RESOLCOAT GC HT180 BLACK

1 of 10 products in this brand
RESOLCOAT GC HT180 BLACK epoxy system is a very high TG epoxy gelcoat specially formulated for the production of tooling and large structural composites parts requiring high services temperatures and glass transition temperature up to 180°C. This new generation system is suitable for the manufacture of large molds structures and composite parts. Laminates or molds can be released after a low temperature cure cycle (8h at 50°C). Final thermo-mechanical properties will be obtained after a post curing cycle defined according later in this technical data sheet.

Applications
  • The standard procedure of working with epoxy systems applies to this system. The gelcoat can be applied by brush or by roller.
  • It is recommended to have workshop temperature conditions between 18-25°C in order to facilitate the mixing. A lower temperature will increase the viscosity of the mix as well as its pot life. On the contrary, a higher temperature will reduce the viscosity and the pot life of the mix.

Safety & Health

Health & Safety

Skin contact must be avoided by wearing pro- tective nitrile gloves & overalls or other protec- tive clothing. Eye protection should be worm to avoid risk of resin or hardener entering the eyes. If this occurs, flush the eye with water for 15 minutes, holding the eyelid open, and seek medical attention. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas. Respiratory protection should be worn with ABEKP coded filters.
