General Purpose Gelcoats
Orthophthalic-based general purpose gelcoats are ideal, economical surface coating solutions for interior applications and products to be subsequently painted. With superior gloss, color saturation and easy applicability, they can be used in a wide range of industrial applications.
- High brightness and color saturation
- Economic and efficient solution
- Easy application and workability
- Colored and transparent options
Key Features
Advantages
Economic Efficiency
General purpose gelcoats are more cost effective than isophthalic and other specialty gelcoats. It offers cost-effective solutions in projects that do not require high performance in indoor applications. Thanks to its low unit cost, it provides economical application even on large surface areas.
Easy Applicability
Easy application thanks to excellent flow properties and workability. It can be easily applied by spray, brush or roller. Curing times are optimized and increase production efficiency. Acts as an ideal primer for surfaces to be painted afterwards.
