ArmorFlex® 963XK161 meets the EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing and Reinforced Composites Construction. ArmorFlex® 963XK161 possesses important construction application qualities, such as: resistance to porosity, tearing, and sag, consistent liquid properties, and good patchability. These characteristics result in the production of high quality parts. Features and Benefits: - Superior weathering properties (compared to conventional gel coats)
- Blister resistance
- High gloss BUFFBACK® characteristics
- Smoother sprayed film (less orange peel)
ArmorFlex® 963XK161 is developed for marine application, so it is specifically formulated for use in high performance FRP applications where exterior gel coats are used. Some examples include the addition of metal flakes or backing the clear coat with a solid color. ArmorFlex® 963XK161 addresses the following special needs involving clear coats:- Exterior durability – Surpasses previous commercial gel coats in their resistance to yellowing, fading, and loss of gloss
- Flexibility – Excellent for reducing cracking and crazing
- Application – Easy to spray with minimal air entrapment and good air release
- Sag resistance – Sprayed films resist sagging and slumping
