If you are looking for a particular part for your marine project, our machine shops are fully equipped to both design and machine to your specific requirements. We have 4 specific products available that are well suited for the marine environment;

  • Boatboard - Boatboard is a special grade HDPE for use in marine environment. High density polyethylene with a special textured surface on both sides and excellent UV resistance.
  • Uniboard - Uniboard HDPE marine ply replacement materials are low weight, very low moisture absorption, high mechanical strength, chemical resistance.
  • Leisureboard - Leisureboard is a modified PE especially developed for applications in shapes and forms for the manufacture of innovative, colourful accessories and equipment for leisure and play related facilities.
  • Playboard - Playboard is a co-extruded polyethylene especially developed for applications where both simple and complex shapes with vibrant colours are required.

Each of these products is UV resistant and able to withstand the harsh Australian Environment. Our marine grade products are made from the highest quality polymers and have been manufactured in the US. Don't take the chance with inferior Asian imported plastic that may buckle and fade over time; your boat is worth more than that!
