PROCESSING PROPERTIES
The handling characteristics of HK Research White NPG-Isophthalic gel coats are unmatched for
their ease of application, quick leveling, air release, and rapid cure.
APPLICATION
HK Research Corporation's "LHM" series White Gel Coats are formulated for standard
conventional spray application as well as "air-less" application. Most of the systems are suitable
for use in standard "air-less equipment" or the currently available "low pressure-air assisted"
airless type equipment. These high performance Gel Coats require careful application in order to
maximize the properties in the cured gel coat film. Poor application of the "LHM" series White
Gel Coat systems will cause a reduction in the properties of the cured gel coat film.
MIXING
Prior to removal from the shipping container and catalyzation, it is recommended that the
materials be mixed thoroughly to reincorporate any "settled" or "stratified" material. It is further
recommended that the material in the shipping container be mixed at least once a week during its
use period. The mixing procedure would assure the most uniform properties during application
of the gel coat. Mechanical mixing is recommended and should be sufficient to "turn" the
material 10 times. Most common gel coat mixing equipment will accomplish an adequate blend
in less than 1/2 hour.
