APPLICATION
HK Research Corporation's MGH Series 100% NPG/Isophthalic based gel coats are formulated
for standard conventional spray application, as well as "air-less" application. These high
performance gel coats require careful application in order to maximize the properties in the cured
gel coat film.
The MGH High Performance Gel Coats are especially formulated to produce outstanding color
stability over normal outdoor use. Proper catalyzation, following good spraying procedures and
application of an adequately thick uniform film of gel coat all contribute to the high performance
properties of this gel coat.
The MGH High Performance Gel Coats do offer the added advantage of reduced Styrene
emissions during typical spray procedures. Calculations of Styrene emissions using the method
outlined in EPA's Air Pollution Handbook, AP-42, indicate that the Styrene emissions of the
MGH-Series gel coats would be about 50% less than those of most conventional gel coats.
The formulations of the MGH High Performance Gel Coats offer the additional feature of
outstanding buff-back properties. This gel coat will polish out to an excellent high gloss finish
without discoloration or "halo" effects.
