Usage Characteristics

Neogel® 8393-W-XXXX is a pre-promoted, thixotropic gelcoat. Available in black, orange and gray.

Neogel® 8393-W-XXXX has excellent spray performance and can be operated with conventional equipment:

• For compressed air guns, a nozzle diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm and a spray pressure of 4-5 atmospheres are required.
• For non-air guns, the recommended nozzle type is 19/40 or 17/40 at 3.5-4 atmospheres.

In order to obtain the best results, we recommend that our customers ensure the following construction conditions:

• Stir each pail of gelcoat slowly and thoroughly before use to avoid air bubbles brought in by high-speed shearing.
• Gelcoat use at 18°C to 25°C
• Relative humidity below 75%
• Use MEKP* curing agent solution at a concentration of 501 TP3T at a dosage of 1.51 TP3T – 2.01 TP3T.
• Wet film thickness of not less than 600-800um, sprayed in two coats, the first wet film in the 300-400um, and so fully cured and then the second operation, the thickness of 400um.
• In order to extend the service life of the mold, the mold needs to be post-cured before use.
