Description

B500 series is formulated from a proprietary high-performance vinylester resin combined with high-quality additives.

This barrier coat is designed to provide excellent resistance to osmosis, superior mechanical strength, enhanced chemical resistance, and outstanding crack resistance during demoulding.

It also improves the surface profile of the gelcoat, significantly reducing orange peel and print-through.

Product Characteristics:

  • Significant reduction of print-through
  • Superior flexibility and resistance to cracking
  • Low shrinkage
  • Improved gelcoat film curing and part surface profile
  • Superior mechanical performance
  • Excellent chemical resistance

Primary Applications:

B500 series is recommended for the fabrication of composite parts requiring a high-quality surface finish, such as:

  • Transportation components (rail systems, buses, specialty vehicles, etc.)
  • Swimming pool manufacturing
  • Marine and boat hull construction
  • Water park structures and aquatic equipment
  • Other composite parts requiring a premium surface appearance

Recommended Application Methods:

Spray-up

Description and Specifications

The advanced technology of the barrier coats developed by Gelco gives them the following properties:

Crack resistance

Crack resistance measures a material’s ability to withstand stress without cracking

Chemical resistance

Chemical resistance measures a material’s ability to withstand the action of chemical substances without degrading

Resistance to osmosis

Osmosis resistance measures a material’s ability to prevent the formation of blisters and bubbles caused by water infiltration

Impact resistance

Resistance to impact indicates a material’s ability to withstand shocks without cracking or fracturing

Reduce orange peel effect

Orange peel reduction indicates that a material or coating has a smooth and uniform surface

Low shrinkage

Low shrinkage means that a material retains nearly its original volume during curing

Print-through reduction

Print-through reduction indicates that a material or composite minimizes the appearance of visible fiber patterns on the surface
