Materials and parts for boat structure
If you are a boat builder, we have a range of products and services supporting your requirement for high quality and best processing materials. Sheets with the most demanding level of welding and resilients:
enormous number of design possibilities
high chemical and UV resistance
material is about three times lighter than aluminium
Typical parts include
hulls
blankets
wheelhouse
Product examples
The performance and service life of materials used in the boat building sector are influenced by a variety of factors. When choosing the right material, factors such as surface quality requirements, contact with salt water, oil and fuels, processing properties and/or density are essential.
Polystone® G HD components for hulls, blankets or control desks
Very good welding and processing properties
enormous number of design possibilities
recyclable material
High chemical and UV resistance - even in contact with salt water, oil and fuels
With a density of 0.95g/cm³, the material is about eight times lighter than steel
higher safety, as it is lighter than water
greater manoeuvrability and fuel efficiency
Particularly long-lived, resilient and reduced maintenance effort and costs
does not corrode - no protective coating required
ABS RP-250 components for hulls or blankets of recreational boats
Suitable for thermoforming enormous number of design possibilities
Requiring high impact resistance even at low temperatures
Co-extruded with ASA
a good UV resistance and weather ability
Special ABS grade, which has very good elongation at break.
Coloured through, scratches are not visible
Easy to repair with Terhi Fix, which is mass very close to ABS plastic
