Our General Purpose DCPD Laminating Resin has been developed from a special ORTHO/DCPD resin This, in combination with high quality additives, allow optimal performance for the manufacture of open-mold glass fiber reinforced parts with highly esthetique finish. Given their low volume shrinkage, they exhibit minimal glass print. They present excellent application and wet-out properties and have an excellent follow-through cure.

Sogel’s gel coats for interior applications have been developed from a special polyester resin Combined with high quality additives, provides optimum performance to manufacture interior parts. These gel coats offer a good surface finish and good physical properties. The fast and complete cure of our gel coats for indoor applications provide a glossy and uniform finished product, ideal for applications in the transport industry.

Sogel Platinum Gel coats have been developed from a proprietary hybrid resin with high quality pigments and special additives. These gel coats offer outstanding paint-like weathering resistance, optimum crack resistance at demold and have blister and chlorine resistance superior to that of ISO/NPG gel coats. Platinum Gel coats require the use of a two component spray gun application system for the simultaneous application of the co-promoter RM-0018 Sogel.

Our Polyester Barrier Coat 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.

Our 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.

Sogel Sanding Gel coats were developed from a polyester resin to provide very good elongation to reduce cracks. In addition, it has a low volume shrinkage which gives a better surface finish. Their rheological properties give them optimal vaporization characteristics, to resist porosity and flow on vertical walls.

Our vinyl ester laminating resin was formulated with an epoxy vinyl ester polymer This gives it very good physical properties and a high resistance to corrosion and penetration of water. This resin is recommended for the manufacture of FRP structures of small to large size with high production rates at room temperature. It is formulated to cure at room temperature with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.

The formulation of our high performance ISO/NPG Gel coats are based on a special ISO/NPG polyester resin. These products were developed to provide good durability and superior flexibility, while keeping high quality finish and minimal maintenance. The combination of neopentylglycol and isophtalic acid provides excellent resistance to water blistering and osmosis, excellent resistance to chlorine and to the UV light.

Sogel Metallic Gel coats have been developed from a special polyester resin. This, in combination with high quality additives, allow optimal performance for the manufacture of exterior pieces with a metallic effect exposed to weather conditions. These gel coats provide a permanent lustrous finish, an esthetic surface, and an intense color. Excellent UV resistance, and resistance to osmosis make them ideal for applications in the aeronautical industry.

Our General Purpose Laminating Resin has been developed from a polyester resin providing very good mechanic properties. Given their low to medium viscosity, they offer very good wetting of fiber glass. In addition Sogel’s General Purpose Laminating Resins have very good crosslinking and short “Tack Free Time”.

Sogel ISO/NPG Transportation Gel coat has been developed from a special ISO/NPG polyester resin. This, in combination with high quality additives, allows optimal performance for the manufacture of exterior pieces exposed to weather conditions. This Gel coat provides a permanent lustrous finish, an esthetic surface, and an intense color. Superior ultraviolet resistance and resistance to water penetration make it ideal for applications in the aeronautical and transportation industries.
