About this product
SPR 201 FR-GC is the fire-retardant gelcoat of the orthophthalic family. It is applied to the mould face before lay-up so that a fire-retardant FRP part carries a fire-retardant outer skin, and the supplier pairs it with the family’s fire-retardant laminating resins.
The supplier lists rail and metro composite components, automotive FRP components, and surface gelcoat for fire-retardant FRP laminates. A terephthalic fire-retardant gelcoat, SPR 401 FRGC, is also in the range.
Samrat FRP Traders handles enquiries for this Samrat Poly Resins, India grade in Nepal. Pricing, packaging and availability are confirmed on enquiry.
What this means for buyers
Pair it with the laminate

Thixotropic, MEKP only
It is supplied non-accelerated and thixotropic, with MEKP at 1.5–2.0% as the reference cure.

How to read these values
- These are typical values from the supplier’s product catalogue. They describe the grade; they are not batch guarantees or acceptance limits.
- A gelcoat is the mould-face surface layer of an FRP part. It is applied to the mould before lay-up and is not a laminating resin.
- A fire-retardant formulation does not by itself establish a certified fire rating. The finished laminate has to be tested to the standard your project requires.
- Resin data does not guarantee the performance of a finished FRP component. Confirm suitability with a trial on your own process, reinforcement and cure conditions.
Applications and processes
Uses listed in the supplier’s catalogue.
- Rail and metro composite components
- Automotive FRP components
- Surface gelcoat for fire-retardant FRP laminates
Limitations
- A gelcoat is one layer of a part. It does not give a part a fire rating on its own; pair it with the fire-retardant laminating resin of the same project.
- The values shown are typical catalogue values for the grade, not batch guarantees, acceptance limits or a Technical Data Sheet. Confirm the current data before relying on a figure.
- Resin data does not describe a finished part. Strength, durability, fire behaviour and chemical resistance of a part depend on its design, reinforcement, process, cure and testing.
When to consider a different resin
These grades are made for a different situation. Match them against your own service conditions.

Sources: the 2026 product catalogue of Samrat Poly Resins, India for the catalogue grades, and each earlier product’s published Technical Data Sheet summary. Values are typical and were measured under the conditions each source states, so they are a guide to selection, not batch guarantees. Viscosities measured at different spindle speeds or shear conditions are not directly comparable.
Manufacturing and quality context
Samrat Poly Resins manufactures the grade in Doraha, Punjab, India. Its 2026 catalogue presents every grade under its resin chemistry and code and describes a quality inspection laboratory at Doraha. Batch-specific questions, gel-time or viscosity queries and clarification of catalogue values are answered by the manufacturer’s technical team.
The catalogue recommends a trial on the customer’s own process and reinforcement before commercial use: typical values are not a substitute for a trial. Technical and safety data sheets are issued grade by grade: this grade’s Technical Data Sheet is published on this page, and a Safety Data Sheet has not been issued for it here. Ask for the current revision before relying on a document.
Samrat FRP Traders supplies and imports the grade for Nepal and handles enquiries. It does not manufacture, reformulate or certify resins.

Handling and safety
- Use suitable personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation.
- Store resin, initiators and accelerators separately, in original sealed containers, cool, shaded and away from heat and ignition sources.
- Add the initiator and the accelerator to the resin separately, according to the confirmed process.
- Never mix a concentrated peroxide initiator directly with a cobalt accelerator.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a laminating resin?
No. It is a gelcoat, the surface layer applied to the mould before the laminate is laid up.
Which is the other fire-retardant gelcoat?
SPR 401 FRGC, a terephthalic fire-retardant gelcoat with its own specification.
Is a technical or safety data sheet available?
Yes. The supplier’s Technical Data Sheet for this grade is published on this page — Doc. Ref SPR-TDS-FGC, Rev. 01, September 2026, issued by Samrat Poly Resins, India. No Safety Data Sheet has been issued for this grade on this site; ask us and we will request the current one.
Is cobalt part of the reference cure?
The catalogue lists MEKP 1.5–2.0% for this grade, added during use. Follow the confirmed process for your gelcoat.
Which colours are available?
The catalogue describes a milky white to grey opaque liquid, with custom-tinted variants where supplied. Confirm the colour on enquiry.
