16 Crystic Gelcoats For Tooling Applications Successfully supplying well established new generation tooling gelcoats

17 Tooling Applications Crystic Tooling Gelcoats - designed to outperform competitor tooling gelcoats Significantly increases the lifetime of moulds in production Enhanced gloss finish and gloss retention 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 Available in 4 colours

18 Crystic Tooling Gelcoat Range Crystic 15PA High performance Vinylester spray tooling gelcoat for making moulds designed to have a long service lifetime and retain high gloss levels after multiple pulls Easy to spray and achieve good coverage Superior gloss retention in use after multiple pulls from the mould No gassing of the gelcoat ensuring a very low porosity surface Excellent resistance to fibre print-through when used with Crystic 679PA skincoat and Crystic RTR4000 tooling resin Use with a standard MEKP catalyst

19 Crystic 15PA Crystic Tooling Gloss retention

20 Crystic Tooling Case study

21 Mould-Making Sequence Ensure plug/pattern has an excellent surface finish Apply release agent Spray apply Crystic 15PA tooling gelcoat Follow by a layer of VE679PA skincoat to ensure a good surface finish Use RTR4000PA for rapid resin back-up

22 Mould Manufacture Skin Coat Resin Crystic VE679PA DCPD - Modified Vinyl Ester Resin for Skin Coats Pre-accelerated, thixotropic, DCPD modified, vinyl ester resin. Excellent blister resistance and significantly reduces the occurrence of print through.

23 Mould Manufacture Backing Laminate Resin Crystic RTR 4000 Rapid tooling resin for fast mould making Thixotropic, filled, low profile resin for hand-lay mould making applications Excellent handling properties and resin shrinkage control Catalysed with standard MEKP catalyst

28 Crystic Land Transport Gelcoat Range Crystic Ecogel S1PA Unique and market leading technology spray gelcoat with only 16% styrene content which can cut styrene emissions by over 55% Ultra-low styrene content (only 16% styrene) Very low styrene emission both in spray application and curing period Good U.V. resistance and good gloss finish Good interlaminar adhesion with standard PE and VE resins Lower styrene smell emitted from the gelcoat Backup time approx. 1 hour after spray application Cures with a standard MEKP catalyst

29 Crystic Gelcoats For Fire & Smoke Applications Proven to improve Fire & Smoke performance

30 Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat Range Crystic Fireguard New Technology Fire Retardant, Halogen Free, Gelcoats - Designed to Protect Composites from Fire Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 70PA Low Smoke and Low Surface Spread of Flame Spray Gelcoat for the Most Stringent Fire Approvals Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat 72PA Low Surface Spread of Flame Spray Gelcoat Crystic Fireguard 75PA (IMS) Excel Intumescent fire retardant gelcoat for spray application Meets M1 with Crestapol 1212

31 Crystic Fireguard Gelcoat Range Crystic Fireguard 75PA What happens to Fireguard 75PA in a fire? Initial 30 seconds 3 minute Undamaged GRP Container Crystic Fireguard sets on fire, the coating intumesces (chars up) and then stops the fire after 3 minutes. The GRP container is undamaged with the laminate structure still in tact behind the Fireguard.
