3 MAXGUARD SW gelcoat UV resistance by QUV-B and colour and gloss retention in hot water UV resistance by QUV B light blue, 6 microns / 1 QUV B/ 4 UVB (.67 watt/m², wavelenght 313 nm) at 6 C and 4 of condensation at 5 C (black panel) total colour change, de Gelcoat (Iso/NPG) colour retention light blue, 6 microns, dry / 15 h (9 weeks) in turtle box at 65.5 C total colour change, de Gelcoat (Iso/NPG) gloss retention (6 ) light blue, 6 microns, dry / 15 h (9 weeks) in turtle box at 65.5 C gloss retention % % 8% Gelcoat (Iso/NPG) gelcoat colours are produced by pigments giving the highest UV and blushing resistance the colour portfolio has been carefully designed and includes the majority of colour shades used in swimming pools

4 MAXGUARD SW gelcoat blistering resistance (no barrier) and chlorine resistance blistering resistance off-white / 25 (1 days) / in distilled water at 65 C chlorine resistance off-white / 12 (5 days) / in 4.5% active chlorine water at 2 C blistering scale Gelcoat (Iso/NPG) total colour change, de Gelcoat (Iso/NPG) gelcoat is based on a special high molecular weight Iso/NPG resin giving excellent blistering resistance the formula of gelcoat is optimised to give highest possible resistance against chlorine attack

5 application of MAXGUARD SW gelcoat ensure that temperature of the work shop as well as the tool and gelcoat is 2-25 C spray (preferably) or brush the gelcoat with accurate dosing of high quality MEK - peroxide % apply gelcoat properly to give a final cured gelcoat thickness of 5-6 microns allow the gelcoat to cure fully before continuing work,4

6 AME VPRO barrier coat blistering resistance in turtle box test at 65,5 C and surface profile blistering resistance 5, 1, 15 in turtle box at 65.5 C blistering scale (6 microns) + AME VPRO (6 microns) (6 microns) surface quality smoothness, orange peel ALSA value (6 microns) + AME VPRO (6 microns) 37 (6 microns) AME VPRO Barrier Coat is based on Ashland s world leading epoxy vinyl ester technology which guarantees superior blistering resistance the use of AME VPRO barrier coat behind the gelcoat will improve the surface profile with almost 3% based on ALSA measurements. (ALSA = Advanced Laser Surface Analyser)

7 comparing flexural properties of MAXGUARD SW gelcoat supported by AME VPRO barrier coat extension at break % load at break N (6 microns) + laminate (6 microns) + AME VPRO barrier coat (6 microns) + laminate* (6 microns) + laminate (6 microns) + AME VPRO barrier coat (6 microns) + laminate* * laminate is built of 2 x 45 g mat and highly flexible resin the combined surface layer of gelcoat and AME VPRO barrier coat will stay as flexible as only one layer of gelcoat the flexural strength of the combined surface layer of MAXGUARD SW gelcoat and AME VPRO barrier coat will increase significantly

8 application of AME VPRO barrier coat ensure that temperature of the work shop as well as the barrier coat is 2-25 C spray (preferably) or brush the barrier coat with accurate dosing of high quality MEK - peroxide 1.5 % apply AME VPRO barrier coat properly to give a final cured barrier coat thickness of 5-6 microns allow the barrier coat to cure fully before continuing work

9 AROPOL M 15 series resins for a tough laminate structure AROPOL M 15 LSE resins have good mechanical properties with a tensile elongation of 2% giving a tough final structure AROPOL M 15 resins are all approved by Lloyds and Det Norske Veritas for construction of boats a well designed laminate structure including stringers is most important to keep the swimming pool intact avoiding gelcoat cracks for good protection of the laminate underground, the back side should be protected/coated by ENGUARD topcoat

10 application of AROPOL M 15 LSE resins ensure that temperature of the work shop as well as the resin is 2-25 C spray-up or hand lay-up the laminate with accurate dosing of high quality MEK - peroxide % good fiber wetting properties gives high quality laminates with good mechanical properties and finally, AROPOL M 15 Low Styrene Emission resins with low styrene emission will improve work shop conditions

11 a premium structure needs premium components MAXGUARD SW gelcoat based on a special high molecular weight Iso/NPG polyester resin, is a guarantee for good blistering and chlorine resistance. The fillers and pigments used in gelcoat are optimised to give the best possible UV resistance and gloss retention AROPOL M 15 series resins AME VPRO barrier coat AME VPRO barrier coat is based on Ashland s world leading epoxy vinyl ester technology and in addition to it s superior blistering resistance also maintains integrity of laminate flexibility and other physical properties. The use use of AME VPRO behind the gelcoat will also improve the smoothness of the gelcoat surface AROPOL M 15 LSE resins with their good mechanical properties will not only give a tough laminate structure but also improve the work shop conditions
