EP-Gelcoat colourless NOVA

EP Gelcoat colourless NOVA for Hardener S and Hardener L

• New, optimized formula for EP gelcoat*
• Free from plasticisers (phthalates)
• Transparent top coats in layer thicknesses up to 0.2 mm
• Can be dyed with colour pastes
• Thixotropic (non-drip)
• Manufactured under vacuum, so optimally free of air bubbles and homogeneous
• No permanent resistance to UV light (yellowing does occur), it therefore should be protected, where appropriate, against UV radiation with an additional coating (clear coat or opaque paint)

This colourless, non-drip formulated gelcoat can be dyed opaque with our Universal Colour Pastes and transparent/translucent with our Transparent Colours.
