The difference between Gel Coat Resin and ordinary Resin: 1. The concept of Gel coat resin and ordinary resin Gel Coat resin and ordinary resin are both organic polymer compounds and are commonly used synthetic materials. They have many similarities, but there are significant differences in raw materials, characteristics, and uses. 2. Differences in raw materials Ordinary resins are mainly prepared by polymerization of monomers such as styrene and propylene, such as polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. And gel coat resin is made by blending rubber materials such as styrene butadiene rubber and styrene acrylic rubber with resin monomers.
3. Differences in characteristics (1) Hardness difference: Ordinary resins are generally harder, while gel coat resins are softer and easier to bend and stretch. (2) Different toughness: Ordinary resin is prone to fracture and is a brittle material, while gel coat resin has good toughness and can withstand large tensile and tearing forces. (3)Transparency difference: Ordinary resin has high transparency, while gel coat resin has poor transparency and is often used in the production of semi transparent parts. 4. Differences in purpose Ordinary resin is often used to produce various daily necessities, such as plastic cups, plastic drawers, etc. And gel coat resin, due to its flexibility and toughness, is often used in the production of elastic items such as artificial leather, tape, and insulation cups. 5. Conclusion By comparing the properties and uses of gel coat resin and ordinary resin, it can be seen that they have significant differences in terms of raw materials, property characteristics, and application fields. Understanding these differences helps to correctly select and apply these two materials, thereby better meeting practical needs.
