Poly-Fair F26 is a water resistant, low-density polyester-based fairing compound. Poly-Fair F26 has good adhesion to cured fibre reinforced polyester and vinylester laminates. Poly-Fair sands easily, gives a hard finish after a full cure, yet is not brittle and has good impact strength. Poly-Fair F26 is supplied as “R” regular version. Catalyst is included.

Excellent adhesion
Low shrinkage
Poly-Fair F26 is a suitable base for all marine finishes such as polyester, urethane and epoxy paints. Poly-Fair F26 is often covered, prior to painting, with our sprayable polyester-based primer Poly-Fill to hide surface imperfections and to obtain a high-quality finish. (Please refer to the ATC Poly-Fill Technical Data Sheet). Below the waterline, Poly-Fair and Poly-Fill must be covered with epoxy bottom paints.
Poly-Fair F26 fairing compound is used primarily in the boat building and fiberglass fabrication industries for fairing and sanding plugs, moulds, one-off custom boats, fairing of lead keels (not if coated with epoxy), fairing of keel to hull joints, repair of damaged fiberglass parts, and mould rework/modification.
