| Gelshield 200 epoxy barrier system for protection against osmosis. Vessels with no signs of osmosis will benefit from application of gelshield, the earlier this is done, the greater the benefits and some manufacturers are applying Gelshield 200 to their hulls either as an option or as standard equipment.Gelshield 200 is a dual function system acting as both an osmosis barrier and antifouling tie-coat. Once the recommended thickness has been applied it can be over-coated by nearly all antifouling paints. Gelshield will also protect metal fittings from corrosion, and so a single product can be applied to hull, sterngear and skin fittings to provide maximum protection to all underwater parts of the vessel.Gelshield 200 can be applied directly to the gelcoat after the appropriate preparation by roller, brush or spray. |
