About Gel Coat Booths

Gel coat is an application used in major areas where the use of plastic, PP or other plastic material cannot be used due to the high cost involved in manufacturing such plastics. Therefore, Fiberglass technology plays a key role in the manufacturing of large-volume, light components. Since gel coats must be sprayed to achieve a better finish, there is a necessity for a Gel Spray Booth — to avoid pollution and ensure operator comfort.

A dust-free room with a Gel Coat Booth is popular for achieving a high-quality gel coat finish — bright, smooth, glossy and corrosion resistant. Autocoat’s Gel Spray Booth has an advanced filtration system that removes styrene vapours and contains overspray for a cleaner, safer workplace. Available in standard sizes or custom configurations for your specific production needs. Well-lit interior with smooth walls allows easy cleaning and maintenance.

Latest Technology for Maximum Gel Coat Effect

Autocoat Engineering has the latest technology and design to achieve the maximum effect of gel coat on the required surface. We manufacture Gel Coat Booths with wide experience of supplying different sized Gel Coat Booths in India and abroad — with different material handling configurations, different product sizes and different production volumes.

Gel Coat Booth & Gel Spray – Applications

Autocoat Gel Spray Booths serve across a wide range of industries where fiberglass and composite materials are used for large, light-weight components:

1

Automobile

Automobile parts — specially door panels, trunk lids, wind deflectors, roofs for buses and lorries — are areas where moulding of plastics is difficult to attain. Fiberglass painted with gel coat gives a premium level of finish to the component. Since these gel coats must be sprayed to achieve a better finish, there is a necessity for a Gel Spray Booth to avoid pollution and ensure operator comfort.
2

Ship Building & Rail Vehicles

Autocoat Engineering has already supplied Gel Coat Booths for companies related to shipbuilding and metro rail and other railway projects — for components like seats, rooftops, side body panels, interiors of cruise line ships and interiors of other railway projects.
3

Wind Energy

Autocoat Engineering, with its foreign tie-ups, is proud to present Gel Coat Booths that can handle large-volume components like windmill rotor blades and other wind turbine body parts — requiring large enclosures with controlled airflow and styrene vapour management.
4

Building & Construction

Autocoat Engineering has also developed special Gel Coat Booths for construction commodities like panels, corrugated sheets, light domes, light shafts, chemical plant tanks and pipes — including applications where the gel coat is acidic in nature, requiring chemically resistant booth materials.
5

Sanitary

A Gel Coat Spray Booth is also a useful piece of equipment for customers who manufacture washstands, shower trays, kitchen counters and similar sanitary products — where a high-gloss, durable, water-resistant gel coat finish is essential for the final product.

Gel Coat Drying Oven – Faster Curing

Autocoat Gel Coat Drying Oven

After the gel coat coating is completed on a component, it must be cured to form cross-linked polymers and subsequently dried with composite polymer matrices — often mixtures of polyester resin and fiberglass, or epoxy resin with glass.

The Autocoat Gel Coat Drying Oven reduces curing time significantly, improves the quality of the finished product, and also reduces dust addition to the gel-sprayed component. Autocoat Gel Coat Drying Oven is the result of long years of expert engineering experience.

50% Reduction in curing time
↓ Dust Reduced dust on gel-coated surfaces
35+ Yrs Expert manufacturing experience

Compliance & Quality Assurance

Autocoat Gel Coat Booths are designed to fulfil all operator safety, pollution and finish quality requirements:

🧑‍🔧

Operator Safety

Styrene vapours and gel coat overspray are continuously exhausted from the operator’s breathing zone by the advanced filtration and ventilation system of the gel spray booth.

🌿

Pollution Norms

Overspray is fully contained within the booth and filtered before exhaust to atmosphere — meeting Indian Pollution Board norms for styrene and particulate matter emissions.

✨

Superior Finish Quality

Dust-free enclosure with controlled airflow ensures a bright, smooth, glossy gel coat finish with excellent corrosion resistance — every time, on every component.
