Gel coat definition

Gel coat means a resin coating, either pigmented or clear, applied to the surface of a mold, that becomes an integral part of a polyester resin product, and that provides a cosmetic enhancement and improves resistance to degradation from exposure to the elements.

Examples of Gel coat in a sentence

  • Subsequent use of the Boat with damaged, cracked or missing Gel coat could cause the underlying laminate to fail due to hydrostatic action and/or pressure.

  • Damage caused by failure to repair and maintain the Gel coat surfaces of the boat could cause further damage to the Boat including delamination of the Hull.

  • Gel coat imperfections, stress cracks or spider webs, gel coat caulking or fading or yellowing, or gel coat blisters.

  • This form of delamination is not the result of a manufacturer’s defect; therefore, this damage is not covered by the limited warranty.Note: Any damage to Exterior or Interior Gel coat including un-sealed small part attachment screws will allow water to permeate the underlying laminate.

  • Continued operation of the Boat with damage to the Gel coat will void this warranty.

Gel coat means a polyester resin surface coating, either pigmented or clear, that provides a cosmetic enhancement and improves resistance to degradation from exposure to the elements.
Sample 1Sample 2Sample 3
Gel coat means a thermosetting resin surface coating formulation containing substances, such as styrene or methyl methacrylate, either pigmented or clear, that provides a cosmetic enhancement and improves resistance to ultraviolet radiation, water or chemical adsorption, and degradation from exposure to the elements. Gel coat layers do not contain any reinforcing fibers and gel coats are applied directly to mold surfaces or to a finished laminate.
