommended.

• Keep containers away from heating pipes or radiators.
• Use a "first-in-first-out" system of stock rotation to ensure use within 75 day period.
