Coating Resin

Product Details:

FRP Gel Coat Resin is a specialized resin used as the outer layer in Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) or composite products, providing a smooth, durable, and aesthetically appealing surface finish. Gel coat is typically applied as the first layer in moldings and acts as a protective and decorative finish for fiberglass products.

Key Characteristics of FRP Gel Coat Resin:

1. Smooth, Glossy Finish:

   • Provides a high-quality, glossy finish that improves the appearance of the final product.

   • Can be pigmented to create a wide range of colors.

2. Protective Layer:

   • Serves as a barrier against UV light, moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.

   • Increases the durability and longevity of the FRP component.

3. Cures to a Hard, Tough Surface:

   • Gel coats cure into a tough, non-porous surface, which prevents surface damage and degradation.

   • Usually cures at room temperature when mixed with a catalyst (typically MEKP – Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide).

4. Thixotropic:

   • Gel coats have thick consistency to prevent sagging on vertical or overhead surfaces during application, making them ideal for molding or casting.

5. UV Resistance (for outdoor applications):

   • FRP gel coats can be formulated with UV stabilizers to prevent yellowing or degradation from prolonged sunlight exposure.

Product Details:

Powder Coating Resin is the base polymer used in powder coatings, a type of dry finishing process where finely ground particles of resin, pigment, and additives are electrostatically sprayed onto a surface and cured under heat to form a durable, attractive coating.

1. Polyester Resins (Saturated Polyester)

   • Excellent UV and weather resistance.

   • Common in outdoor applications like fences, automotive parts, and architectural aluminum.

2. Epoxy Resins

   • Great corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

   • Typically used for indoor applications due to poor UV resistance.

3. Polyester-TGIC (Triglycidyl Isocyanurate)

   • High gloss and flexibility; widely used in industrial and architectural finishes.

4. Polyurethane Resins

   • Excellent scratch, impact, and chemical resistance with a very smooth finish.

   • Higher cost; used for high-performance coatings.

5. Hybrid Resins (Epoxy-Polyester)

   • Balanced properties; used in appliances, furniture, and office equipment.
