Overview
Neogel 8373-W-9315 UV is an iso/neopentylglycol (NPG) gelcoat that combines easy application with good resistance to long immersion in water, giving it good blister resistance for demanding marine and industrial environments. As one of the recommended international brand products in our resin range, this gelcoat is supplied with supply chain resource support for composite manufacturers who need a certified, pre-accelerated gelcoat system. Because it is pre-accelerated and thixotropic, it is designed to be ready for use straight from the container, which simplifies quality control on the shop floor compared with systems that require operators to add accelerator on site.
Key Benefits of Neogel 8373-W-9315
- Easy application with good air release
- Good resistance to long immersion in water (good blister resistance)
- Excellent weatherability with less yellowing over time
- Good mechanical properties
- Conforms to USA ANSI-Z-124-1
- Approved by DNV Italia and Italian RINA
These certifications are particularly relevant for marine vessel builders, since DNV and RINA approvals are widely recognized classification society standards in boat and ship construction.
Product Types and Application Methods
This gelcoat is pre-accelerated, thixotropic, and ready for use, available in a wide range of colors in the following types:
- Spray type (Neogel 8373-W-9315 UV)
- Brush type (Neogel 8373-W-9315 UVH)
It can also be supplied in standard or additional versions on request, including paraffinated spray and paraffinated brush versions.
Recommended Application Parameters
The spray type can be applied with conventional equipment using these recommended settings:
- Spray gun: nozzle diameter 2.0-3.5 mm, pressure 4-5 bar
- Airless equipment: nozzle types 18/40-21/40
To obtain optimum performance, it is advisable to operate as follows:
- Application temperature between 18°C and 25°C
- Cure with recommended MEKP* 50% solution, adjusting the amount between 1.0-2.5%
- Film thickness of 600-800 g/m²
*Butanox M50 (Akzo Nobel). Always confirm current application parameters against the latest technical data sheet before production use, since equipment, ambient conditions, and part geometry can affect optimal settings. Staying within the specified nozzle size, pressure, and film thickness range matters more than it might seem: applying the gelcoat too thin can leave the laminate under-protected, while applying it too thick increases the risk of cracking or print-through once the part is in service. Operators new to this product typically run a test panel to confirm spray pattern, film build, and cure behavior under their specific shop conditions before moving to full production parts.
