RAL 7010 - Tarpaulin Grey

What Is RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey Color Gel Coat?

RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey Color Gel Coat is a made-to-order polyester gel coat matched to RAL 7010, Tarpaulin Grey. 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 Tarpaulin Grey color runs through the gel coat material itself rather than sitting on top as a secondary finish.

Why Choose RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey Color Gel Coat?

Tarpaulin Grey is a dark, slightly warm grey with a rugged, utilitarian character. Named after the heavy-duty covering material, it is used on heavy equipment, military composites, and outdoor parts where a tough, dark neutral grey with a functional quality is the specification. Fibre Glast matches it precisely to the RAL 7010 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 7010 Tarpaulin Grey Color Gel Coat?

Heavy equipment housings, military composite parts, and outdoor applications where a dark, rugged grey finish is required. For open-air repair applications, combine with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive to cure tack free.

How Should RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?

Apply RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey 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.
