Material Composition | Marine environments exposed to UV/saltwater | Industry Standard: Nitrile (-20°C to 100°C, ASTM D2000) Our Base: EPDM (-30°C to 120°C, ASTM D471) Our Advanced: Reinforced EPDM (-40°C to 150°C, ASTM D471 + ISO 1817) | ▲ Base: Resists UV degradation 2x longer than Nitrile. ▲▲ Advanced: Withstands extreme Arctic/tropical temperatures. | Advanced materials increase cost by 30%. |
Certifications | Commercial marine applications | Industry Standard: ISO 9001 Our Base: WRAS (potable water), RoHS Our Advanced: WRAS, RoHS, ISO 14001 (environmental), SGS (safety) | ▲ Base: Meets UK/EU water safety standards. ▲▲ Advanced: Opens access to regulated markets (e.g., EU marine industry). | Advanced certifications add 2 weeks to production time. |
Noise Reduction (dB) | Passenger cabins needing quiet environments | Industry Standard: 35 dBA (comparable to a quiet library) Our Base: 30 dBA ▲ (quieter than a whisper) Our Advanced: 25 dBA ▲▲ (similar to a calm office) | ▲▲ Advanced: Reduces cabin noise by 40% vs. industry standard. | Advanced seals may require 10% more installation space. |
Chemical Resistance | Engine rooms with fuel/oil exposure | Industry Standard: Withstands 10 chemicals (ASTM D543) Our Base: 20+ chemicals ▲ (e.g., diesel, lubricants) Our Advanced: 30+ chemicals ▲▲ (harsh solvents, acids) | ▲▲ Advanced: Prevents degradation from 30+ chemicals, extending seal lifespan. | Advanced materials may lose 10% flexibility in cold temps. |
Temperature Range (°C) | Arctic/tropical voyages | Industry Standard: -20°C to 100°C Our Base: -30°C to 120°C ▲ (survives -30°C frost) Our Advanced: -40°C to 150°C ▲▲ (withstands engine exhaust heat) | ▲▲ Advanced: Operates in extreme climates without hardening/melting. | Advanced seals expand 5% more at high temps, requiring precise fitting. |
Customization | Custom boat builds/retrofits | Industry Standard: Standard sizes only Our Base: Custom moulding ▲ (e.g., curved window frames) Our Advanced: Rapid prototyping + complex geometries ▲▲ (e.g., irregular hull shapes) | ▲▲ Advanced: Delivers seamless fits for unique designs, reducing leakage risks. | Custom orders take 2–3 weeks longer than standard products. |
