Our material solutions can easily optimize product and total cost for virtually any marine application.
Boatbuilders know how difficult it is to design and construct the most efficient ship structures. That's why we offer our high-performance composites for hull bottoms, sides, decks, superstructures, bulkheads, stringers, transoms, floors, and interiors.
There are numerous reasons to choose our AIREX® and BALTEK® core materials for sandwich applications in the marine segment. They offer high strength and rigidity at low weight, exceptional impact resistance and damage tolerance, excellent fatigue, and long-term stability, which leads to fuel savings and increased payload due to weight savings. Our material solutions can easily optimize product and total cost for virtually any marine application. Furthermore, we strongly support modern boat builders who think 'green,' are environmentally conscious, interested in sustainably produced and recyclable core materials for their innovative marine components and structures.
Some of our partners love to take BALTEK® balsa wood for ship construction! It's a core material with excellent product performance and made from balsa wood grown on our FSC®-certified plantations; with BALTEK® SBC, the world's first carbon-neutral core material, sequestering more greenhouse gas (GHG) than those emitted during its manufacturing process.
On the other side, some of them prefer lightweight sandwich components made with AIREX® PET foams because they are cost-effective too and easier to process. With exceptional compression strength, better shear modulus, and outstanding fatigue resistance properties, choosing finishing options like our FlexiCut adds manufacturing flexibility to all PET products.
Finally, there are those who combine the best of both brands in their boat series. In that way, they get high-quality and environmentally responsible products in one place, both well-supplied thanks to global availability and professional technical support from our technical teams worldwide. Count on us to make your next boat trip enjoyable, safe, and memorable!
