Description and main properties
Clear modified acrylic gelcoat ES-500 based on ISO / NPG is a high-performance gelcoat used for the production of kitchen countertops, sinks and vanities. This product has high resistance to chemical scratches, impacts, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thermal shock. It does not crack or fatigue with temperature changes and is flexible. It can also be used in a variety of composite applications where resistance to atmospheric and hydrolytic conditions as well as chemical and mechanical resistance is important.

Storage conditions of Eskim Code 500
This product should be stored in a dry, clean and cool place (15-25°C) in closed packaging. The shelf life of the product is valid at this storage temperature and it should be noted that high temperatures reduce its shelf life. Products with the same batch number and date should be stored together.
Another factor that affects the lifespan of unsaturated polyester resins containing styrene is sunlight. Styrene must polymerize in sunlight, and products must avoid direct exposure to sunlight to prevent their lifespan from being reduced.
