Demystifying Gelcoat: A Complete Guide by Revex
Gelcoat is a crucial component that defines the look and durability of fiberglass products. At Revex, we specialize in formulating high-performance gelcoat solutions. This guide covers everything you need to know about gelcoat.
What is Gelcoat?
Gelcoat is a specialized polyester resin that is applied to mold surfaces to create an outer layer on finished fiberglass products. It serves as a barrier against damage from impact, UV rays, and chemicals. Gelcoat consists of polyester resins blended with pigments, fillers, thixotropic agents, and performance-enhancing additives. It cures to form a solid, glossy finish.
