Epoxy gelcoat T-Gel 130-1

for moldinglaminating

EPOXY TOOLING GELCOAT SYSTEM¬ Thermally stable up to 130°C (266°F) when fully postcured¬ Resistant to thermal cycling damage¬ Sag resistant to 1mm thickness on vertical surfaces¬ Low shrinkage for accurate mould manufacture¬ Application by roller or brushINTRODUCTIONT-Gel 130-1 is an epoxy gelcoat system for manufacturing glass or carbon reinforced mould tools. T-Gel 130-1 iscompatible with Gurit’s range of 130°C tooling laminating, infusion and repair materials.Pre-preg over-lamination as part of tool construction is not recommended with this systemThe formulation has been designed to provide excellent application handling and sag resistance to aid toolmanufacturing. As with all epoxy tooling systems, care must be taken to avoid exposure to sunlight to avoidbreakdown of the surface.To ensure sufficient strength for de-mould and maximise gelcoat adhesion a mid cure of 4 hours at 40°C (104°F) isrecommended after the ambient cure stage.
