Ceramic coatings that outlast the salt

Corrosion-resistant ceramic for engines, exhausts and fittings: built for metal that spends its life in salt water.

Straight advice and precise work: the right coating for the part, every time.

A vessel at sea in a saltwater environment

Salt water is relentless. Spray, damp and hot-cold cycling work at every exposed part until rust and pitting set in, and a seized fitting offshore is nobody’s idea of a good day. A ceramic film stands between the metal and the salt, sheds water instead of holding it, and manages heat, so engines, exhausts and fittings keep going far longer between services.

What we coat

From the engine room to the deck hardware, we coat the parts that never get a break from salt, heat and damp.

The harsh saltwater environment marine parts must survive
Engines & exhaust components
High-temperature ceramic manages heat and guards against salt-driven corrosion, so hard-working parts last longer between services.
Pumps & cooling parts
Protection against rust and wear where saltwater and heat meet, for more reliable running.
Shafts, brackets & metal fittings
Durable, corrosion-resistant finishes for the metal parts most exposed to spray and damp.
Deck & trailer hardware
Tough coatings that hold up to constant moisture and the abrasion of a working marine environment.

Frequently asked questions

Will a coating stop saltwater corrosion?
A ceramic coating adds a tough, corrosion-resistant barrier that dramatically slows the rust and pitting saltwater causes. No coating makes metal indestructible, but the right one, properly applied, extends the life of parts that would otherwise corrode quickly.
Is this the same as marine paint or antifouling?
No. We apply engineered ceramic coatings that manage heat and resist corrosion on metal components: protection a paint or antifouling layer is not designed to provide. We are not painters or antifouling applicators.
What marine parts can you coat?
Engines, exhausts, manifolds, pumps, shafts, brackets and other metal hardware, on both recreational and commercial craft. Tell us the part and the conditions it faces and we will recommend the right coating.
Can you coat stainless steel or aluminium marine parts?
Often, yes. Suitability depends on the grade of metal, the surface condition, the working temperature and the exposure. Stainless and aluminium can still stain, pit or corrode in a marine environment, so a coating can be worth it where the part is vulnerable.
Does every part need ceramic?
No. Hot and heavily exposed parts benefit most from high-temperature ceramic. For parts that do not face extreme heat, we apply a premium durable finish instead. We match the coating to the application, so a part is never over-specified.
