    No. Name Common Specifications Core Function Remarks
    1 Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) Viscosity: in Winter 200–280 Mpa.s
    in Summer 250–350 Mpa.s
    As the resin matrix, it binds various reinforcing materials, determines the corrosion resistance, temperature resistance and basic mechanical properties of the sheet, and serves as the core carrier for molding. Divided into general-purpose, corrosion-resistant and flame-retardant types by application, suitable for different scenario needs.
    2 Fiberglass chopped roving E-glass (alkali-free yarn) Cooperates with chopped mat for reinforcement, enhances the tensile strength and flexural strength of the sheet, and can be laid in layers according to the thickness and load-bearing requirements of the sheet. Commonly used in the production of high-strength, high-load sheets, such as FRP water tanks and cover plates.
    3 Biaxially Oriented Polyester Film (BOPET film) Thickness 19μm–25μm Molding auxiliary material, plays the role of demolding and shaping, ensures the surface finish of the sheet, avoids raw materials adhering to the mold, and reduces surface defects. Disposable, suitable for various molding processes such as hand lay-up and compression molding.
    4 Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide Solution (MEKP) Reactive Oxygen 9–10% Curing agent, initiates the cross-linking and curing reaction of UPR resin, promotes the resin to convert from liquid to solid, and realizes the molding and shaping of the sheet. Flammable and explosive, must be stored separately, and the addition ratio must be strictly controlled during use.
    5 Cobalt-based Additives Cobalt content 0.6–1% Accelerates the curing reaction rate of MEKP, adjusts the curing time (adapts to 5–30 minutes molding demand), and ensures uniform and sufficient curing. The addition amount must match MEKP; excessive amount may cause sheet embrittlement.

    Advantage of FRP Gel Coat Sheet

    • ☀️
      Excellent weather resistance: Resistant to UV, rain, high and low temperatures. It does not fade, crack, or become brittle even after long-term outdoor use.
    • 🛡️
      Strong corrosion resistance: Waterproof, acid and alkali resistant, ideal for factories, warehouses, farms and coastal areas.
    • ⚡
      Light weight but high strength: Lighter than metal and tile materials while maintaining good impact resistance and load capacity.
    • 💡
      Good light transmission & heat insulation: Provides soft natural lighting, reduces indoor temperature, and saves energy for workshops and buildings.
    • 🔧
      Easy installation & low maintenance: The wave structure ensures fast installation, strong waterproof performance, and almost no later maintenance cost.

    ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

    Q What is an FRP gel coat sheet and what is it used for?
    An FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) gel coat sheet is a composite panel made from unsaturated polyester resin, fiberglass reinforcement, and a protective gel coat surface layer. It is widely used for roofing, wall cladding, water tanks, cover plates, and building facades in factories, warehouses, farms, and coastal environments.
    Q What are the key raw materials used in FRP gel coat sheet production?
    The main raw materials include Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR) as the matrix, E-glass fiberglass chopped roving for reinforcement, BOPET film as a molding aid, MEKP as the curing agent, and cobalt-based additives as the accelerator. Each material plays a critical role in determining the final sheet's strength, surface quality, and durability.
    Q Can FRP gel coat sheets be customized in size and thickness?
    Yes. Our production line features a precision thickness control system and an automatic cutting system, allowing us to manufacture FRP gel coat sheets in custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses to meet your specific project requirements.
    Q How does the gel coat layer improve the performance of FRP sheets?
    The gel coat system automatically and evenly applies a protective resin layer onto the sheet surface. This layer provides excellent UV resistance, prevents color fading and surface cracking, enhances gloss and appearance, and significantly improves the sheet's long-term weather and corrosion resistance.
    Q What quality control measures are used during production?
    Our production line integrates a thickness control system with bubble-eliminating rollers, a heating oven for uniform curing, an air cooling system to prevent yellowing, and an automatic cutting system for precise dimensions. These systems work together to ensure consistent quality, flatness, surface gloss, and structural integrity in every sheet produced.
    Q What is the minimum order quantity and what is the lead time?
    We support both small trial orders and large-volume production. As a direct manufacturer with extensive export experience, we offer competitive pricing, flexible MOQ arrangements, and reliable delivery timelines.
