Crestafire® GCS 1001E
Crestafire GCS 1001E is a non-accelerated, low smoke, fire-retardant intumescent polyester-based gelcoat designed to be applied by spray in a thin layer of 500-750μm.
The gelcoat incorporates intumescent technology, meaning that when exposed to fire, cured Crestafire GCS 1001E will form a cellular charred layer on its surface which offers a high degree of protection to the laminate behind.
Crestafire GCS 1001E is halogen free and does not contain heavy metals. It is restricted to a light grey colour and is designed to be post-painted.
