Ultratec™ 606 RED: Anti-Static Vinyl Ester Tooling Gelcoat
Eliminating static electric charge build up on mould surfaces to minimise fire and explosion hazards in the workshop
Ultratec® 606 Red is a high performance tooling gelcoat based on an Epoxy-Novolac vinyl ester resin, which also provides
excellent heat resistance and maximum resistance to chemicals and solvents.
Ultratec® 606 Red incorporates Nano-Technology to provide antistatic properties in the cured Gelcoat finish. The typical68
surface resistivity measurements for the properly cured gelcoat surface are generally in the range of 10 to 3 x 10
Ω/square which is the defined range for Static Dissipative coatings, making this product suitable as an anti-static Tooling
Gelcoat for reduced fire and explosion hazard risks in the workshop.
Ultratec® 606 Red provides a lasting high gloss finish which will stand up to a large number of moulding/demoulding
cycles between each waxing and polishing operation provided the tooling gelcoat is properly cured. Minimum application
temperature during cure should be 18°C. These gelcoats have been formulated for spray application.

How do SWCNT (Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Graphene Nanotubes) work?
Concentration of carbon particles at 0.1wt%
When embedded into a material’s matrix, well-dispersed graphene nanotubes create a 3D reinforced and conductive
network that provides a new set of properties and has minimal impact on the other key properties of final product.
Graphene nanotubes can be described as a one-atom-thick graphene sheet rolled in a tube more than 5 µm long. This
material is commonly called single wall carbon nanotubes. This molecular sheet extends throughout the gelcoat matrix toprovide very effective electrical conductivity properties.

Even though the gelcoat provides anti-static electrical properties, it is still recommended to ground the mould while
demoulding.

Traditional Tooling Gelcoat

New Anti-Static Tooling Gelcoat
12Unable to conduct electrical charge (with a resistance of >10Ω). Static electrical charge build up at cured Gelcoat surface.

Generates static charge while component separates(demoulding)Discharge on human, electrical devices, or flammablematerials. Fire - explosion hazard potential in workshop.

Carbon Black

Able to carry electrical charge with a resistance between
68
10 to 3 x 10 Ω. No Static electrical charge build up atcured Gelcoat surface.
No static discharge while demoulding when earthedproperly

Reduces the risk of static shock, prevents damage ofelectrical devices, and eliminate fire & explosion hazard
due to discharge.

Key Product Benefits
Safer working environment with no electrical discharge during demoulding when appropriately earthed
Less dust on the mould
Improves tool quality
Less force needed for demoulding
Clean manufacturing process without carbon black powder

Recommended Catalyst
This gelcoat requires the use of Norox CHM50 catalyst, which practically eliminates gassing/foaming often
associated with MEKP cured vinyl ester systems. Curox CP-50EAA is also suitable.
