Surface Protection at Sea: Why Boat Builders Rely on Protectapeel

Building boats and yachts is a meticulous process where every surface must remain flawless. From delicate glass windows to pre-painted panels, even the smallest mark can lead to costly rework. During manufacture, there are countless risks such as weld spatter, grinding sparks, dust, rust and general site activity. Protectapeel provides a durable, peelable coating that can be applied directly to glass, metal and other surfaces, creating a protective barrier that protects against these hazards.

The coating offers outstanding resistance to weld spatter, varying temperatures, UV exposure, weathering and corrosion. Once applied, it remains firmly in place to protect vulnerable areas throughout the build. When the time comes to fabricate the sections together, Protectapeel can simply be peeled away, leaving the surface underneath in pristine condition.

There is no residue left behind, meaning pre-painted finishes remain untouched, while any surfaces still requiring paint are immediately ready without the need for further cleaning.

Protection doesn’t stop once the vessel is complete. Many boats and yachts spend long periods in storage or transit before they are handed over to their owners. Environmental factors such as harsh sunlight, unpredictable weather and airborne contaminants can all damage exposed surfaces. With Protectapeel in place, those same areas remain protected for up to twelve months, significantly reducing the risk of expensive repairs or refinishing before delivery.

For yacht and boat builders, Protectapeel offers peace of mind. It combines ease of use with long-lasting durability, ensuring that surfaces remain safe and unspoiled from the very first stage of manufacture right through to storage and transportation. By protecting every detail, Protectapeel helps builders deliver vessels that look exactly as they should: flawless, professional and ready to set sail.
