GEL COAT COMPOSITION FOR IN MOLD FINISH PROCESS

摘要

Composite articles are prepared by a spray up operation. In a first step, a gel coat is applied onto a mold surface. Next, a barrier coat is applied over the gel coat in the mold and thereafter a laminate formula is applied over the barrier coat. In a preferred embodiment, the multilayer composite has a thickness of about 15 mm or less, and is useful as an automobile body panel. The gel coat contains a curable polyester polyurethane acrylate resin, and the composite article has a surface that has high gloss and color retention after prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
