The document discusses the production process of glass reinforced plastic (GRP) boats and the various products used for polishing gelcoat surfaces.

The main steps involved in the production of GRP boats are plug construction, mould construction, lamination, assembly, and bodywork.

Plugs and moulds are made to faithfully reproduce the shape and characteristics of the boat. The plug is used to make the mould, which is then used to mass produce fiberglass boat blanks.

MARINE

The whole ICR production in a complete and


updated survey. An extremely wide range of
products deriving from a perfect synergy of
technological specialization, industrial chemical
know-how and marketing experience. Such a
various offer is the result of a constant research

on new manufacturing formulas and top-quality


standards that ICR has always been pursuing,
making of its bent for innovation a consolidated
success factor.

THE PRODUCTION OF GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC BOATS

GRP Boats Production

Lamination

The production of GRP boats can be divided into 5 phases:


- Plug construction
- Mould construction
- Lamination
- Assembly
- Bodywork

The production of laminates reflects the mould construction


process. Articles made with good quality materials and
controlled impregnation processes require fast assembly and
finishing operations.

Plug construction

A medium or large sized watercraft consists of tens of laminates,


matched-moulds and detached pieces which are joined
together in different ways: assembly using glues, bonding
with structural adhesives, banding with reinforcing fabric.

Assembly

The plug is obtained by building a framework made of wood,


polystyrene or polyurethane whose surface will then be coated
with putty, fiberglass-reinforced plastic or paint: the materials
chosen will depend on the size and number of moulds to be
produced.
A good quality plug (male part) will have a coating of uniform
thickness, very high surface hardness, and will be finished off
in a workmanlike manner.
The characteristics will be faithfully reproduced on the surface
of the subsequent mould (female part).

Bodywork
The bodywork department carries out all the assembly and
banding operations. It is also the place where defects are
eliminated and the products subjected to a final sanding and
polishing phase. Incorrect use of the materials in this
department (glue that is not very hard, stopper subjected to
excessive shrinkage, etc.) will create defects that are not
immediately visible but that will become evident within a very
short time.

Mould construction
Mould construction begins by applying dismantling wax on
the model so that this latter can be subsequently dismantled.
The process continues by applying a film of polyester or
vinylester gelcoat and following layers of matting and fabric,
adequately impregnated with resin, until the planned thickness
and rigidity have been obtained.
A mould that has been correctly designed and made will be
able to reproduce a great number of high quality blanks that
can be repeated whenever required.

ICR PRODUCTS IN THE GRP BOATS PRODUCTION PROCESS

Plugs

Assembly

Usually, the framework of the plug is assembled and the


wooden panels fixed to the garboards with thixotropic glue
with a high bonding power and low shrinkage.

All the GRP laminates of a boat are assembled together with


very hard, low shrinkage thixotropic glues.

The shaped wooden panels are coated with stopper that can
be easily applied by knife. It can also be easily sanded and
worked within a reasonable time.

The hull and deck are always fixed together with bolts and
rivets.
To ensure the watertight, hull and deck are sealed outside
with structural adhesives or long open time glue and have to
be banded with fabrics outside.

When the putty has fully polymerized, the articles are sanded
with abrasives. At the end of the process, the surface of the
model will be even and very hard, ready to be coated with
sprayed finishing stopper: this product must be quick to apply,
easily sanded and polished in order to be the ideal base for
the construction of the mould. To get an even better surface
quality, putty can be overcoated with a glossy top coat.

The bulkheads, which are normally built of marine plywood


(small boats) and with sandwich panels for medium-large
craft, are positioned with glue.
After this, the bulkheads are laminated along their entire
perimeter with resin-impregnated fabric.

Bodywork

Lamination

For the joining of the laminates, hard and thixotropic glues


are applied for filling the space; to form a continuous and
uniform surface, low shrinkage putties are then applied before
the touching up with gelcoat. .

After the gelcoat has been applied, the next phase in the
production of a GRP laminate is the stratification with mat
and fabrics of different characteristics and weight. These
layers are impregnated with resin until the required thickness
has been obtained.
Some of the linking radius are undersized in many articles:
owing to lack of space, the operator will be unable to position
the first mat in direct contact with the gelcoat. Special, very
hard, easily workable glues that do not shrink are used to get
over this processing error, which often gives rise to bubbles
and defects requiring great labour to eliminate them.
To reduce the weight of the articles while maintaining excellent
mechanical characteristics, sheets of light and resistant core
materials (such as PVC, balsa, termanto) are glued to the
external skin. Specific bonders with
high adhesive power and low weight density (from 0.7 to 1.3
kg per liter) are used to fix these.
The laminate is completed by stratifying the internal skin
which will be subsequently reinforced with floor plates and
longitudinal members: these medium-density polyurethane
structures can be positioned with glue and then laminated
with resin-impregnated fabrics.

F23 VINYLESTER SPRAY FILLER


LIGHTWEIGHT VINYLESTER SPRAY FILLER

Description
High performance spray-applied filler for use on surfaces
above and below the waterline, made from vinylester resins
and very fine grade mineral components.

Main Features

PUTTIES

- excellent adhesion on unsaturated polyester resin and


vinylester resin based fillers
- high filling power with low specific weight
- easy sanding
- very resistant to hydrolysis
- suitable for cycles including the application of dark colours
(such as blue or black).

Recommended uses
- as an intermediate filler for fibreglass articles.

Method of application
- sand the relative surfaces with P100-P120 grade abrasive paper
- degrease throughly with Antisil V09
- apply multiple coats of F23 to achieve maximum thickness of
600 microns for surfaces not requiring alteration; or maximum
800 microns for flat surfaces
- sand F23 with P100-P120 grade abrasive paper then degrease
with Antisil V09, following the recommended application times
- apply coats of epoxy primer (e.g. F70 Epoxy Primer Sprint) or
545 Epoxy Primer by Awlgrip on top of the filler, to a dry thickness
of 70-80 microns
- continue the painting cycle, up to the application of the
polyurethane finish.
