Epoxy Tooling Gel Coat

With excellent heat and impact resistance easy layup and high gloss finish.

Epoxy tooling gel coat.

I believe it is also more brittle but that is ok for a mold because you will not flex the mold you will the part. Ensure that both gelcoat and hardener containers are within this temperature range before use. Comes pre pigmented red. Ideal for all mould making applications.

These tooling gelcoats offer heat resistantane up to 195 degrees and very low shrinkage. They are cured to form crosslinked polymers and are subsequently backed with thermoset polymer matrix composites which are often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass or epoxy resin which is most commonly used with carbon fibre for higher specific strength. Therefore it can be polished to a higher luster. Gelcoat usually referes to polyester group of resins.

Tooling gel coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat used for fabricating molds when gloss retention superior hardness exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount.

Hi can i add some product for example acetone to thin the epoxy tooling gelcoat a little bit so i can spray it. Red tooling gelcoat is a polyester based tooling gelcoat. I had a try with my 4 7mm nozzle and gelcoat seems to be just a little too thick to spray. 2 by volume or weight.

Eg60 epoxy tooling gel coat can be used in ambient temperatures between 15 c 59 f and 30 c 86 f. Gelcoat the most common gelcoats are thermosetting polymers based on epoxy or unsaturated polyester resin chemistry. I know it could not be thinned too much but i have a spray gun with tips ranging from 1 to 4 7 mm. For best results an ambient temperature of at least 20 c 68 f is recommended.
