International Gelshield 200
- Protects against osmosis
- Quick-drying epoxy primer
- Easy processing
Protect your polyester boat against osmosis with International Gelshield 200. This fast-drying epoxy primer is easy to apply and forms a moisture-resistant barrier. As a result, International Gelshield 200 is the ideal primer for protecting polyester against osmosis. The 2-component epoxy primer can be used at temperatures from as low as 5°C and cures quickly, allowing multiple coats to be applied in a single day.
For effective osmosis protection, we recommend applying at least five coats of Gelshield 200, with a total thickness of 250 µm.

Directions for use
Check the technical documentation for any pre-treatment of the polyester surface (please check the important tips in the documentation). If you have pre-treated the polyester, ensure the surface is clean and dust-free. Then open the container and add the hardener to the base, stir well and allow it to stand for 10 minutes. This allows air bubbles to escape. Then apply the number of layers that is specified in the specification sheets (minimum total dry film thickness of 250 µm).
