COMPOSITE ARTICLES HAVING AN AESTHETIC VISUAL SURFACE FOR USE IN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS, AND COMPOSITIONS SUITABLE FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

Highly damage resistant fiber reinforced composites are prepared from polyurethane systems employing a highly hydrophobic polyol component an d an isocyanate prepolymer, the combination having a combined functionality greater than 5. The polyurethane systems may be used for gel coats and matrix resins , and produce substantially no volatile emissions. The systems are particularly useful for boat hulls and like products.
