Category Archives: Gelcoats

Alchemix Epoxy resin Gelcoats are pre-filled thixotropic surface layers which are used in conjunction with our Epoxy laminating resins. The properties of the individual resin gelcoat will differ depending on the filler type and the resin matrix used in manufacture. Properties range from: polishable, high temperature, gloss surface, abrasion resistant, clear, chemical resistant and impact resistant.
