RAL 6012 - Black Green

What Is RAL 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat?

RAL 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat is a polyester gel coat matched to the RAL 6012 Black Green standard, made to order for precise color repeatability. It is laid into the mold before the structural laminate, forming the hard, colored outer surface of the finished composite part. The Black Green is integral to the gel coat, not a coating applied afterward.

Why Choose RAL 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat?

Black Green is one of the darkest greens in the RAL range. It carries enough black that it reads as near-black in low light, only revealing its green character in direct illumination. This gives it a strong, low-visibility character that is widely specified for military and heavy industrial composite parts. Fibre Glast matches it precisely to the RAL 6012 standard, so the color is consistent and repeatable across production runs. 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 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat?

Military components, heavy industrial equipment housings, and tactical composite parts where a very dark, low-visibility green finish is required. For open-air repairs, combine with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive to cure tack free outside of a mold.

How Should RAL 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?

RAL 6012 Black Green Color Gel Coat is best applied by spraying over a clean, properly prepared mold surface. Catalyze with #69 MEKP at 1.5% to 2.5%, then build the film in 4 to 5 coats of roughly 5 mils each, giving each coat 15 to 20 minutes before applying the next, for a total film thickness of 20 to 25 mils. Confirm thickness with the #122-A Gel Coat Thickness Gauge. Thin to spray viscosity with #70 Styrene Thinner or Duratec #1039/#1040 Clear Hi-Gloss Additive as needed. Expect 40 to 80 square feet of coverage per gallon. Made to order; all Color Gel Coat sales are final.
