Gelcoat & Flowcoat (Brushing)

Gelcoat & Flowcoat (Brushing) in Uganda – Smooth, Polished Finishes for Every Fibreglass Project

Premium Gelcoat and Flowcoat for Fibreglass Moulds, Roofs, Tanks and Garden Pond Projects

At Raek Chemicals Limited, we supply high quality Gelcoat and Flowcoat (Brushing) — trusted materials for achieving a smooth, glossy and durable surface finish on fibreglass products.

Our Polyester Gelcoat is thixotropic (non-drip) and pre-accelerated, available in clear (for pigmenting) or ready made colours such as white. It is used as the first coat in your fibreglass mould to create a shiny, protective surface that improves durability and visual appeal.

The Flowcoat is applied as the final coat after lamination to produce a smooth, tack-free finish, ideal for roofing, tanks, kiosks, and decorative garden pond applications.
