Customer Questions
Why is timing critical when building a polyester tooling mold?
Most polyester tooling molds are built using contact (open) molding, where tooling gel coat is applied first and allowed to gel before laminating. The laminate bonds to the cured gel coat through a secondary bond, which is inherently weaker than a ...
What type of tooling gel coat should be used for mold construction?
Tooling gel coat selection directly impacts mold surface quality, durability, and heat resistance. Isophthalic polyester tooling gel coats provide the highest natural gloss and smoothness but offer moderate strength and heat distortion temperature (...
What is the purpose of a barrier coat in tooling applications?
Barrier coats, typically vinyl ester based, are applied between the tooling gel coat and the laminate. Their primary function is to block fiber print-through and reduce surface distortion in the finished mold. Barrier coats also reinforce the ...
