Our integrated solutions continue to grow and cross borders. This time, we are proud to announce our arrival in Peru, a dynamic and constantly evolving market.
For Plaquimet, expansion means much more than reaching new destinations with its products. It involves thoroughly understanding each project, supporting our clients with technical commitment, and providing personalized training and advice. This approach is what sets us apart and allows us to build lasting relationships based on trust and results.
To face this new challenge, we are adding Sergio Soler Fischmann to our team in Peru. He is a professional with more than 35 years of experience. Over the last decade, he has specialized in services and supplies related to GRP, consolidating solid experience in the industrial and composite materials sectors.
His addition strengthens our ability to offer solutions tailored to local needs, with a strategic, technical, and commercial perspective.
Regarding products, the arrival includes our renowned Polymet resins and Britec gelcoats, along with ideal complements from our international partners such as Diab, Swancor, and Akpa.
With this comprehensive proposal, we hope to be well-received in Peru, supporting the sustained growth of its industry and adding value at every stage of the process.
For 15 years, Plaquimet has represented Graco in Argentina and Chile, offering high-quality equipment for mixing and application processes. This North American company, established for almost a century, has evolved alongside technology and industry.
Our solutions are aimed at improving productivity, reducing costs, and raising quality standards. Graco gelcoat sprayers apply gelcoat evenly to molds and parts, adapting to open and closed processes. They are also used in die-casting and top coat applications.
The sprayers allow for the simultaneous application of resin and fiberglass, making them ideal for laminating and surface coating. Both machines stand out for their efficient material consumption, low maintenance, and operational safety.
Key Benefits:
At Plaquimet, we provide tailored solutions backed by reliable, world-class technology.
At Plaquimet, we have a specialized testing center that guarantees the maximum performance of our products. Thanks to the daily work of our technical team, we test and perfect their properties to meet the highest quality standards.
For our Britec Gelcoat line, the main tests performed are:
Blistering: Simulates accelerated attack by contact with water for periods equivalent to 3, 5, or 10 years. It complies with the ANSI Z standard and demonstrates Britec’s effectiveness in preventing blistering in demanding environments.
QUV Weathering: Reproduces the effect of the passage of time through UV cycles, rain, and darkness. Under ASTM standards, it allows you to project how the surface behaves under real-world weathering conditions.
Color Spectrophotometer: Ensures traceability and color consistency between batches, even over time. Because aesthetics are also durability.
Gloss Meter: Quantitatively evaluates surface gloss and allows for accurate comparisons before and after QUV weathering.
Every application with Britec is synonymous with durability, visual stability, and technical support. Because at Plaquimet, we don’t just develop gelcoats: we design confidence into every layer.
In the pool filter housing industry, the most widely used production systems are traditional ones such as Spray-Up and Hand-Lay-Up. However, VPI (Vacuum Press Infusion) technology developed by Alan Harper, along with its reusable silicone lid, offers substantial improvements in efficiency, cost, and sustainability.
Main benefits:
Plaquimet’s technical team provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process: from mold production, the selection of reinforcements and resins, to the manufacturing of the VPI silicone membrane, staff training, and the production of the first parts.
This solution represents a technological leap forward for the sector, combining efficiency, quality, and environmental commitment.
