MR. JO Gelkot-BLU : Blue Epoxy Gelcoat for Ceramic Models, Molds & Composite Tooling

MR. JO Gelkot-BLU is a high-performance two-component blue epoxy gelcoat designed specifically for applications that demand precision, surface durability, and visual contrast. It is ideal for mold making, composite tooling, foundry patterns, and working models in industries like ceramics, engineering, and prototyping.

Formulated with high viscosity and a thixotropic nature, this solvent-free system cures rapidly at room temperature, creating a smooth, tough, chemical-resistant skin that holds its shape and finish, even under repeated use.

🧩 The Challenge at Many Sites

Waterproofing failures often stem from an unexpected source: the water added during mixing. On-site dilution with hard water, unmeasured quantities, or inconsistent mixing can compromise the final film.

Even the best epoxy systems can falter if a careless mix leads to chalky coatings, patchy curing, or poor bonding. Especially in large projects, controlling field variables becomes a challenge.

🔵 Key Features

🎯High Viscosity & Thixotropic Flow – Stays put on vertical or contoured surfaces without sagging.

⏱Fast Room-Temperature Curing – Enhances speed of production with no need for ovens.

💪Hard, Durable Finish – Abrasion-resistant, polishable, and built for long-term use.

🧪Excellent Chemical & Thermal Resistance – Withstands harsh environments typical in tooling and casting.

🖌Brush or Spatula Application – Easy to apply even on fine-detail or complex shapes.

🌱 Solvent-Free – Ensures a safer, low-odor, and cleaner working environment.

🧪 Why Choose MR. JO Gelkot-BLU?

• Vivid Blue Contrast
  Makes surface imperfections easy to spot and enables visual checks during fabrication.
• Clean Application
  Its paste-like flow avoids drips and runs — ideal for intricate or vertical geometry.
• Fast Turnaround
  Rapid cure at room temperature keeps production timelines on track.
• Excellent Adhesion
  Sticks reliably to epoxy-compatible substrates without delamination or air entrapment.
• Long-Term Performance
  Maintains gloss and strength over repeated demolding and temperature cycles.

🛠️ Application Instructions

1. Surface Prep
   Ensure the master/model is clean, dust-free, and treated with an appropriate release agent.
2. Mixing
   Combine 100 parts resin to 14 parts hardener (by weight) and stir until homogeneous.
3. Application
   Apply by brush or spatula in a 1–2 mm thickness. Avoid overly thick spots to prevent trapped air or improper cure.
4. Curing
   Allow to cure at ambient temperature in a clean, shaded area free from dust.
5. Topcoat or Layup
   Laminate over with composites or use as-is for surface protection once fully tack-free.

📦 Packaging Options

• Convenient kits designed for manual application.
• Bulk quantities available for industrial use or automated shops.

⚠️ Storage & Handling

• Store in cool, dry, sealed containers between 18–25°C.
• Use PPE such as gloves and goggles during mixing and application.
• Refer to MSDS for safe handling, disposal, and first aid measures.

MR. JO Gelkot-BLU delivers a reliable, durable, and visually sharp solution for mold surfaces, laminating tools, and working prototypes. Whether in ceramics, composites, or engineering molds, its blue color aids visibility, its fast-cure formula improves throughput, and its tough epoxy base ensures every mold stays sharp and strong, use after use.
