Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS ess&re: technical efficiency and environmental responsibility

Share:

In today’s context, the choice of sustainable technical solutions is no longer a preference but a necessity. Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS ess&re fits perfectly into this vision, representing one of the most advanced developments in the field of two-component polyurethane clear coats for the marine sector.

As part of the new generation of marine coatings, this product combines outstanding technical performance with an optimized environmental profile, thanks to the use of renewable raw materials and a low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Future-oriented low-impact composition

One of the key distinguishing features of Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS ess&re is its bio-based formulation: 30% of the raw materials used come from renewable sources certified according to ASTM D6866 standards.

This approach significantly reduces reliance on fossil resources and lowers total CO₂ emissions by up to 44% compared to equivalent products made entirely from petrochemical derivatives.

The VOC content, at 420 g/l, is considerably lower than comparable medium solids products, ensuring a reduced environmental impact and increased operator safety, in compliance with current emission regulations. This makes it a benchmark in the field of low VOC polyurethane solutions for the nautical industry.

Uncompromised performance

Despite its high content of bio-based components, SKY Clear UHS ess&re meets top-tier technical standards:

• Ease of application: specifically formulated for effortless application even on large surfaces, streamlining work both in shipyards and workshops.
• Optimal film build: a single coat achieves a film thickness between 50 and 70 μm, resulting in a full and uniform surface appearance.
• Fast drying and excellent curing: reduced process times combined with high final hardness make this product ideal for efficient and durable production cycles.
• Superior aesthetics: the high solids clear finish delivers a brilliant, deep, and long-lasting appearance that enhances the treated surfaces.

A technological and responsible choice

Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS ess&re is the ideal solution for those seeking a high performance clear coat without compromising environmental objectives. It is especially suitable where aesthetics, durability, and sustainability must coexist in a practical balance.

Thanks to its combination of advanced technology and eco-friendly paint formulation, Isofan Marine SKY Clear UHS ess&re stands as a benchmark in the sustainable yacht refit and marine coating sector. A responsible choice, looking to the future without sacrificing present-day quality and efficiency.
