Gelcoat additive – paraffin

Paraffin is an additive mainly to polyester gelcoats, necessary when it is necessary to apply the gelcoat to the outer surface of the finished laminate. Gelcoat with the addition of paraffin corrector is topcot. By adding paraffin to the gelcoat, we will stop the phenomenon of oxygen inhibition, which is the reason why the gelcoat does not dry out and the surface remains sticky.

Recommended amount of paraffin 2%-5%.

Mixing proportions of ingredients: gelcoat: hardener: paraffin 100:3:2-5

Our FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions

Can I use yacht paints for a drinking water tank?

Sea-Line yacht paints are designed for painting the surface of boats and yachts made of various materials, e.g. laminate, wood or steel. We do not have a certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene, which would allow the use of yacht paint to paint the tank with drinking water.

Can I paint the bottom of the boat with polyurethane paint?

Yes, you can paint the bottom of the boat with polyurethane paint due to its high mechanical strength. We recommend this solution when the boat is not launched for a long time and is not exposed to fouling.

Why despite the use of antifouing paint the bottom of the boat is overgrown?

Possible causes

  • Too thin layer of antifouling paint,
  • Choosing the wrong antifouling to type of a boat or yacht
  • Thinning of antifouling paint,
  • Incorrect surface preparation before antifouling application.

How to prevent

  • Apply the right layer thickness of paint indicated by manufacturer,
  • Choose antifouling dedicated to type of boat or yacht and suitable for the type of water,
  • Do not thin antifouling because of the risk of reducing effectiveness,
  • Careful surface preparations (grinding, clearing, degreasing),

How to remove

  • Wet grinding, apply new layers of antifouling paint.
  • Use C1 shell and fouling remover.
