Industrial Coating Systems for Ships, Boats, and Yachts

The painting of ships and private yachts presents additional challenges beyond standard coating difficulties, due to the requirement for high resistance of the paint film when in contact with water.

Specific products with high surface protection capabilities are applied, particularly to the exterior of the vessel, to limit damage caused by water.

When using high-thickness gelcoats, the NitroTherm® Spray system by EUROSIDER® enables the application of thicknesses up to 800 microns in 7 layers without sagging, while reducing drying times compared to conventional compressed air systems.

The painting refitting operation for ships, boats, and yacht is carried out in different locations from those where they are built; it is therefore necessary to move the blocks to be treated using trolleys, rails, or cranes to facilities equipped for such operations. Once the ship is painted, the blocks are reassembled in a short time.

Advantages and Benefits for the Nautical Sector

Efficiency and Reduction of Operating Costs

  • Savings of up to 30% on powder or paint consumption

  • Higher transfer efficiency and reduction of overspray

  • Reduction of product waste and consumables (filters, solvents)

  • Reduction of application pressures by up to 50% (liquid systems)

  • Cleaner booths and lower maintenance requirements

  • Reduction of overall energy and operating costs

Lower costs per painted piece and greater control over the production budget.

Increased Productivity and Process Stability

  • Productivity increase of up to 20%
  • Faster line speed thanks to a more stable application
  • Reduction of downtime related to environmental variables
  • Consistent performance regardless of season or working hour
  • Reduced flash-off and curing times (liquid coating)
  • Faster color changes and smoother production management (powder coating)

Faster, continuous, and predictable production cycle.

Superior Quality and Homogeneous Finish

  • More uniform thicknesses even on complex geometries

  • Better penetration in difficult areas (reduction of Faraday’s Cage effect – powder)

  • Finer and more controlled atomization (liquid)

  • Reduction of visual defects: runs, orange peel, blistering, opacity

  • Reduced need for touch-ups or second coats

  • More homogeneous, brilliant, and professional finish from the first pass

Higher quality standards and greater perceived value of the finished product.

Why Choose Eurosider Systems for Vessel Coating

Simple and Non-Invasive Integration

They can be installed on existing systems (manual or automatic) without the need for structural replacements.

Fast and Measurable ROI

Immediate savings on materials, time, and maintenance ensure a return on investment in a short period.

Greater Industrial Sustainability

Reduction of dispersed powders, solvents, VOC emissions, and energy consumption, resulting in a cleaner and more responsible process.

Process Control and Repeatability

Constant operational stability and controlled application conditions ensure uniform quality and repeatable results over time.

Strategic Opportunity for Nautical Coating

In an industrial context increasingly focused on efficiency, certified quality, and environmental sustainability, the optimization of the painting process represents a key competitive advantage.

The integration of Eurosider systems — for both powder and liquid coating — allows companies in the sector to:

  • Reduce industrial costs without compromising performance

  • Increase productivity while maintaining high quality standards

  • Improve the sustainability of the production cycle

  • Standardize the process and reduce dependence on environmental variables

Whether for high-volume production or highly specialized work, the adoption of advanced application control and optimization technologies is a strategic choice to strengthen competitiveness, margins, and market positioning.
