Key Benefits of Neogel A400TV-F-9320
- Excellent flame retardancy
- Low smoke density
- Good weatherability
- Good mechanical properties
- Semigloss finish
Why Flame Retardancy and Low Smoke Density Matter
Flame-retardant, low-smoke gelcoats are typically specified for composite parts used in enclosed or occupied spaces, such as transportation interiors and certain building and construction applications, where fire performance and smoke generation are safety-critical in the event of a fire. Buyers with formal fire-rating or transportation compliance requirements should confirm the specific test standards and results for this product against the current technical data sheet.
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 A400TV-F-9320)
- Brush type (the H variant)
Recommended Application Parameters
The spray type can be applied with conventional equipment using a hand spray gun with a nozzle of 2.5-4.0 mm at 7-8 bars pressure. For brush or roller application, two coats are recommended, allowing the first coat to cure completely (2 hours at 20°C) before applying the second.
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. As with any pre-accelerated gelcoat, consistent film thickness across the part is important: under-application can leave fire-retardant performance below the level tested and documented on the data sheet, while over-application can affect cure and finish quality.
