Performance Against the Elements

Vycom, a world leader in Olefin and PVC solutions for a quarter of a century, features Seaboard™, a family of products for marine, RV and outdoor applications. Vycom’s Sea - board family provides superior performance in outdoor environments where water, UV exposure and other harsh elements are present. Unlike wood or metal alternatives, Seaboard products will not rust, corrode, rot, delaminate or splinter.

The products designed to replace wood or metal for marine and RV applications include Seaboard PVC, HDPE, HDPE Lite, Supreme DS, Grip-X and Utility. The materials can be used in a wide range of applications including as a wood replacement for cabinetry, consoles, instrument panels, marine seat backs and bottoms and shutters, furniture, hatches, covers signage and recreational areas.

Seaboard Supreme DS is a specially formulated foamed core material that is stiffer and has twice the normal dimensional stability of Seaboard HDPE for tough environments such as seat bottoms, engine covers and larger span applications.

Seaboard Grip-X is textured for enhanced traction and slip resistance, making it perfect for step, flooring and walkway and swim platform applications. The non-skid surface features a dot or diamond pattern and has superior UV resistance compared to other products on the market. Seaboard Utility is an economical grade of lightweight foamed HDPE, perfect for non-UV applications such as seat backs and bottoms, wood replacements and weight reduction components. This low-cost alternative is one third less weight, has a non-absorbent closed cell structure, superior screw and staple retention and scratch resistance.
