STEALTH High Tech Coatings “HTC” are advanced coatings that are specially modified to work in the fiberglass industry. They’re changing the way composite manufacture’s view what can be done to enhance their finished products. Just by top-coating a gel-coated or primed part, you gain superior UV protection, no oxidization, anti-graffiti properties, phenomenal impact and abrasion resistance, great self-leveling properties, no styrene, low to no VOC’s, can be sprayed, rolled or brushed on.
BELOW ARE NUMOROUS HOW TO VIDEOS SHOWING ARE COATINGS BEING USED/TESTED AND HOW OUR STEALTH HTC COATINGS CAN BE APPLIED TO DIFFERENT FIBERGLASS TEST PANELS.
Take your Composite parts to the next level!
our high tech coatings are used in numerous indoor and outdoor products and applicaions.
Stealth High Tech Coatings manufacturers a large selection of specially formulated coatings for the fiberglass market. We offer both Aromatic and Aliphatic coatings, with our aliphatic coating delivering superior UV performance. Our High-Tech Coatings are more of a technology vs just another coating. Our advanced coating technology allows us to modify a coating to meet a customer’s specific need in many circumstances. Most likely we’ve got what you’re looking for, and if you don’t see it listed it doesn’t mean we don’t have it. Our more popular coatings are listed on the site, with properties most of our customers are looking for. We offer many different gel times (shorter or longer) pot life, high gloss, matt or satin finishes, water clear, or pigmented. We have solvent based with low voc’s, water born coatings with NO solvents, as well as our Tech Pure coatings with Zero VOC’s and Haps. If you don’t see it, ask our technical staff.
Our Aliphatic High-Tech Coatings have unprecedented UV protection compared to other protective coatings on the market. All our coatings are a minimum of 4x the strength of epoxies, with far superior performance when it comes to UV protection, gloss retention, oxidization resistant, scratch, abrasion and impact resistance as well as chemical resistance. HTC Coatings have fantastic elongation properties allowing them to expand and contract during times of thermo-col expansion. Our coatings range from 100% elongation up to 514% to suit just about any surface or substrate you’re looking to bond to. For instance, materials like, fiberglass, polyester gelcoat, epoxies, wood, plastics, concrete, even metals. Another huge advantage over all other coatings, this includes Epoxies, & Polyesters is their ability to be applied in extremely low temperatures. Some of our coatings can be applied below zero F.
**Images Below: These fiberglass parts below, were sprayed with a Black polyester in-mold, once pulled and trimmed, parts were sanded and acetone wiped. They were then sprayed using our HTC-AUWB-Matte finish coating, using a HVLP with a 1.4 tip to create the fine texture. Customer hit part with a hammer in front of their customer to display the coatings durability. They also displayed how easy it is to repair any area if it somehow becomes damaged. Simply respray the affected area and let dry.
Our Stealth High Tech Coatings are used in many products, processes, industries and environments. Many of our customers apply our coatings over top of existing fiberglass resin parts, this includes over the primer or gelcoat due to our coating’s superior physical performance. Some customers use our pigmented coatings on the back side of their fiberglass parts to hide the fiber print. Our coatings are perfect where there is no protective gelcoat, like pultruded, or filament wound parts protecting against fiber blooming, UV degradation, scratch, and impact defects. There also used as the inside and outside coatings where water and chemical containment tanks made out of fiberglass or steel, due to its ability to withstand some of the harshest chemicals on the planet. Several of our coatings are used in refurbishing inground fiberglass pools that need to be re-coated after years of service. Another big advantage with our HTC Coatings over other coatings is its weathering abilities. Our coatings do not oxidize while maintaining their high gloss look unlike epoxies or polyester gel coats. So, applying a clear coat over your boat’s gelcoat will keep it looking great for years to come. So not only are you protecting the gelcoat from oxidization and discoloration, but you’re also protecting it from chipping, cracking, and scratches. Polyester gel coats are hard and have little flexibility with only about 2% elongation, so they are extremely prone to cracking and chipping when impacted. Our HTC topcoats are designed to work perfectly to protect any gelcoat. *Watch Impact video below using our HTC93PA *Watch video below to see how you can add value to your fiberglass parts using HTC-AUWB Coatings.
*Video below: Shows our HTC-AUWB Matte coating being sprayed using an HVLP spray gun over a Dura Tech polyester gelcoat with our Stealth Veil water fowl camo. Watch to see how effective this coating is at removing the high gloss finish from the gelcoat at the same time protecting it from UV degradation, oxidization, abrasion, and impacts.
"You'll see possibilities everwhere!"
The picture above shows our Stealth HTC70PA being applied over one of our Stealth Veil wood grain patterns on an old metal door. The temperature this day was 29F outside in Michigan. You can watch the full video in our “How to Video’s”.
The above *video demonstrates how our HTC Coatings are all Graffiti proof. The video shows how our coatings after being sprayed with Rust-Oleum spray paint, allowing it to dry for 48hrs. We spray an off the shelf graffiti remover on several cutouts that had different HTC coating applied to them. Watch to see how our coatings performed, you’ll be amazed.
Now you’re ready to get started spraying textures and non-skids
*Watch video below: Learn how to spray textures using an HVLP or HTE spray gun just by changing tip sizes. Our HTC-AUWB coating is a 3:1 waterborne system formulated to work perfectly with your FRP parts. Learn how to add an aesthetically pleasing texture overtop of your gel coated or primed FRP part. In doing so you’ll be adding an extremely durable topcoat that will add several physical properties your gel coat wish it had.
Learn how to post spray a Class A top-coat in clear or pigmented. Using Stealth HTC-AUWB High Gloss
*Watch video below: Learn to spray our HTC-AUWB High Gloss top-coat using nothing more than an HVLP or HTE spray gun. Choosing the appropriate tip size is important to achieve the smooth class A finish your looking for. Protecting your gelcoat from UV degradation, oxidization, impacts, and abrasion resistance.
The *video on the right show more examples of how are HTC-AUWB Matte coatings work over colored gelcoats, as well as over our Stealth Veils.
The video on the top right shows several examples of spraying our HTC-AUWB Matte coating. It shows a test panel being sprayed and then what took 45 min in real time, shows the high gloss gelcoat that was sprayed by the HTC-AUWB Matte fully turning to Matte in a sped up time lapse.
***IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET HTC-AUWB FREEZE: IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT ABOVE 50F. WHEN NOT BEING USED ALWAYS KEEP LID ON AS ALL OUR COATINGS CURE IS DRIVING BY HUMIDITY.
The *Video Above: shows how we took and old painted steel door and refurbished it using our Batouk Tropical wood grain veil and our HTC70PA polyaspartic coating. As you’ll see many of our coatings can be applied in temperatures that polyester gelcoats and resin will not cure.
