RAL 8004 - Copper Brown

What Is RAL 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat?

RAL 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat delivers the RAL 8004 Copper Brown standard in a polyester gel coat formulated for composite mold work. Gel coat is the outermost layer of a polyester or vinyl ester part, applied to the mold first so it becomes the visible, durable surface face of the finished part. The Copper Brown color is carried in the material itself from the start.

Why Choose RAL 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat?

Copper Brown has a warm, reddish cast with a rich, metallic quality that references the color of natural copper. Its warm, premium character makes it a strong choice for decorative composite panels and architectural parts where a copper-toned brown adds warmth and distinction. Fibre Glast matches it precisely to the RAL 8004 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 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat?

Decorative composite panels, architectural parts, and consumer products where a rich, copper-toned brown finish adds warmth and character. For open-air repair work, combine with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive for a tack-free cure.

How Should RAL 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?

To use RAL 8004 Copper Brown Color Gel Coat, catalyze at 1.5% to 2.5% with #69 MEKP and spray onto a properly prepared mold. Four to five coats of about 5 mils each, with 15 to 20 minutes of dry time between coats, builds the recommended 20 to 25 mil total thickness. Use the #122-A Gel Coat Thickness Gauge to track film build. If the material needs thinning for the spray gun, #70 Styrene Thinner or Duratec #1039/#1040 are both compatible. One gallon covers approximately 40 to 80 square feet. Color Gel Coat is made to order and all sales are final.
