- Suitable for marine and outdoor applications
Common Starboard® Applications
Starboard® plastics are used across a wide range of industries and applications. In marine settings, the material is often specified for boat interiors, cabinetry, hatch covers, console panels, trim, and non-structural components. Its resistance to water and weather makes it especially useful in environments where materials are exposed to salt spray, sunlight, and frequent cleaning.
Outside of marine use, Starboard® is also used in industrial, transportation, and commercial applications. Fabricators and product designers may choose it for signage, equipment housings, washdown areas, shelving, storage components, and custom parts that require a clean, durable, and machinable plastic sheet.
Fabrication and Processing
Starboard® is designed to be processed with standard fabrication methods, making it a convenient option for shops and manufacturers that need efficient production workflows. It can be cut, drilled, routed, milled, and formed using common tools and equipment. This versatility helps reduce fabrication complexity and supports custom part production for both short-run and high-volume projects.
When selecting materials for a project, it is important to consider the required thickness, color, finish, and end-use environment. Piedmont Plastics can help customers identify the right Starboard® product format based on performance requirements and fabrication needs.
Benefits for Fabricators and OEMs
For fabricators, OEMs, and purchasing teams, Starboard® offers a dependable material solution that balances performance and workability. Its resistance to environmental exposure can help reduce product replacement frequency and maintenance costs. Additionally, the brand is often chosen for its clean appearance and consistent sheet quality, which can support both functional and aesthetic goals.
Starboard® may also help streamline production by providing a material that is compatible with standard shop practices. This can be beneficial for manufacturers seeking repeatable results and efficient handling across multiple jobs or part configurations.
