Why Choose Gelcoat or Flowcoat from raeK Chemicals
Smooth, Polished Finish
Gelcoat is used as the initial coat on your mould. It provides a smooth, polished finish that becomes the visible surface of your finished product. It is ideal for high-quality fibreglass mouldings.
Tack-Free Final Finish
Flowcoat is applied after laminations to give a smooth, tack-free finish. It seals the laminate and provides a durable, attractive surface.
Available in Clear or White
Gelcoat is available in clear, allowing you to pigment to your desired colour. It is also available in ready coloured white for convenience. This flexibility supports a wide range of project requirements.
Thixotropic and Pre-Accelerated
The product is thixotropic, resisting drainage on vertical surfaces. It is pre-accelerated, so only MEKP catalyst needs to be added.
Suitable for Garden Ponds and Water Features
The product is suitable for garden pond materials and other water features. It provides a smooth, sealed surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
