ASHLAND DEVELOPS SPRAYABLE GRANITE CLEAR GEL COAT
10 February 2005 - Ashland Inc

Ashland Composite Polymers, a business group within Ashland Specialty Chemical, a division of Ashland Inc., is introducing MAXGUARD® CG-SG-0010 sprayable granite clear gel coat in a continuing effort to innovate solutions to meet our customers' needs. Developed to streamline processes, this gel coat works well in both premixed and dry hopper applications.

Ashland's MAXGUARD CG-SG-0010 gel coat provides excellent sag resistance and air release to minimize rework and creates high-quality parts when sprayed with both atomized and non-atomized equipment. The gel coat exhibits excellent color and clarity when sprayed, allowing for truer and bolder colors from the granite chips. In addition, the MAXGUARD CG-SG-0010 gel coat has passed the ANSI 124.3 standard.

'In the past, we had customers using both the premix and dry hopper systems and they had to buy two different gel coats for the two processes,' said Dianne Coon, industry manager, Ashland Composite Polymers. 'Ashland has created this new spray granite gel coat to work in both processes, allowing the customer to reduce the number of raw materials in their shop.'

MAXGUARD CG-SG-0010 gel coat is not recommended for cultured marble applications. Existing gel coats in the MAXGUARD premium gel coat line that can be used for cultured marble include the MAXGUARD CG-44 marble clear gel coat series and MAXGUARD CG-40 marble clear gel coat series which contain a maximum of 44 percent hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and 40 percent HAP, respectively.
