Polynt ArmorFlex® 953 Series HIGH GLOSS BUFFBACK® High Performance Flexible Gel Coat
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset

Material Notes: Polynt Composites’ ArmorFlex® 953 Series gel coats are high performance products formulated for the fiberglass industry. They are primarily formulated for marine and sanitary applications, but should be used in any application where water and chemical resistance are needed. ArmorFlex® 953 Series also have exceptional gloss and buffing characteristics. While offering these benefits, the ArmorFlex® 953 Series gel coats have retained the important construction application qualities expected from Polynt Composites gel coats, such as resistance to porosity, tearing, and color separation; sag resistance; consistent liquid properties; excellent patchability; and more. These all add up to higher quality appeal in FRP parts made from Polynt’s ArmorFlex® HIGH GLOSS BUFFBACK® gel coats. ArmorFlex® 953 Series gel coats have enabled customers to meet and surpass all requirements of the American National Standard for plastic bathtubs, shower receptors and shower stalls, ANSI Z124.1, .2 and .3 –1995, Sec. 6.1.1. Gel coats in the 953 Series require only the addition of the proper amount of the appropriate methyl ethyl ketone peroxide to cure. ArmorFlex® HIGH GLOSS BUFFBACK® gel coats are available in the same wide range of colors as other POLYCOR® gel coats. Standard base white ArmorFlex® is 953WJ340.

Features and Benefits:

  • Excellent water resistance for reduced osmotic blistering
  • Good chemical resistance for long, lasting durable finishes
  • Easier, quicker gloss recovery (less buffing time to achieve gloss)
  • Higher gloss recovery when polishing back aged or exposed gel coat surfaces
  • Higher gloss in patches and surrounding refinished area
  • Higher gloss recoverability from lower gloss molds
