UltraLowVOC gelcoat incorporates quality ingredients into a proprietary polyester resin vehicle based on a revolutionary molecule developed by Ferro, dramatically improving in-plant molding operations.

UltraLowVOC gelcoat incorporates the same quality ingredients as Ultra 1-NPG and Ultra Plus-NPG/ISO gelcoats, with a proprietary polyester resin vehicle produced using a revolutionary molecule patented by Ferro. This breakthrough formulation provides the same long-term, post-cure performance as standard Ultra gelcoat, while dramatically improving in-plant molding operations as follows:

• 50 PERCENT REDUCTION IN STYRENE EMISSIONS
  Not merely a gelcoat reformulation with lower VOCs and higher viscosity, UltraLowVOC gelcoat cuts styrene emissions in half, improving worker safety and helping to comply with EPA and OSHA requirements.
  
  
• UP TO 60 PERCENT LESS SHRINKAGE
  UltraLowVOC gelcoat exhibits ASTM D955 ratings of 30 to 60 percent less shrinkage than gelcoats using conventional unsaturated polyester base resins. Reduced shrinkage virtually eliminates pre-release problems, while higher yield allows dramatic reductions in both spraying time and the amount of gelcoat purchased.
  
  
• LESS OVERSPRAY AT EQUIVALENT VISCOSITIES
  
  Spray patterns are more easily controlled, with less overspray waste and greater affinity to the tooling surface, while maintaining the same gelcoat viscosity to which you are accustomed.

Typical applications

Marine, sanitaryware, recreational vehicles, and other open-mold, hand, lay-up applications.

Colors

An entire spectrum of custom colors is available on short notice. Using computer spectrophotometry, Ferro can match your color sample, or refer to complete files of OSHA, Munsel, Federal Standard 595 Series or Pantoneâ matching systems.

All orders are matched to Ferro standards or the retain of your approved custom color, ensuring identical color reproduction from order to order.
