Epoxy Tooling Gel Coat

Our orange tooling gel coat offers excellent contrast allowing you to gauge the gel coat coverage and differentiate between your finished part and the mold.

Epoxy tooling gel coat.

The table below gives an indication of pot life and cure properties. Tooling gelcoat cures to a much harder surface than regular gelcoat. 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. Red tooling gelcoat is a polyester based tooling gelcoat.

Tooling gel coat is a scratch resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss hardness and craze resistance and minimum distortion are key. Regular gecoat is meant for parts it is less brittle. 2 by volume or weight. Gelcoat usually referes to polyester group of resins.

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

For best results an ambient temperature of at least 20 c 68 f is recommended. 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 had a try with my 4 7mm nozzle and gelcoat seems to be just a little too thick to spray.

Tooling gel coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss retention superior hardness exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount. Ensure that both gelcoat and hardener containers are within this temperature range before use. A high performance resin with excellent physical and mechanical properties. Tooling gel coat comes with out wax.

I know it could not be thinned too much but i have a spray gun with tips ranging from 1 to 4 7 mm. Ideal for all mould making applications. Comes pre pigmented red. Hi can i add some product for example acetone to thin the epoxy tooling gelcoat a little bit so i can spray it.

A range of epoxy tooling gelcoats from verometal. The life of a polyester mold may be extended considerably by the use of tooling gel.
