Introducing ULTRATEC™: New Anti-Static Tooling Gelcoat System

8 12, 2024 Innovation
allnex, the global leader in sustainable and innovative resins for industrial coatings, invites you to learn more about the latest launch in the Composites line, ULTRATEC™.

Traditionally, anti-static products have been developed typically using conductive black carbon, graphite, or Carbon-fibre. However, these additives can have a negative impact on the tooling gelcoat including mechanical properties, color, viscosity and gloss.

Comprised of the three core pieces listed below, this new gelcoat system has been formulated to eliminate static discharge on the surface while demoulding.  Moulds should still be properly earthed.

The cured gelcoat surface is classified as static dissipative (carries electrical charge with a resistance between 10⁶ to 3 x 10⁸ Ω), and reduces the risk of static shock, prevents damage of electrical devices and eliminates fire hazard due to discharge.
 
Benefits of the Anti-Static Tooling Gelcoat System include:
 
  • Safer working environment with no electrical discharge during demoulding when properly earthed
  • Less dust build up on the mould
  • Improves tool quality
  • Less force needed for demoulding
  • Clean manufacturing process without carbon black powder

‘This product introduction is a good addition to our range to assist in reducing significant fire and explosion hazards in our customer workshop applications of our composite resin and gelcoat products’, Dean Voice, Technology Manager, Composites AO.

Production of the Ultratec™ Anti-Static Vinyl Ester Tooling Gelcoat has commenced in Australia. Please contact your allnex Sales Representative or call our Customer Service Team at 1800-789-607 for more information or to request a sample.
