Boatbuilding applications
where there is a hydrolysis load or a need for chemical resistance
Resin chemistry: isophthalic acid (IP) and neopentyl glycol (NPG)
BÜFA®-Gelcoats and Topcoats based on IP and NPG are used widely in the maritime sector, in other words for cruise ships and in boat building. But these product properties are also suitable for making plumbing components. Products of this sort are used widely in composite components with high chemical, thermal or hydrolytic loads. Here we also recommend application of a BÜFA®-Barriercoat (VE) for perfect surface quality and better resistance to osmosis.
