Sogel Inc Polyester Barrier Coats

Sogel Polyester Barrier Coats was developed from a proprietary resin blend with high quality raw materials and special additives. This coating acts as a barrier coat between the laminate and the gelcoat. This formulation provides superior osmosis resistance along with enhanced thermal and cracking resistance properties. Sogel’s Polyester Barrier Coats allow accelerating the cure and the demoulding time, while strongly reducing the risk of print through, orange peel and blisters on gelcoat surface.
