Adding of these pigment pastes in workshop conditions may cause some variations while weighing the correct amount of color, viscosity-gel time changes. These problems may result in defects on finished products. Colored gelcoats can eliminate these problems and help customers get better results in production. Poliya offers in-house colored gelcoats produced according to customers’ specific color needs in RAL, Pantone, and NCS colors. Coloring of these gelcoats are formulated according to finished part performance needs regarding UV resistance, heavy metal content and chlorine resistance.
Color of gelcoats can be created according to RAL, Pantone, NCS standards and specific customer requirements.

Give us your color code. You can choose from RAL, Pantone or NCS standard color codes. For example RAL 5012 Lichtblau.
Or pick Light or PRO stock color from Poliya’s readily available stock color pastes.
If you don’t have a color code and would like to match a specific color. Send us a 4x4cm sample with the desired gloss value.
What is your application method? Tell us about the composite parts’ performance requirements: indoor, outdoor etc. Some pigments used in color matching may not be suitable for some usage conditions.
Colors can vary under different lighting conditions such as cool or warm light sources due to metamerism.
It is important to specify the main light source where the product is going to be used. Daylight D65 (default), LED (2700K warm or 7000K cold), fluorescent, CFL, incandescent, etc.
Now it is our turn!
Our in-house color lab will prepare your colored gelcoat with high precision.
Color matching and formulations are prepared with spectrophotometric measurements.
After the initial color matching process, we save your color code in customer color database.
