Product catalog summary
Product Description: Gelshield 200 is a quick-drying, easy-to-apply epoxy primer designed to protect GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) against osmosis. It provides effective protection with five coats totaling 250 microns and can be applied in temperatures as low as 5°C. Its fast-drying nature allows for multiple coats in a single day.
Product Information: Available in green (YPA212) and grey (YPA213) with a matt finish, Gelshield 200 has a specific gravity of 1.4 and volume solids of 45%. The mix ratio is 3:1 by volume, using YPA214 as the curing agent. It has a shelf life of 2 years and a VOC content of 464 g/lt. Unit sizes are 750 ml and 2.5 lt.
Drying and Overcoating Information: Drying times vary with temperature, from 4 hours at 5°C to 30 minutes at 35°C for touch dry. Immersion times range from 24 hours at 5°C to 8 hours at 35°C. Pot life decreases with increasing temperature, from 10 hours at 5°C to 2 hours at 35°C. Overcoating times also vary, with a minimum of 10 hours at 5°C and 2 hours at 35°C for Gelshield 200.
Application and Use: For bare GRP, wash with Super Cleaner, rinse, dry, and sand with 180 grit paper. Previously antifouled surfaces should be stripped, cleaned, rinsed, dried, and sanded similarly. Exposed laminate should be patch primed with Gelshield Plus. Apply alternating coats of grey and green, starting and ending with grey, ensuring a minimum of 250 microns DFT. Use a brush or roller for application.
Transportation, Storage, and Safety Information: Store Gelshield 200 between 5°C and 35°C, avoiding air exposure and temperature extremes. During transportation, ensure containers are securely closed. For safety, consult the label and technical help line. Disposal should be conducted responsibly, allowing paints to harden before disposal and consulting authorities for remainder disposal.
