Marine Aluminum Corrosion Protection Coat - ALUMETRON®

ALUMETRON® Fights Corrosion, Protects Aluminum and Keeps your Pontoons Clean and Shiny

ALUMETRON® is a new discovery from Aurora Marine Industries that pontoon boat owners have been waiting for. The biggest single complaint that pontoon owners have about their boats is the difficulty and drudgery of maintaining their pontoons. Most are impractical to haul out of the water after each use so they are traditionally left in the water all season long. Within a few weeks of launching them, the pontoons begin staining and corroding and by the end of the season they look more like rusty steel drums than the highly prized shiny silver look they had when the boat was new.

What is ALUMETRON®?

ALUMETRON® is a clear polymer coating that protects raw, anodized and cast aluminum against oxidation, tarnish, staining, corrosion, pitting, salt spray, road film, acid rain and environmental damage. It’s so tough that it will stand up to constant fresh and salt water immersion and still keep aluminum pontoons and boat hulls looking shiny and new all season long. It will protect trailered pontoons, fence rails, wakeboard and fishing towers, outriggers and sail rigging against corrosion and pitting for up to 5 years.

ALUMETRON® is unique because it bonds chemically as well as mechanically to aluminum, making it superior to any other aluminum coating. It’s water based and does not contain the many toxic chemicals and solvents associated with other coatings. It is not flammable or corrosive and is safe for the environment, the boat and the applicator. It’s easy to apply by wiping and inevitable scuffs and scratches can easily be retouched during the year. It seals the fissures in the aluminum making the surface less susceptible to attachment of dirt and marine growth. It even gives the aluminum a smooth silky feel which women appreciate when swimming near the boat.

When To Apply ALUMETRON®?

The ideal time to apply ALUMETRON® is when the boat is new, before the logs become corroded, but Aurora Marine makes a full line of products that easily cleans and restores abused pontoons. Now even older pontoons can be made to look new again. They also manufacture a clear, environment friendly, anti-fouling that can be applied over the ALUMETRON® which resists the attachment of marine growth.

Keeping your pontoons clean and shiny not only improves the value of your boat and enhances pride of ownership, but the reduced friction improves performance and reduces fuel consumption. ALUMETRON® might be one of the best investments you can make for your pontoon boat.

You Too Can Keep Your Pontoons Shiny & Clean for up to 10 Years:

The ideal time to apply ALUMETRON® and VS721® is when the boat is brand new.

Whether you're adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls or using glues and adhesives during a plumbing, carpentry or another DIY project, the last thing you want is to end up with a mess on your floors. Fortunately, you can keep things tidy simply by spreading out polyethylene sheeting or other plastic sheeting before you start your job. Ace Hardware makes it easy to stock up on plastic drop cloths with a wide range of products you can browse online and in stores.

Can You Reuse a Plastic Sheet?

One frequently asked question about colored and clear plastic sheeting is whether you can use it more than once. The answer depends on the nature of your project and the sheeting you purchase. Like drop cloths, heavier plastic sheets may be suitable for cleaning, folding up and reusing again and again. However, thinner plastic sheet products are often designed for single use and can’t be easily cleaned after your project is done.

Plastic Sheeting for Your Projects

When shopping for plastic sheets, considering the following features will help you select the best option for your specific project:

• Thickness: To compare product thicknesses, look at their mil ratings. The greater the number, the thicker the plastic. Plastic sheets that are 3 millimeters or less are light-duty and suitable for use as temporary floor protectors. Thicker 4-millimeter products can provide light weather protection, while plastic sheeting of 6 millimeters and up is the best choice for vapor barriers, moisture barriers and other heavy-duty applications.
• Dimensions: The size of the plastic sheeting will determine how much coverage it provides. Many products come in rolls, so you can cut them to suit your needs.
• Color: Clear plastic sheeting is an affordable, versatile solution, while black plastic sheeting absorbs UV. Other colors of floor protectors, such as green and brown, are available to suit your preferences and needs.
• Leakproof: Choose a leakproof sheeting product for water barriers and messy projects for extra protection.

Other Uses for Floor Protectors

Plastic sheeting is an excellent choice of floor protector for DIY projects, but it also has other uses. Many homeowners and gardeners find black plastic sheeting functions as a landscaping barrier to prevent unwanted growth while working well as a garden pond liner. Because it’s weatherproof and generally puncture-resistant, polyethylene plastic sheeting is also a practical cover for outdoor chopped firewood.
