Polynt POLYCOR® 23 X Series Gel Coat
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset
Material Notes:	23X series of gelcoats are formulated specifically for composite mold making. It is formulated with a special base resin that permits an excellent resistance to heat distortion even after repeated use. They provide a high gloss and hard durable surface. These tooling gel coats are formulated ready-to-spray after the addition of the proper amount of appropriate methyl ethyl ketone peroxide or cumene hydro peroxide catalyst. The « low opacity» formulation help to detect default during spraying process. See section: «application» in PB-5 (Polyester tooling) because even though manufacturing precautions are used to make tooling gelcoat, a misapplication of these products can produce unacceptable results.
