Benefits

Neogel® 8393-W-XXXX has a combination of important characteristics: Easy application, very high gloss and Barcol hardness, superior mechanical properties and exceptional styrene resistance especially at elevated temperatures.

Application Characteristics

Neogel® 8393-W-XXXX is pre-accelerated, ready for use. It can be cured with standard MEKP (Butanox M50 or equivalent), without any foaming (microporosity), which is typical for many traditional vinyl ester resins.

The gelcoat has excellent spray properties and can be applied with conventional spray equipment with the following recommended settings:

• Spray gun: nozzle ∅ 2.5-3.5 mm, pressure 4-5 bar.
• Airless equipment: nozzle 19/40 or 17/40 for smaller moulds, pressure 3.5–4 bar, air assist maximum (6 bars).

Due to the relatively small nozzle it is recommended to use an internal filter of 100 mesh at the spray gun.
