Why FRP works for boats
Load-specific laminate design
Glass fibres carry load within the cured resin. Their amount, orientation and placement let the builder tailor a laminate for the hull’s design loads without relying on a solid, heavy section.
Moulded hulls with marine gelcoats
Moulds reproduce hydrodynamic shapes consistently. A compatible marine resin and gelcoat system supports resistance to water exposure and a durable surface finish.
What to specify: Use the boatbuilder’s approved laminate design. Resin, reinforcement, core, bonding and gelcoat choices must account for immersion, impact, UV exposure and applicable marine requirements.
