Patriot technology was developed to correct many of the quality issues, such as porosity, pre-release, post curing, cracking, alligatoring, and inconsistent thickness. With a catalyst-to-resin variance of less than 1%, the Patriot Gelcoat System delivers precision and accuracy. The Patriot Gelcoat Systems feature a deep induction heat hardened Fluid Section which is then coated with a thick hard chrome layer to increase the wear characteristics of the system, allowing it to run for longer periods. Both the Fluid Section and Catalyst Pump on Patriot™ feature the new “self-healing” seal that has the lowest coefficients of friction available today. This seal does not require packing adjustments, and greatly reduces the problems associated with heat buildup and wear. Patriot Systems are built with modular components to create the optimum configuration for your needs, and keeps you running. Utilizing quick-change components extends the system life and allows for little or no down time. The major components change out in 10 minutes or less. Choose your preference: Available in internal and external mix configurations that both deliver versatile and precise gelcoat performance.
