Enguard AIDA is an in-mold coating auxiliary product from INEOS Composites, supplied as part of the Enguard product line for fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) and casting polymer manufacturing. Enguard AIDA is formulated from specially tailored polymer resins blended with selective colorants and additives, giving FRP fabricators a reliable in-mold coating option for gelcoat and surface protection applications.
Enguard AIDA Product Overview
This product belongs to the Enguard product family, which INEOS Composites describes as consisting of specially tailored polymer resins blended with selective colorants and additives. These formulations are designed to provide the reliable protection manufacturers expect for in-mold coatings used on FRP and casting polymer parts. As a recommended international brand product, it is positioned for buyers who need consistent in-mold coating performance backed by supply chain resource support.
Key Liquid Properties of Enguard AIDA
According to the product data sheet, the liquid property analysis for this auxiliary includes the following values:
- Viscosity (23°C): 6600 mPa·s
- Cone and Plate Viscosity: 100 poise
- Gel time: 9 minutes
These figures are based on the latest information INEOS Composites can currently obtain, and the manufacturer notes that different conditions used by customers will affect the performance of the final product, so the values should not be regarded as a quality guarantee. Buyers evaluating this auxiliary for a specific process should confirm current data with the supply chain before finalizing a formulation.
Application: In-Mold Coating for FRP and Casting Polymers
This product and the wider Enguard product range are built to deliver the reliable protection manufacturers expect for in-mold coatings of fiber reinforced plastics and casting polymers. The auxiliary is blended with selective colorants to support consistent appearance and surface protection across production batches, which is a key consideration for buyers running repeat FRP molding programs.
Compatibility with INEOS Instint Color Mixing
Some Enguard gel coat products, including formulations in this line, are suitable for use with INEOSâ Instint automatic color mixing machine service. This compatibility can help composite fabricators streamline color matching and reduce manual mixing variability when this product is used as part of a broader in-mold coating program.
Buyers sourcing this product for FRP production can pair it with other process chemicals from our auxiliary agent product range, which covers additives, release agents and related consumables for composite manufacturing lines.
