Styrene-free gelcoats

Product catalog summary

Introduction
DURELASTIC introduces a new styrene-free gelcoat developed by Emil Frei GmbH & Co. KG. This innovative product is structured from a monomer-free UP resin with special low viscosity and VOC-free reactive monomers, offering a sustainable alternative for composite surfaces.

Specifications
The gelcoat is designed to be compatible with standard peroxides and common processing parameters, as well as familiar reinforcement systems based on UP. It boasts a styrene content of almost 0%, significantly reducing emissions of problematic VOC or MAK substances.

Regulatory Compliance
From January 1, 2016, preparations containing 1% styrene must be labeled with H373, indicating potential organ damage from prolonged exposure. This gelcoat circumvents such labeling requirements due to its low styrene content.

Performance
The gelcoat exhibits excellent light and weather resistance, comparable to standard PUR coatings. Performance metrics include:

dE after 500 hours QUV-B: > 5 for standard, < 2.0 for styrene-free
Residual gloss after 500 hours QUV-B: 1% for standard, approximately 40% for styrene-free
dE after 1000 hours WOM: 1.0 for standard, 0.3 for styrene-free
Residual gloss after 1000 hours WOM: approximately 80% for standard, approximately 90% for styrene-free

A patent application has been submitted for this gelcoat. For further inquiries, contact Emil Frei GmbH & Co. KG at their provided contact details.

The functional princi- As a new, innovative idea, the vision of developing a styrene-free gelcoat was realised by FreiLacke. It should ple be processable with the usual peroxides and the common processing parameters. It should also be compatible with the familiar reinforcement systems based on UP. This new gelcoat - structured from a monomer-free UP resin with special low viscosity and VOC-free reactive monomers - has several advantages to offer. As the styrene content is almost 0 %, no emissions of problematic VOC or MAK substances can be expected. Notes on the 6th ATP The labelling requirement...
