Sails are one of the most sensitive components of a boat. Mechanical loads (manoeuvres, strong winds) and environmental influences (water, salt) are a major factor for all canvas, foils and laminates.
Sail & Kite coating is a two-component canvas coating based on the chemical nanotechnology. The optically neutral coating extends the life, increases the performance and simplifies the handling.
Sail & Kite coating is an effective shield against water, dirt and weather. The surface gets extremely slidable, reducing friction and facilitating handling of large fabric layers. Fast drying reduces the growth of mildew and mold formation.
Sail & Kite Coating thus significantly increases the life of the fabric.
Benefits:
Improve the gliding behaviour (trimming, setting and recovery of sails, fock or spinnaker)
Significant reduction of friction in the mast groove and profile guard
Strong waterproofing effect, very high water and dirt repellency
Up to 65% lighter sails through reduced water absorption
Up to 65% faster drying time
Reduction of mold and stain formation
Optimizing the aerodynamic properties
Increase the breaking load of sail cloths without increasing the fabric weight
Improving the look by smoothing the sails
Extremely high durability
Resistant to cleaning chemicals
Highly concentrated -> high yield
Water-based -> solvent free -> free of biocides
Non-combustible -> no hazardous material
Easy application
Areas of application:
Spinnaker, jib and mainsail, furling sails, kites etc...
Waterproof coating for tarpaulin, tents, pavillions, sun sails or awnings
We recommend Sail & Kite Impregnation for fabrics that can not be rolled out and treated with Sail & Kite Coating (sprayhood, protective roofs, convertible top, sun shade, backpack, sailing-clothing, shoes, boat pillows, etc.)
