Industry Application
Marine and Offshore
Vessels offshore platforms shipyards and harbours where salt spray and fire performance both apply
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
Salt Destroys Anything That Is Not Formulated for It
Continuous salt exposure plus UV plus humidity attacks polymers that perform perfectly on land.
Classification Society Rules Govern Material Choice
CCS ABS and DNV requirements are not optional and a material without the right approval will not be accepted at survey.
Deck and Crane Cable Takes Continuous Mechanical Abuse
Reeling festoon and shore power cable is dragged crushed and flexed every working day.
Repairs Happen at Sea or Quayside Not in a Workshop
Whatever the crew has on board has to work in the conditions that exist at the time.
Customer Requirements
What Buyers in This Sector Actually Need
- Flame retardant grades formulated for wet and salt laden service
- Heavy wall options for the mechanically hostile positions
- Classification society approvals available for the survey file
- Repair products that work on an installed cable with terminations in place
- Sealed cable ends that survive long storage in a salt environment
