Marine Environmental Resistance

  • Salt spray / salt fog
  • Saltwater immersion
  • UV / weathering
  • Heat aging
  • Freeze/thaw cycling
  • Humidity
  • Thermal cycling
  • Continuous water immersion

Includes a combined UV + saltwater + heat adhesion test, rather than scoring each exposure separately.

Chemical Resistance

Exposed To
  • Saltwater
  • Diesel
  • Gasoline
  • Engine oil
  • Hydraulic fluid
  • Sunscreen
  • Bird waste
  • Soap
  • Marine cleaners
  • Isopropyl alcohol
  • Bug / tar remover

Surface Durability

  • Abrasion resistance
  • Scratch resistance
  • Scuff resistance
  • Impact resistance
  • Puncture resistance
  • Sand abrasion
  • Rope / chafe abrasion

Appearance Retention

Measured before / after environmental testing
  • ΔE color change
  • Gloss retention
  • Haze
  • Orange peel
  • Surface texture
  • Yellowing
  • Cracking
  • Delamination

Reported as measurable numbers — e.g. Color Change ΔE < 1.0 after 1,000 hrs accelerated weathering — instead of a vague "excellent UV resistance" claim.
