Sogel Inc Vinyl Ester Barrier Coat

Sogel Vinyl Ester Barrier Coat was developed from special thixotropic vinyl ester resins. 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 Vinyl Ester 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.
