A gelcoat is an in-mold coating used in fiber-reinforced plastics and cast polymers. Gelcoats are used for making the colored surfaces of fiberglass boats, including hulls and decks as well as other exterior and interior parts. We sell Gelcoats that are applicable for hand lay-up and spray lay-up manufacturing methods. Gelcoats are suitable for use in a variety of products in the building, construction, marine and transport industries.
