Advantages of Thermoset Composites in the Marine Industry
  • Corrosion resistance: Resists saltwater, moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, making them ideal for harsh marine environments.  
  • Lightweight: Significantly lighter than metals like steel or aluminum, contributing to better fuel efficiency and easier handling. 
  • High strength-to-weight ratio: Offers excellent mechanical strength without adding excess weight.  
  • Fatigue resistance: Maintains structural integrity under cyclic loads, such as waves and vibrations.  
  • Thermal and resistance: Thermoset composites can withstand high temperatures and are often self-extinguishing.  
  • Low water absorption: Minimizes swelling, warping, or degradation over time.
  • Longevity and durability: Composites can withstand the harsh marine environment, maintaining their structural integrity for longer periods.
