Sprayable Granite Clear Gel Coat

Composites in Manufacturing, Second Quarter 2005

MAXGUARD® CG-SG-0010 sprayable granite clear gel coat provides excellent sag resistance and air release to minimize rework and create highquality parts when sprayed with both atomized and nonatomized equipment. The gel coat exhibits excellent color and clarity when sprayed, allowing for truer and bolder colors from the granite chips. In addition, the MAXGUARD CG-SG-0010 gel coat has passed the ANSI 124.3 standard. The gel coat is not recommended for cultured marble applications. Existing gel coats in the MAXGUARD premium gel coat line that can be use for cultured marble include the MAXGUARD CG-44 marble clear gel coat series and MAXGUARD CG-40 marble clear gel coat series, which contain a maximum of 44% hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and 40% HAP, respectively. The gel coat is available from Ashland Composite Polymers (Dublin, Ohio).
