A high quality primer for manufacturing post-painted parts.

Usage

To manufacture post-painted composite parts using polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy-resin systems, in high-temperature open- and closed-mold and epoxy pre-pregapplications. The primer is formulated for low shrinkage and bonds in mold to epoxy-resin laminating systems, as well as when post-applied. A gel coat alternative.

Features

Duratec Vinyl Ester In-Mold Primer reduces the amount of finishing work required on molded fiberglass parts, saving labor and material costs.

Here's why you should choose Duratec Vinyl Ester In-Mold Primer:

Low porosity—normally no post-priming is required prior to top coating.

Smoother surface profile—high gloss finishes lay out better than those applied to gel coat-primed substrates.

Higher heat distortion temperatures—reduces post-curing shrinkage of primed surfaces compared with gel coats. This is especially important when top coats are cured at elevated termperatures.

Higher elongation primed surface—provides better impact resistance than gel coats.

Lighter weight products—spray only 8-12 mils, 200-300 microns, thickness versus 15-20 mils, 375 microns, thickness of gel coat.

Sand demolded parts only once—and save time and materials.
