Color Gel Coat
Our Color Gel Coats are mixed to perfectly match the color of your choice. In addition to our RAL colors, we have 720 more colors of Gel Coat available when you call in.
Color Gel Coat is designed to be used in mold to produce UV resistant, blister resistant, high-quality parts when laying up polyester or vinyl ester parts. They can be used in repair applications with an air inhibitor such as Duratec High Gloss Additive.
Color Gel Coats are available in quart, gallon or five-gallon sizes. Gel Coat kits are available in quart, gallon and 4-gallon cases and come with (#69) MEKP catalyst. One gallon of gel coat will cover approximately 40-80 square feet, depending upon application.
What Is RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat?
RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat is a made-to-order polyester gel coat matched to RAL 2009, Traffic Orange. In polyester and vinyl ester composite construction, gel coat is the first layer applied to the mold and becomes the smooth, colored outer skin of every part pulled from it. The Traffic Orange color runs through the gel coat material itself rather than sitting on top as a secondary finish.
Why Choose RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat?
Traffic Orange is a vivid, clean orange standardized in the RAL system for traffic and safety infrastructure applications. It is one of the most recognized oranges globally, appearing on road cones, safety barriers, and infrastructure composite parts where the standardized Traffic Orange specification is required.
For physical color confirmation before ordering, the #4008-A RAL Color Book has printed swatches of all 188 RAL colors.
What Are the Best Applications for RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat?
Road safety infrastructure, traffic cones and barriers, and public composite structures where the standardized Traffic Orange finish is required. For open-air repair applications, combine with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive to cure tack free.
How Should RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?
Apply RAL 2009 Traffic Orange Color Gel Coat by spraying onto a properly prepared mold surface, catalyzed with #69 MEKP at 1.5% to 2.5%. Build up 4 to 5 coats at about 5 mils per coat, allowing 15 to 20 minutes between each, for a finished thickness of 20 to 25 mils total.
The #122-A Gel Coat Thickness Gauge takes the guesswork out of film build. Use #70 Styrene Thinner or Duratec #1039/#1040 to reach spray viscosity if needed. One gallon yields 40 to 80 square feet of coverage. As a made-to-order product, all Color Gel Coat sales are final.
