 | Crystic Gelcoat 14PA
A urethane modified Vinyl ester brush gelcoat, which has excellent gloss retention and exceptional resilience. It has good chemical resistance and offers a genuine solution to the problem of 'water marking'.
Crystic VE 679PA Skin Coat
An easy to use Vinyl ester / DCPD skincoat which significantly reduces the occurrence of fibre print through.

Crystic Fastlam 3000A - Rapid Tooling Resin
Fastlam 3000A tooling resin is a pre-accelerated, low profile, thixotropic resin specifically designed for repid tool making. Fastlam offers the user the qualities of zero shrink, the ability to use the resin at low temperatures, good handling and rapid cure.
Crystic 474PA - Heat and Chemical Resistant Laminating Resin
Is a thixotropic, pre-accelerated polyester resin with good heat and chemical resistant properties. It is ideally suitable for the production of heat resistant, dimensionally stable moulds.
