INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for the Marine Industry

Water destroys most materials; marine-grade plastics ignore it. HDPE marine board won't rot, swell or splinter, acrylic and polycarbonate glaze without corrosion-staining, and UV-stable grades hold color season after season. We cut marine board and glazing to your dimensions.

Common Marine Applications

  • Fuel lines
  • Cowls
  • Fairings
  • Fishing rod holders and racks
  • Boat and dock bumpers
  • Pulleys and sheaves
  • Switch board panels
  • Relay bases
  • Rudder and stern shaft bearings
  • Deck machinery bushings and linear bearings
  • Pump bearings
  • Cabinetry
  • Swim platforms
  • Grab rails and handles
  • Decking
  • Gangways and steps
  • Windows
  • Sealing

Why Plastics Win

  • Stable and rigid
  • Saltwater, UV, weather, chemical, odor and stain resistant
  • Low coefficient of thermal expansion
  • Increases hydrodynamics
  • Complex, sculpted contours; easy to fabricate
  • Superior flatness, doesn’t warp or delaminate
  • Lightweight
  • No painting required
  • Cleans easily
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Excellent bearing and wear performance
  • Does not rot, swell or splinter
  • Flexible, bends without breaking
  • Non-conductive
  • Available in many colors
  • Cellulosics
  • Epoxy
  • Ionomer
