What Is RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat?   RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat is a made-to-order polyester gel coat matched to the RAL 5012 standard. It is applied first in the mold, forming the outermost surface layer of the finished part. The Light Blue color is built into the material, not painted on, so it cannot chip or wear away from the surface.   Why Choose RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat?   Light Blue is a bright, clean blue with a fresh, open quality that makes it one of the more vivid medium blues in the RAL range. Its clarity and brightness make it a natural specification for consumer products, sporting goods, and composite parts where a clean, recognizable light blue finish is required. Fibre Glast matches it precisely to the RAL 5012 standard, so the color is consistent and repeatable across production runs. For physical color confirmation before ordering, the #4008-A RAL Color Book has printed swatches of all 188 RAL colors.   What Are the Best Applications for RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat?   Consumer products, sporting goods, and composite parts where a bright, clean light blue finish is the specification. For open-air repair applications, combine with Duratec Hi-Gloss Additive to cure tack free.   How Should RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat Be Used for Best Results?   RAL 5012 Light Blue Color Gel Coat is catalyzed with #69 MEKP at 1.5% to 2.5%.
