Aluminum Alloy 5052 Aluminum Plate for Lifeboat Sides (2.5 mm | 1500 mm Width | PVDF Anti-Oxidation Coating)

Introduction

The 5052 PVDF anti-oxidation coated aluminum plate (2.5 mm thickness, 1500 mm standard width, 35 μm marine-grade PVDF coating) is the world’s most trusted material for ultra-safe, zero-maintenance lifeboat side shells.

• Alloy 5052-H32: 2.5 % Mg → 35 % stronger than 5086, DNV-GL & ABS certified.

• Kynar 500® PVDF: 4500 h salt-spray, 40-year colour & gloss warranty.

• 1500 mm width + EDF surface: perfect for roll-bending into lifeboat half-shells.
  Result: lifeboats that survive 40 years in open-ocean abandonment, reduce weight 70 %, and fully meet SOLAS, HSC Code and USCG 160.135 requirements.
