Weather and the elements are just some of the battles your marine vessel will face daily. That's why finding quality, durable, and reliable boating and marine parts is crucial. Our hardware comes finished with a corrosion-resistant electro-polish, a must-have in the marine industry.
What exactly does that mean?
First, to achieve this process, the outer layer of the metal is dissolved to remove surface contaminants that may lead to faster corrosion. This process creates a durable, long-lasting product. Next, our engineering team tests our products in different situations to ensure durability and quality. The entire process ensures quality and reliability, a guarantee we stand by.
ECK
Eck is a corrosion barrier that prevents corrosion from the contact of dissimilar metals (such as steel and aluminum). Eck is a coating formulated to prevent corrosion of all kinds of metals. It has three vital jobs in the protection of dissimilar metals. Primarily, it creates a barrier between metals, seals out moisture, and absorbs natural corrosive energy caused by dissimilar metals.
Eck is petroleum-based, dielectric (for use with lighting/wiring), and Zinc-rich, preventing dissimilar metal corrosion, galvanic corrosion, magnesium chloride corrosion, calcium chloride corrosion, rust, and hardware/fastener seizing.
The product comes in handy squeeze tubes, aerosol, and quart cans. Thousands of laboratory testing hours and numerous world-class manufacturers prove that Eck is the superior coating for preventing the corrosion of dissimilar metals.
