Conductive Vinyl Ester Gel Coat for Moulds.
In the composites sector, having materials that improve process efficiency is key. With this in mind, INTEC, a leading international manufacturer, presents its Conductive Vinyl Ester Gel Coat for Molds, a cutting-edge product designed to prevent accidents and problems during demolding in the mold manufacturing industry. At Clades Composites, we offer you this gel coat, which will transform your way of working.
A necessary evolution: from traditional to conductive gel coat.
Vinyl ester gel coats are already recognized for their excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. However, INTEC has taken the product’s evolution a step further by developing an antistatic and conductive version, thanks to the incorporation of carbon nanotubes as conductive agents.
Main technical and competitive advantages.
Our Conductive Vinyl Ester Gel Coat is characterized by:
- Elimination of electrostatic discharges: The product’s conductivity prevents the buildup of static charges, ensuring safer and more controlled demolding processes.
- Solution to the problem of micropores: Unlike other similar products on the market, our conductive gel coat has effectively solved the common problem of micropores, ensuring smooth and homogeneous surfaces.
- Easier demolding: By reducing adhesion between the mold and the part, removal effort is minimized, scrap is reduced, and a uniform quality of the final product is ensured.
- Improved mold cleanliness: The low electrostatic attraction limits the accumulation of dust and particles, which means fewer interruptions, less cleaning time, and a flawless surface finish.
- Maintains surface gloss: even after sanding and polishing. It extends the life of the mold and guarantees an impeccable finish.
A product tailored to your needs.
Conductive Gel Coat is available in several versions to suit each user’s application preferences:
Green version for spray application.
Black version for brush application.
Application recommendations.
To achieve maximum product performance, we recommend applying it by spraying, always using a coating thickness gauge to ensure a uniform and controlled layer.
Once the gel coat has cured slightly, the grounding point can be installed, thus completing the antistatic protection system. This simple procedure is key to ensuring maximum product effectiveness under real-world working conditions.
A profitable investment for the industry.
In an increasingly competitive market, investing in materials that optimize processes, reduce risks, and extend mold life is a strategic necessity. INTEC’s Conductive Vinyl Ester Gel Coat not only provides technical advantages but also translates into direct savings in time and maintenance. Adopting this product means working more safely, achieving cleaner and more uniform finishes, and offering your customers the highest quality parts. Ultimately, it’s a product that boosts your company’s competitiveness.
