With its unique combination of properties, Crystic Gelcoat 14PA has shown that it can overcome one of the most serious problems associated with FRP composite tooling - the phenomenon known as water-marking. The imperfections associated with water-marking can only be seen on the mouldings taken from the mould. Attempts at water marking repairs on moulds have limited short-term success. When using Crystic Gelcoat 14PA you can expect elimination of water-marking imperfections and the mould to have:- > Hi Spec Plastics have been in business since 1968 designing and manufactuing life raft containers and parts for Marine, Aviation and leisure industries. Over the years we have tried and tested a number of different tooling gelcoats but none have exhibited the performance excellence of Crystic 14PA. One of the moulds produced using 14PA has had over 4,000 lifts over a number of years with no evidence of dulling, crazing or cracking of the gelcoat surface. > Ӣ׏ a uniform level of gloss across the whole surface > ● a smooth finish with no surface undulations > Gary Bates - Managing Director, Hi Spec Plastics >

Wessex initially changed to 14PA gelcoat after trying several iso tooling gelcoats in our standard build method for RTML tools. With the iso gelcoats we found that the moulds suffered stress cracks and excessive shrinkage from post curing at 85 > o c, and from continued cycling in production at 55 to 75 > o c.Wessex has compared 14PA to several other leading brand gelcoats of similar composition and properties within its R&D department. It was found that the Out of the 50+ multi part RTML tools we have manufactured these are the most robust. Scott Bader 14PA product has shown no problems...
