Benefits of Ceramic Coatings
Salt Water Protection
Harsh conditions of the underwater environment are a well known issue. Our product offers protection against the corrosion created by salt water and the fouling on the hull caused by the accumulation of algae, etc.
UV and Oxidation Protection
If a boat is often exposed to the sun, it’s gelcoat will begin to oxidize. A layer of ceramic coating protects from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, thereby reducing the amount of oxidation.
Easy cleanup and maintenance
One of the most significant features of CeramTek is that it is hydrophobic which is a fancy way of saying it repels water. When a boat has a hydrophobic ceramic coating water will bead on the surface and slide off more easily. This super slick, protective layer allows bird droppings, fish blood, oil, dirt and debris to be easily washed off your boat’s surface.
Adds layer of hardness above 9H
9H stands for a hardness scale of 9 on the ‘pencil’ hardness scale. A common test used to test the strength of coatings, ceramic coating has a score of 9. Hence the name of Velocity 09 for 9 hardness.
Enhanced gloss & color depth
Your boat will be glossier and more beautiful than the day you bought it. The results are truly amazing, check out the photos below of some of the boats we’ve coated!
Protect your props
Protecting your props is challenging. So many variables cause headaches for boat owners as they are constantly looking for the right solution.
Fuel Friendly
The most unique function of ceramic coating is the ability to reduce drag when applied to the hull bottom and prop. Proven in the manufacturer industry, this coating reduces surface tensions creating higher speeds at cruising RPM’s.
About CeramTek Ceramic Coatings
CeramTek ceramic coating is a liquid polymer we apply by hand to the exterior of your boat. It offers protection for both underwater and above water. With the use of advanced nano-technology CeramTek delivers a product that will improve your boats performance while protecting it from the elements.
The coating chemically bonds with the boat’s gelcoat creating a completely transparent layer of protection. It can be applied in multiple layers allowing a thicker/harder layer of protection.
Ceramic coating is clear and non-yellowing. When cured, it transforms into a rigid, super slick glass shield. CeramTek forms a permanent bond with the surface, it will not wash off or break down and can only be removed by abrasion. It removes the need for waxes or other products and lasts up to 5 years with minimal maintenance!
CeramTek reduces the surface tension of the gelcoat preventing algae from planting roots into the boat’s very porous finish making growth very easy to remove. After application, the surface becomes very hydrophobic which allows you to simply hose off the boat while rinsing away the salt, dirt or fish blood from the surface.
The biggest difference between waxes and CeramTek is the amount of protection that our product provides. Waxes might look great for a few weeks but waxed boats require constant maintenance and reapplication to keep the boat looking good. Additionally, if the wax is improperly applied it can contribute to scratching and swirling by using poor technique, dirty or damaged equipment.
Although waxes cost much less than ceramic coatings you get what you pay for! If you’ve ever waxed a boat before, you are well aware of the time and energy that’s involved and constant upkeep required. With Ceramic Coatings you get a long lasting protective cover that makes boat maintenance easier and more rewarding.
Keeping your boat looking it’s best can be an uphill battle.The marine environment is unforgiving but CeramTek ceramic coating will protect your investment and keep your boat looking brand new!
