How ceramic coating protects boats from ceramic coating
Boats are exposed to tough environments including saltwater, ultraviolet rays (UV rays), moisture, and the constant action of waves. These conditions have a detrimental impact on the gelcoat over time, resulting in a dull surface that is difficult to clean. An advantage of ceramic coating is that it is not wax, which will wash off over time, but rather a durable and protective coating that will protect while providing longevity from everyday damage.
The best part is that it bonds with the gelcoat creating that sleek, hydrophobic coating and this makes it easier to maintain as dirt or even salt deposits and grime cannot quite stick as firmly. Many owners, after the first application, will tell you that rinsing is "almost easy." The Sea-Shield marine ceramic coating line is designed just for boats to achieve a high gloss concentrate with a great deal of resistance to oxidation.
Primary Advantages of Ceramic Coating for Boats:
Improved UV protection – Safeguards against fading and oxidation from extended sun exposure.
Hydrophobic – Water and foreign materials slide off rather than sticking.
Long-lasting shine – Holds deeper gloss better than regular wax.
Less cleaning time – Fewer scrubs needed, especially after a long trip.
Saltwater resistant – Helps to maintain hull protection from salt build-up and stains.
Ceramic coatings, especially from Sea-Shield’s ceramic coating collection, are formulated to endure harsh marine environments. When cared for, one application will last months, even years, with little more than an occasional wash giving you more time enjoying the boat while maintaining a newer, cleaner appearance.
