High Density Polyethylene (H.D.P.E.) Extruded product that offers very good abrasion resistance and impact resistance. All manufacturers use a type that has ultra violet ray inhibitors added to the material. Because the polyethylene resin is colored throughout, surface color cannot be scratched off. |
 |
ABS Thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styreneplastic) Extruded product. Glossier finish than polyethylene. Can be formed to tighter radius. UV reistant and can be repaired with fiberglass resin. Less brittle than fiberglass, more rigid that polyethylene. Very nice look and impact resistant. |
 |
Ram-X Extruded product. Developed in 1978, it's known for it's impact resistance and memory capacity (to regain original shape after impact). UV inhibitors are throughout material. |
 |
Ram-XX Exclusive to more demanding boats, Ram-XX has two layers of Ram-X bonded together during the extrusion process and offers even more resistance to impact and color fading than Ram-X. Provides a totally maintenance free hull and deck with a great finish. |
 |
Fiberglass Generally lighter weight than the ABS and HDPE however brittle. Excellent finish. Multi-layer hand laid process beginning with a layer of gelcoat(paint), covered by layers of resin saturated cloth that may be woved mat or chopped fibers. May have reinforcing material such as plywood added for stiffness or support. Ability to form very fine lines, literally down to a knife-sharp entry if desired. UV inhibitors are in the gelcoat(paint). |
|
Superlinear polyethylene Very rigged rotomolded product. |
Crosslinked polyethylene Firmer, more brittle than superlinear. |
 |
Superlink3™ A layer of closed cell foam surrounded by layers of crosslinked and high-density polyethylene. Starts out as tiny plastic granules, introduced in sequence into a mold. The mold is mechanically rotated and rocked in a series of pre-set directions and heated in a high-temperature oven. The foam core provides high inherent buoyancy and insulation from cold and noise. High ultra-violet light resistance. |
 |
Polylink3™ A foam core sandwiched by linear polyethylene. Stiffer than single layer polyethylene with keelson. Roto-molded process. The foam core provides exceptional stiffness, built-in flotation and insulation from cold and noise. |
|
Royalex®  |
|
| High impact and abrasion resistance. High structural memory and resilience. A multi-laminate composed of ABS, ABS foam, and crosslinked vinyl. Starts out as a flat sheet, during heating, the core expands forming closed-cell flotation. An Oltonar Royalex hull can be folded in half and then return to its normal shape with minimum hull distortion. | |
