Barrier Coats

Barrier Coat Paint

Any boating novice will know that a boat and its trustworthiness depend largely upon the integrity of the hull. After all, if the hull suffers damage, the boat will no longer stay afloat. The hull takes the brunt of the battering and bruising from waves and water resistance. On the trailer, at the dock, or gliding through the water, the hull needs a strong protective coat to keep it solid and in prime condition. At Wholesale Marine, you’ll find a great selection of top quality barrier coat paints for your boat’s hull, including Pettit and Interlux.

Protection You Can Trust

While afloat in freshwater or saltwater, the bottom of your vessel is exposed to a wide range of elements that will cause damage if your hull is unprotected. Corrosion, osmotic blistering, and water absorption can occur if your hull is not completely watertight. The good news is that you can protect your craft by applying barrier coat paints. Also, epoxy barrier coats make fantastic primers for antifouling paints. Due to their epoxy base, other paints will adhere well to them, thereby eliminating the need for a primer coat. One less step means more time out on the water!

Save time and money with Pettit Protect’s high-solids formula that allows for a quicker and easier application of the barrier coat. This epoxy barrier coat paint reduces water absorption in fiberglass hulls, making it an excellent choice for the prevention and repair of osmotic blisters. It is ideally suited for commercial and pleasure craft applications and has excellent durability. AlumaProtect is specifically designed for Aluminum crafts and is similar to Pettit Protect; it is intended to be used as a primary coat over bare aluminum hulls and outdrives.

Eliminate the need for sanding with the Interlux InterProtect line. Interlux barrier coat paints also offer superior protection against corrosion and water blistering. When looking for a great epoxy barrier coat paint, you’ll appreciate that Interlux Interprotect is a unique two-part coating, and is excellent for usage on underwater hulls, metals, and keels. Interlux barrier coat paints were developed to protect new and used fiberglass hulls from water absorption, and corrosion above or below the waterline.
