Composite Marine Range for FRP Tooling and Boat Construction

Excellence You Can Trust Scott Bader has been the undisputed expert in Marine resin and gelcoat technology for nearly 60 years. It pioneered the use of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) in the marine industry and a Scott Bader resin was used in the first ever composite boat – the Tod 12 Dinghy. Scott Bader has been leading the field of marine composites through an endless drive for future innovations. The Crystic® product range has been widely used by the world’s leading boat builders. Crystic® products have a reputation not only for creating exceptional aesthetics and producing unmatched...

Quality Assured Scott Bader’s rigorous development programme ensures that all new gelcoats are tested under the most extreme conditions, including external weathering using EMMAQUA® in the Arizona desert and 12 months continuous exposure in Florida. In addition, when each batch of gelcoat is manufactured at Scott Bader, it has to pass stringent Q.C tests to ensure consistent quality, colour, surface finish and handling. Extreme natural exposure conditions accelerate product weathering, two to three times faster than normal locations. Customer Experiences “Hi Spec Plastics have been in...

Crystic Crestomer Structural Adhesives Crystic Crestomer® structural adhesives were formulated specifically for the Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP) industry. They are based on Scott Bader’s unique urethane acrylate technology and they exhibit exceptional impact strength, flexibility and toughness. The Crystic Crestomer® pedigree was established over 25 years ago. The first commercial application for Crystic Crestomer® adhesive was in the manufacture of minehunters. The unique properties of Crystic Crestomer® ensured peel and crack resistance was significantly improved. Crystic Crestomer® is...

Crystic Matched Tooling System The quality of your mouldings can only be as good as the quality of your mould, therefore it is essential that an appropriate quality of tooling system is used. Scott Bader’s new high performance Matched Tooling System* achieves an excellent standard of mould production using chemically matched products that work together. The benefits of this tooling system include: ● Significantly increases the lifetime of moulds in production ● Enhanced gloss finish and gloss retention compared to competitive products PLUG PREPARATION It is also important to ensure the plug...

Crystic Mouldguard Often, decommissioned moulds are stored outside where they are subjected to standing water, UV light, dirt and frost. Under these conditions moulds can become damaged or scratched. Many hours are usually wasted repairing moulds, cleaning and polishing the gelcoat surface ready for use. Most moulders would agree that they rarely achieve the same quality of surface that they had before storage. Temporary Protective Coating Crystic® Mouldguard is our peelable temporary protective coating for moulds so eliminating the need for costly repairs. Moulds are back in production...
