Product description

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.

What is osmosis? Osmosis is a process in which water penetrates the polyester, which can lead to blistering and damage to the gelcoat. Would you like to learn more about osmosis and its treatment? Then read our article: 'Treating osmosis in 5 steps'.

Excellent protection against osmosis.

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).

Tip: with the 2k primer materials package you immediately have all the materials you need!
