Our Products
Our product range contains a wide range of Marine Grade Aluminium Sheet Metal and Aluminium Alloy Sheets / Coils with Moisture Barrier
This specification defines the properties and characteristics of marine grade aluminium alloy, delivered as sheets or plates by renowned european mills such as Alcoa Marine, Hydro & Elval.
Performance is as important in the yard as it is on the water. You want high performance, user-friendly materials that give you the freedom to express your vision. Structural efficiency. Unimpeachable quality. And genuine versatility. That's why so many of today's best performing vessels, large and small, are constructed from marine grade aluminium. The 5083 alloy provides the exceptional strength, workability and corrosion resistance that marine applications require, aluminium has been the material of choice for forward-looking designers wherever durability, economy of operation and construction, responsiveness or sheer speed are priorities. We stock Marine Grade Aluminium Alloy 5083 in the UAE.

Aluminium exhibits moderate strength and very good corrosion resistance which makes it an ideal metal to use for jacketing on mechanical insulation systems that are used on cold and hot pipes, tanks, ducts, vessels and equipment to conserve energy, prevent surface condensation, prevent contact burns and more. In most outdoor applications and some indoor locations, these systems use an outer protective metal jacketing to provide protection against UV, physical damage and water shedding.
Types of Moisture Barriers on Aluminium SheetThere are two types of moisture barriers used on metal jacketing in mechanical insulation systems; polykraft and polysurlyn that we provide.
Polykraft type moisture barrierPolykraft is a layer of kraft paper laminated to a single thin layer of polyethylene film. Polykraft consists of one layer polyethylene film with a protective layer of kraft paper. The moisture barrier is factory applied by attaching the jacketing by continuous lamination to the full width of the metal. Aluminium Jacketing equipped with Poly Kraft (Moisture Barrier) with anti corrosion and anti-galvanic properties.
Polysurlyn type moisture barrierPolysurlyn moisture barrier (PSMB) is a thick three layer film that is applied by laminating the film to the aluminium sheet by a process of heat and pressure. Polysurlyn Moisture Retarder provides an excellent resistance to moisture and has excellent abrasion resistance during installation. Polysurlyn is a high performance solution as it has no pinholes, is a multilayer film, has a very low water vapour transmission rate and a very low water absorption. Additionally, it is tough, scratch resistant and durable
