RESION Abrasive Gelcoat
At a glance
- Ideal for cart parts
- Easily sandable
- Easy to repaint
Polyester abrasive gelcoat is filled with easy-to-sand fillers. This provides an easy-to-sand coating on products made in a mould which makes products such as bumpers, skirts, scooter hoods and other items easy to paint. RESION abrasive gelcoat is highly recommended and saves a lot of time.
Benefits of abrasive gelcoat
- Very good sandability.
- Thixotropic which prevents sagging on vertical surfaces.
- Fast-curing.
- Semi-flexible which prevents cracking and hairline cracks.
- Resitant to various chemicals.
How much hardener do you need?
Below is an overview of the amount of hardener required per quantity of topcoat:
| Abrasive gelcoat |
Hardener |
| 1 kg | 20 ml hardener |
| 5 kg | 100 ml hardener |
| 25 kg | 500 ml hardener |

The chemical base describes the chemistry of an adhesive, sealant, resin or coating, such as epoxy, polyester, polyurethane, (methyl)methacrylate or a hybrid polymer. It affects curing, flexibility and adhesion. Products with the same chemical base are not necessarily suitable for the same applications.
- Pre-accelerated isophthalic polyester resin
-
Density describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Values may be given in g/cm³, kg/L or kg/m³; 1 g/cm³ equals 1 kg/L. For example, one litre of a liquid with a density of 1.2 kg/L weighs approximately 1.2 kg. Density helps convert between weight and volume, but it can vary with temperature.
- 1.4 kg/L
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 3-6 months
-
The overcoating interval tells you when the next layer of paint, varnish or coating may be applied. Many multi-coat systems specify both a minimum and a maximum interval:
- Minimum overcoating time: the previous layer is dry or cured enough to accept another coat.
- Maximum overcoating time: the period during which the next coat can bond without extra surface preparation under the stated conditions.
Overcoating too early can affect drying or the finish. Once the maximum interval has passed, cleaning and sanding may be needed to ensure adhesion between coats. Temperature and film thickness affect the waiting times.
- At least 3 hours, at most 24 hours
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 2 hours
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- Approximately 300-400 g/m²
- Net contents
- 1 kg, 25 kg, 5 kg
-
Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 15 minutes (at 20 °C)
- Colour
- Gray
-
Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 100:2 (by weight)
-
Hardener type indicates which component or substance is needed to cure a resin, adhesive or coating. The mechanism varies with the chemical system:
- Epoxy: usually a specific compatible hardener (component B), mixed with the resin at the stated ratio.
- Polyester and vinyl ester: often an MEKP initiator that starts the curing reaction. Dosage is normally given as a percentage.
- Two-component polyurethane: uses a compatible second component, often based on isocyanates, as specified for the system.
Hardeners are not interchangeable. Use only the combination, dosage and safety precautions stated by the manufacturer.
- MEKP hardener
