SCOTT BADER High Performance Tooling Gelcoat Crystic Gelcoat 14PA is a pre-accelerated brush gelcoat, designed for use in the manufacture of high quality FRP composite tooling. Technical Benefits Significantly increases the lifetime of moulds in production Enhanced gloss finish and gloss retention compared to competitive products Eliminates water-marking Reduced fibre print-through resulting in a much smoother gelcoat surface Easy to apply to required thickness Fast mould production Easy to de-mould even complicated shapes High gloss, water mark free moulding coming off a mould made by Hi Spec using Red 5201 Crystic® 14PA tooling gelcoat. A Genuine Solution to the Problem of 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:- • a uniform level of gloss across the whole surface • a smooth finish with no surface undulations RTM/INFUSION TOOLS HANDLAY TOOLS MOULDS FOR USE WITH PRE-PREG MOULDS DESIGNED FOR HIGH NUMBER OF PULLS MOULDS REQUIRING HIGH GLOSS LEVEL Customer Experiences "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 expectations for a tooling gelcoat and we Gary Bates - Managing Director, Hi Spec Plastics

Case History WESSEX COMPOSITES/WESSEX DOORS A Very Satisfied Customer "As Technical / R&D Director of Wessex Doors / Wessex Composites I am happy to recommend this product to other manufacturers of composite components and tools without hesitation." 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°c, and from continued cycling in production at 55 to 75°c. Wessex has compared 14PA to several other leading...
