Modified HDPE1. Super buoyancy – lighter then water
HDPE is a multi-talented material. Its density can range from 930 to 970 kg/m3. That makes HDPE lighter than water. And that makes HDPE extremely buoyant, even when submerged.
2. Zero corrosion – zero maintenance
Oxygen, salt and water have no effect on HDPE.
3. Resistance to marine growth – no anti fouling needed
With an HDPE hull you will never have to deal with marine growth: it just doesn’t stick.
4. Aggressive liquids? No harm done
HDPE can hardly be affected by any aggressive liquids.
5. High impact resistance – not afraid of sharp rocks
RIB tubes are quickly damaged when bumping into a sharp rock or rampart. HDPE is both tough
and flexible. A strong HDPE hull is perfect if you work close to the shore.
6. UV resistancy
7. Production flexibility
Our HDPE boats are constructed by plate welding, giving great flexibility in creating a boat shaped exactly to your needs. This includes the installation of additional components like benches and
storage compartments. Need adjustments in lay-out? Easy as pie with HDPE.
8. Easy to repair
What if you need to repair something on your HDPE boat? Any local plastic production company
can do it for you. Or DIY – ask us for your own welding kit.
9. Low carbon footprint
The carbon footprint of HDPE production is 5 times lower than aluminium. And HDPE boat is indestructible, so will stay with you for 10, 20, 30, 40 years.
10. Durability: 100% recyclable
GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and Aluminum Alloy boats have a limited lifespan and are impossible
to recycle.HDPE can be 100% remelted and recycled in a new PE blend.
