Quart Fiberglass Resin Gel - US Chemical & Plastics

Specifications

The US Chemical & Plastics Quart Fiberglass Resin Gel (Model Number: 58320) is a purple, liquid gel with a container capacity of one quart. It weighs 2.83 lbs and has dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1 inches. This product has a viscosity of 40,000 CPS, making it thicker than standard fiberglass resin. It features a VOC content of 297 grams per liter (packaged) and 1 gram per liter (applied). The gel time at 77 degrees Fahrenheit ranges from 8 to 15 minutes, with a sanding time of 60 minutes at the same temperature. It can withstand a maximum heat of 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. The mixing ratio typically involves adding 2% of cream hardener by weight.

Key Features

This Quart Fiberglass Resin Gel is formulated as an easy-to-use gel, designed to quickly integrate into fiberglass cloth or mat for robust repairs. Its high viscosity prevents running and sagging, making it suitable for vertical surface applications. The resin gel is fast-curing, tack-free, waterproof, and impact-resistant, providing a durable finish. It ensures strong, professional-grade repairs.

Applications

The Fiberglass Resin Gel is primarily used for fiberglass repair and custom molding. It is effective for mending rust-outs, holes, tears, and cracks, and can be applied with or without fiberglass mat or cloth. This product adheres to various substrates including steel, fiberglass, wood (untreated), and gel coat (polyester or epoxy). It is ideal for repairing parts on boats, automobiles, RVs, swimming pools, shower stalls, bathtubs, pipes, water tanks, and roofs. Its high-viscosity formula makes it particularly suitable for repairs on vertical surfaces where sag resistance is crucial.

Benefits

The use of this Fiberglass Resin Gel results in strong, long-lasting, and professional repairs. Its gel consistency eliminates running and sagging during application, simplifying work on vertical or overhead surfaces and reducing mess. The fast-curing nature allows for quicker project completion, while its tack-free, waterproof, and impact-resistant properties provide a durable and protective seal. This resin restores the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of damaged fiberglass and other materials. It offers a cost-effective solution for repair compared to full component replacement. Once cured, the resin-saturated fiberglass hardens into a steel-like surface that can be sanded, filed, or drilled, allowing for a smooth and refined finish.
