Bullet Liner Exhibits at the IBEX Boat Show

Bullet Liner, the leading manufacturer and supplier of premium polyurea spray-on coating technology, exhibited last week at the 2024 International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Tampa, Fla. Despite the devastation of Hurricane Helene in the Southeastern region of the U.S., the industry’s leading boat builders’ expo continued as planned.

Bullet Liner’s advanced line of protective coatings plays a measurable role in helping boat owners and operators in the boating space to better protect their marine vessel and aquatic equipment—to both operate more effectively and preserve boats’ aesthetic good looks in the harbor and on the open water. Bullet Liner technology offers added durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh marine environments.

Here are just several of the common uses of polyurea coatings for boat protection, repair and customization:

Anti-Corrosion Coating: Spray-on polyurea can effectively be used on marine equipment including anchors, chains, winches, propeller shafts, and other metal parts to safeguard against the damaging effects of rust and corrosion. The polyurea coating forms a strong barrier that prevents saltwater and moisture from corroding the hull, especially for metal boats and vessels that are regularly exposed to seawater. Boat decks, siding, and engines are all vulnerable to constant exposure to saltwater, which can denigrate a vessel’s appearance and operational viability.

Deck Surface Protection and Safety: Bullet Liner’s “no slip” grip-tight spray-on coatings offer added texture for improved footing. Application of polyurea protectant can help to prevent dangerous falls and other hazards while the deck surface is wet or misty. It also provides essential waterproofing support to better eliminate rotting, rust and unwanted peeling. 

Leak Aversion: Spray-on elastomer and polyurea technology can also be used to seal bilges and under-deck areas to guard against leaks and further help to prevent water from seeping into unwanted areas (which can further mold development and other issues). 

Exterior Paint and Surface Preservation:In addition to protecting surface areas from peeling, cracking and bubbling, the use of protective polyurea coatings can also help to preserve the color integrity and vibrancy of boat exteriors. Spray-on coating guards against UV damage, especially for areas of the boat that are directly exposed to damaging sunlight and excessive heat. This is particularly relevant for uncovered vessels stored for long-periods in the harbor.

Hull Protection: Bullet Liner protective coating can also be applied to boat hulls to protect against the impact from protruding items (such as sharp rocks, debris and dock area obstruction) and also against damaging scratches, dents and gouges.

Boat Trailers: Polyurea coatings can also be used on boat trailers to safeguard metal frames and reduce rust and corrosion caused by exposure to saltwater spray during launching and transport.

Boat Docks and Piers:Polyurea is also frequently used on boat docks, piers, and floating platforms to prevent water damage, corrosion, and abrasion. Its waterproofing properties make it ideal for outdoor applications where it will face constant exposure to the elements.

The Many Benefits of Polyurea Coatings in Marine Applications

Bullet Liner’s premier technology is both affordable and offers boat builders, customizers, and repair operatives a flexible and fast-curing solution that can withstand the expansion and contraction of the boat’s materials without cracking and other damage. Our extensively tested, formulations offer an excellent safeguard against harsh marine environments, as well as excessive exposure to physical impacts incurred in transit and saltwater damage to boat exteriors.

Bullet Liner was pleased to participate in last week’s IBEX and demonstrate the many versatile applications for protecting boats and marine equipment against the demanding conditions of the marine environment. Our proven and pioneering spray-on coating solutions provide a long-lasting way to maintain equipment performance and prolong the lifespan of your valuable boating investments.
