Market Segment – Marine
Boat manufacturers of all types are looking for new ways to reduce owner maintenance concerns and replace fiberglass parts with higher performing plastics and Spartech is leading this transformation with a line of innovative alloy sheet products for the marine market. Our commitment to this industry has earned us partnerships with many of the world's leading boat manufacturers including Bayliner, Wellcraft, and Stratos.Working with these manufactures, we have created plastic sheet products that can be used in the thermoforming process to provide:
- Weight and gauge reduction versus fiberglass and the roto-molding process.
- Faster production cycles (up to 6 times faster than fiberglass construction and 2-3 times faster than roto-molding).
- Lower tooling and maintenance costs.
- The elimination of environmental concerns related to fiberglass.
- Improved UV performance and color retention versus fiberglass and HDPE.
- Improved surface aesthetics and color ability especially in our ability to achieve excellent depth of image as well as innovative metallic and high-chroma colors.
