Polyester systems have long been among the most widely used matrix resins in the composite industry due to their combination of lower price, easy processing and fast curing. They are commonly used, for example, in transportation, construction, marine applications or in the production of composite moldings.

In this category you will find materials suitable for:

• hand lamination

• repairs of laminate parts

• production of molds and models

• surface treatment of composite products

• technical and industrial applications

What is polyester resin used for

Polyester resin is used as the basic binder in the production of laminates and composite parts. In combination with glass fabric, mats or other reinforcement, it creates a strong, dimensionally stable and durable composite unit.

It is suitable for:

• production of laminate covers, parts and panels
• repairs of fiberglass tanks, fairings, covers and tubs
• lamination of molds and models
• renovations and repairs in hobby and professional practice
• common composite work where the price / performance ratio is important

Polyester resins are traditionally very widespread, especially in GRP / fiberglass applications and common lamination. They are suitable for a wide range of standard composite projects where availability, fast processing and proven technology are required.

What is gelcoat for and why is it important

Gelcoat is a special surface layer used in the production of laminate and composite parts. It is usually applied as the first layer in the mold and after demolding creates a smooth, compact and visible surface of the product.

Gelcoats are used mainly for:

• creating a high-quality final surface
• improving resistance to moisture and weathering
• reducing the appearance of reinforcement
• producing aesthetically clean and professional-looking parts
• repairing and restoring the surfaces of laminate products

In practice, gelcoat is a very common surface layer for laminate products and molds. In polyester systems, it is used especially where it is necessary to combine the mechanical function of the composite with a high-quality appearance and higher surface resistance. Gelcoat is typically applied to the mold and then covered with reinforcement and additional resin.

What applications are polyester resins and gelcoats suitable for

Materials in this category are suitable for a wide range of applications:

Typical areas of application:

• repairs and fiberglass production
• boats, swimming pools, tanks and technical covers
• automotive and motorsport
• mold and model production
• industrial parts and covers
• hobby lamination and workshop projects

Polyester resins and gelcoats are popular where fast technological progress, good surface finish and reasonable production costs are required.

How to choose the right product

When choosing, we recommend taking into account mainly:

Application type

Another product is suitable for:

• hand lamination
• repair of damaged part
• mold production
• final visible surface

Desired surface

If you are mainly concerned with the appearance, smoothness and durability of the surface, a gelcoat or a subsequent system for the final layer is usually the appropriate choice.

Reinforcement type

Polyester resins are often used with:

• glass mat
• glass fabric
• other reinforcement materials for lamination

Environment of use

An important question is also:

• whether the part will be exposed to moisture • mechanical stress
• or outdoor conditions
