Raw Material:
Gel Coat–Isophthalic Polyester Resin + Calcium Carbonate
A surface coated with gel coat, with a filling material of isophthalic polyester resin and calcium carbonate, has several valuable features, especially in the production of bathroom products like bathtubs and basins. Here are its key attributes:
[High-Gloss and Aesthetic Finish]
Gel coat provides a smooth, high-gloss finish, enhancing the appearance and giving the product a polished, luxurious look.
[Waterproof and Sealed Surface]
The gel coat layer acts as a waterproof barrier, preventing water absorption and protecting the underlying material from moisture and mildew.
[Enhanced Durability and Scratch Resistance]
The gel coat surface resists scratches, abrasions, and minor impacts, making it suitable for frequently used products like bathtubs and wash basins.
[Chemical and Stain Resistance]
Isophthalic polyester resin offers excellent resistance to common household chemicals and staining agents, making the surface easier to clean and more durable against typical bathroom substances.
[Thermal Stability]
The combination of gel coat and the isophthalic resin ensures good thermal stability, so the surface can withstand exposure to hot and cold water without warping or degrading.
[Structural Strength with Calcium Carbonate]
The filling material includes calcium carbonate, which increases rigidity and structural strength while keeping the material relatively lightweight.
[UV Resistance]
Gel coats are often designed to resist UV rays, making them suitable for products exposed to sunlight without experiencing fading or discoloration over time.
[Seamless Surface for Hygiene]
The gel-coated surface is smooth and seamless, preventing bacteria and mold buildup in tiny crevices, which is particularly beneficial for sanitary applications.
[Customizable Colors and Finishes]
Gel coat surfaces can be made in various colors and finishes, enabling flexibility in design and coordination with different bathroom styles.
[Cost-Effective Production]
The use of calcium carbonate as a filler reduces material costs while maintaining durability, making it an economical option for high-quality bathroom products.
This combination of gel coat with isophthalic polyester resin and calcium carbonate results in a durable, attractive, and easy-to-maintain surface, ideal for high-use, high-moisture environments like bathrooms.
