FAQ

What is paraffined styrene used for?

It is used as an additive in polyester resin systems to remove surface tackiness.

How much should be added?

About 3% by weight of the resin.

Can gelcoat be converted into topcoat?

Yes, adding paraffined styrene allows gelcoat to fully cure without a sticky surface.

Why does polyester resin stay sticky?

Because curing in contact with oxygen inhibits full surface curing.
