Pikatec Gelcoat Protection - BOAT 100ml

The product is intended for long-term protection of gelcoat, painted and plastic parts of ships. The package is enough for about 18 m2. Thanks to this protection, the maintenance of the gelcoat is very easy and your boat will last for a long time. One application will last you 1-2 years. This makes it much easier to prepare the boat for the season.

The product is directly intended for Gelcoat boats, but it is also suitable for painted surfaces of metal boats or plastic parts of boats. Whether it is the hull of the ship in the part above the waterline, or the surfaces directly on the ship, it is a very stressed part of the ship. Especially if the ship has colours other than white, the maintenance of such a surface is difficult. Factors such as salt, limescale, biological material, chemicals, grease or other compounds constantly act on the surface of the ship and, if not protected, they disrupt its structure and “glow“ inside. Of course, everything is amplified by the strong sun and UV radiation, which makes the surface fade, brittle and degrade. Eliminating the consequences of only one single season is then very laborious. The surface has to be polished and repaired again, which costs a lot of resources and effort.

PIKATEC Gelcoat protection protects against scratches, limescale, salt, biological material and minerals. A thin nanolayer of a special mixture of durable resin and extremely hard nanoparticles of silicon and zirconium creates a shield on the surface that protects the surface. Despite this protection, all factors can get to the protected surface, but the protection does not let them go, thanks to which the surface is not damaged. In addition, because the surface is perfectly smoothed, the adhesion of these compounds is much smaller and cleaning is much easier. Significant added value is then strong UV filters, which prevent fading and degradation of the surface.

Thanks to the long-term protection, which lasts 1-2 years, preparation for the season is much easier. The first year it is necessary to prepare the surface perfectly, which represents a certain effort, but it is comparable to the standard preparation of the boat for the season. However, for the next few years it is enough to just rinse the boat and in case the hydrophobic effect works, I' m done, or if the hydrophobic effect is already about 60% of it after application, we recommend applying the protective layer again. However, before this application, the preparation is very easy due to the fact that the surface is still protected and the new layer will only complement the old one.

Always apply to surfaces free of all impurities.
