When it comes to marine equipment, the choice of materials is crucial. On board boats, components are exposed to extreme conditions: salt, UV rays, constant humidity, and strong mechanical stress.
Plastic accessories are an ideal solution because they offer:
- lighter weight compared to traditional metals
- corrosion resistance in marine environments
- design versatility and easy customization
- excellent breaking load resistance
Why Plastic Accessories Are Essential in Boating
Sunlight can quickly deteriorate materials. 2M-Italia plastic accessories are made with specific polymers that retain their integrity and do not degrade over time.
Salt is one of the main enemies of nautical equipment. Our plastic components are designed to resist corrosion and maintain consistent performance even after years of use at sea.
Whether it’s a life jacket or a fastening system on board, safety is a top priority. That’s why our accessories undergo strict resistance and wear tests.
