Many boats are made of metal or at least have a considerable portion of metal in their structure. This wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the salinity of sea water which is known to corrode metals very rapidly.
A boat’s exposed metal surfaces are therefore
very vulnerable to corrosion by sea water and this creates a number of problems
for the boat owner. One problem is that prolonged corrosion gradually weakens
the strength of the boat’s structure. Corrosion also ruins the boat’s aesthetic
appearance by dulling its metal surfaces. Rusty streaks on the hull of a boat
certainly make for an eyesore.
Frequent
boat waxing can help to safeguard your boat from corrosion. All you need to do is
regularly apply a waterproof wax on all exposed metal parts. Waxing not only
provides a protective layer from salty water, it also makes the metal parts
more lustrous.
At SEA-SHIELD we have
developed an array of products that can be used for boat waxing. Don´t forget to check them out and for more details visit our website http://www.seashieldsystem.com/.
