Skincore

Skincore® is a print blocker and osmosis barrier in one. It’s specifically developed to replace skin coats and barrier coats, shorten cycle time and VOC emissions. Skincore® consists of Finishmat® veil, chopped glass fibers and an engineered core, all stitched together to form a stretchable complex. The dry stack is applied directly behind a gelcoat with the veil to the mold side, followed by the rest of the structural laminate. Finishmat® prevents fiber print of the loose chop and protects the product against osmosis. The chopped glass layer is chosen for optimal impact resistance and processability. Finally, the complex contains an engineered core to prevent print through of the multiaxial layers, core grooving and butt joints behind it.
