Share:

Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS Ess&re represents a turning point in marine polyurethane clear coat technology, providing a concrete response to the growing need to combine environmental sustainability with high-level technical performance.

This 2-component sustainable marine clear coat is not merely a product innovation, but a clear expression of Stoppani’s strategy toward a more responsible future for the marine industry.

Included in the Isofan Marine 2025 range, SKY Clear Ess&re positions itself as an ideal solution for projects with stringent environmental requirements and large surface areas, offering an optimal balance between sustainability, aesthetic performance, and economic advantage. For the contemporary marine market, it represents an advanced and conscious technical choice among today’s sustainable yacht finishing solutions.

Technical details

The formulation of SKY Clear Ess&re incorporates 30% raw materials from renewable sources, significantly reducing the use of fossil-based resources. With a VOC content of 420 g/l, this low VOC marine coating allows for an approximate 30% reduction in volatile emissions, offering a substantial advantage both environmentally and operationally, particularly in large-area applications or confined spaces.

Comparative analyses based on real application cycles also indicate a reduction in carbon footprint of up to 40% compared to conventional clear coats, making the product especially attractive for shipyards and owners attentive to ESG criteria and seeking eco friendly yacht coatings.

From a technical standpoint, SKY Clear Ess&re delivers a film build of 50–70 μm per coat and a coverage rate of 8.3 sq.m/l, exceeding standard market benchmarks. The high solid content ensures full-bodied, glossy surfaces with long-term stability, free from sink-back phenomena.

The 2:1 mixing ratio simplifies preparation, while the extended open time promotes excellent overspray acceptance, reducing the risk of defects in complex and multi-operator applications. Rapid curing enables efficient production cycles, improving overall shipyard productivity.

By combining sustainability, durability and advanced performance, this sustainable marine clear coat represents a new generation of eco friendly yacht coatings designed to meet the evolving environmental and technical expectations of the marine industry.
