Gel coat makes fiberglass reinforced products
attractive and practical. Technically, it is a surface
coating of pigmented polyester resin which gels
against the mold surface and cures with the structural
laminate. It faithfully reproduces the mold surface,
imparts color, and protects the reinforcing fibers from
external elements. In many cases, the surface
treated with gel coat is the only part of the structure
that can be seen. To the user, it is simply a reinforced
plastic. Resins, fillers, pigments and promoters are
carefully selected and formulated to develop the
quality and surface appearance needed to make the
product durable and saleable. Customer acceptance
of the product can depend entirely upon the care and
handling of gel coat.
