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. Refer to Polynt’s POLYCOR® Color Card for color selection. Standard base white ArmorFlex® is 953WJ340.

Armorflex® 953 Neutral Base gel coats are high performance products formulated for the fiberglass industry.

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.

Armorflex® 953 Base White gel coats are high performance, iso/npg products that display desirable high gloss buffback® qualities. Buffback® qualities of these gel coats are demonstrated as: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 the repair patch and surrounding refinished area.Higher gloss recoverability from lower gloss molds. Higher gloss can be perceived as a deeper, richer color, providing an enhanced cosmetic appearance to the gel coated part. While offering these benefits, the Armorflex® 953 series gel coats have retained the important construction application qualities expected from ccp gel coats, such as resistance to porosity, tearing, and color separation; sag resistance; consistent liquid properties; excellent patchability; and more. All of these properties contribute to the high quality appeal in FRP parts made from ccp high gloss Armorflex® buffback® gel coats. Gel coats in this series resist weathering and blistering because they are formulated to give high performance against water and certain chemicals, although blister resistance is best with gel coats in the 943 series. Gel coats in the 953 series are made with neopentyl glycol Npg and were primarily developed for sanitary and quality marine applications; however, they should be used in any FRP application where high performance characteristics are desired. 953 gel coats utilize this unique glycol to provide a gel coat that surpasses previous commercial gel coats in its resistance to blistering. They also contain isophthalic acid iso as a cocomponent rather than orthophthalic acid. The isophthalic functionality is used, rather than the orthophthalic to complement the NPG for better end use properties. These gel coats provide durable, reduced maintenance products. These 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.
