FAQ:
What certifications does this aluminum plate have for marine applications?
The 5052 aluminum plate is DNV-GL and ABS certified, and fully meets SOLAS, HSC Code and USCG 160.135 requirements for lifeboat construction.
How does the PVDF coating perform in harsh marine environments?
The Kynar 500® PVDF coating provides 4500-hour salt-spray resistance and comes with a 40-year color and gloss warranty, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion and fading.
What are the weight savings compared to traditional materials?
Using 2.5mm aluminum instead of 5mm steel reduces lifeboat weight by approximately 70%, saving about 1.8 tons per boat while maintaining structural integrity.
Can this material be customized for specific project requirements?
Yes, we offer custom widths from 800-2600mm, various tempers (O, H12, H14, H16, H18, H24, H26, H32, H34), and colors according to RAL or Pantone standards.
