Marine

Performance plastics are resistant to saltwater, UV, chemicals, sunshine and corrosion, making them perfect for marine applications.

Applications:

  • Tanks (water, chemical, fuel)
  • 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

Advantages May Include:

  •  Lightweight, easier to handle, store and less stable and rigid
