Aluminum Alloy 5052 Aluminum Plate for Lifeboat Sides (2.5 mm | Custom Width | PVDF Anti-Oxidation Coating)

Introduction

The 5052 PVDF anti-oxidation coated aluminum plate (2.5 mm thickness, 1000–2200 mm custom width, 35 μm marine-grade PVDF coating) is the global lifeboat industry’s gold standard for ultra-safe, zero-maintenance hull sides.

• Alloy 5052-H32: 2.5 % Mg → 35 % stronger than 5086, DNV-GL & SOLAS certified.

• Automotive PVDF (Kynar 500®): 4000 h salt-spray, 40-year colour & gloss warranty.

• Custom width + laser-flatness: ready for CNC bending, welding or riveted construction.
  Result: lifeboat sides that survive 40 years in open-ocean abandonment, cut weight 70 %, and meet IMO LSA Code & HSC Code impact requirements.
