How to choose a ceramic coating for your boat
Salt spray, strong UV and constant water contact break down wax and polish within weeks. IGL Marine Solutions is a range of ceramic coatings and cleaners made for boats and yachts, formulated and produced by IGL Coatings in Malaysia under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system. Each coating is made for one surface, so most boats use two or three of them. The table shows which product goes where.
| Surface | Coating | What it does | Key spec |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gelcoat and painted hull, topsides and deck (above the waterline) | Marine Coating | Hard, glossy ceramic layer that resists UV, salt and stains | 10H pencil hardness*, up to 2 years |
| Windows, windscreens and glass | Glass Guard | Water beads and runs off for a clearer view in rain and spray | Water contact angle above 120° |
| Teak and other wood | Teak Guard | Soaks in and repels water and oil without changing the wood's look | Water-based, invisible finish |
| Canvas, cushions, covers and suede | Fabric Guard | Repels water, oil and stains; fabric stays breathable | Water-based, nearly VOC-free |
| Leather, vinyl and PVC seats | Leather Guard | Resists UV fading, stains and dye transfer | Natural and synthetic leather |
*Pencil hardness measured with Mitsubishi Hi-Uni pencils. Durability depends on sun exposure, how often the boat is in salt water and how it is washed.
Marine Coating: protection for gelcoat and paint
Marine Coating bonds to gelcoat and to alkyd, acrylic, polyurethane and epoxy marine paints. It goes on in two thin layers, tolerates cleaners from pH 1 to 14, and once fully cured is rated to withstand at least 500 hours of salt spray testing. It is REACH compliant and free from lead and zinc oxide. Apply it above the waterline only: it is a protective coating, not an antifouling.
Prepare, protect, maintain
A coating lasts only as long as its bond to the surface, so preparation matters most. Prepare products clean the boat first: Boat Shampoo for the wash, Erase for hard-water and salt stains on fibreglass and gelcoat, Intense for oil, fuel and fish blood, Banish for mould and mildew, and Prep to remove polish residue just before coating. Spot Free and Clarity do the same job for glass. Protect is the coatings in the table above. To maintain the boat, wash regularly with Boat Shampoo and use Deodoriser to remove odours in cabins and lockers.
Frequently asked questions
Can you ceramic coat a boat below the waterline?
We recommend Marine Coating above the waterline only. Hulls that stay in the water need a dedicated antifouling paint.
How long does a ceramic coating last on a boat?
Marine Coating lasts up to 2 years. Boats that sit in strong sun or stay moored in salt water may need a refresh sooner. Rinsing off salt after each trip and washing with a pH-neutral shampoo help it last.
Is a ceramic coating better than wax for a boat?
Wax sits on top of the surface and needs reapplying often. A ceramic coating bonds chemically to the gelcoat or paint, forming a harder layer that resists UV, salt and harsh cleaners for far longer.
Does ceramic coating work on gelcoat?
Yes. Marine Coating is made for gelcoat and for alkyd, acrylic, polyurethane and epoxy marine paints. Older gelcoat should be polished first to remove oxidation, so the coating bonds to a sound surface.
