ANTI-OSMOSIS TREATMENT FOR BOATS

At Reparación Barcos Benalmádena, we offer specialized anti-osmosis treatment services to protect and maintain your vessel’s integrity. Osmosis is a common issue in fiberglass hulls, caused by water absorption that can lead to blistering and long-term structural damage. Our anti-osmosis treatment is the ideal solution to prevent and repair this damage, ensuring your boat remains in top condition.

Osmosis is a process where water penetrates the fiberglass hull, reacting with internal components and forming acetic acid. This can lead to blistering on the hull’s surface, weakening the structure, and compromising the boat’s safety and performance.

• Comprehensive Diagnosis: We conduct a thorough inspection of the hull to identify signs of osmosis and determine the extent of the damage.
• Gelcoat Stripping: We remove the damaged gelcoat and areas affected by osmosis using advanced techniques, ensuring a clean surface ready for treatment.
• Drying and Dehumidification: We completely dry the hull using dehumidification methods to eliminate any residual moisture.
• Epoxy Barrier Application: We apply multiple layers of a high-quality epoxy barrier that acts as a waterproof shield, preventing future water penetration.
• Sanding and Finishing: We sand and smooth the treated surface to ensure a uniform and aesthetic finish.
• Antifouling Application: Finally, we apply a layer of antifouling paint to protect the hull against marine organism growth and enhance the boat’s performance.
