Reliable Epoxy Gelcoat for Professional Applications

Araldite Epoxy Gelcoat SW 404 HY 2404 is engineered to meet the demanding needs of the composite and prototyping industries. Its thixotropic viscosity allows for easy handling and precise application on mould surfaces, resulting in a uniform and resilient coating. The product is supplied in a white gel form and maintains its integrity under varying environmental stresses.

Easy Mixing and Application Process

Mix the resin and hardener at a 100:40 ratio by weight to achieve optimal performance. After mixing, the pot life at 25C is about 40 minutes, providing ample time for application. The material reaches initial cure in about 8 hours, facilitating efficient production cycles without compromising on quality.

Superior Resistance and Longevity

Formulated for good resistance against water, common solvents, and mild chemicals, this gelcoat ensures long-term durability of your tools and moulds. With a density of 1.4 g/cm and a Shore D hardness of 8590, it delivers strength and steadfast protection in rigorous industrial environments.

FAQs of Araldite Epoxy Gelcoat SW 404 HY 2404:

Q: How should I mix Araldite Epoxy Gelcoat SW 404 HY 2404 for best results?

A: To achieve the ideal properties, mix the resin and hardener by weight in a ratio of 100 parts resin to 40 parts hardener. Ensure thorough blending until a uniform, homogeneous mixture is formed before applying it to the surface.

Q: What is the recommended pot life and how much working time do I have after mixing?

A: At 25C, the mixture has a pot life of approximately 40 minutes. It is best to apply the gelcoat within this timeframe to ensure ease of application and optimal curing.

Q: When can I expect the gelcoat to reach initial cure after application?

A: The initial curing time for Araldite SW 404 HY 2404 is about 8 hours at 25C. The coated surface can typically be handled or processed further after this period.
