The 2025 São Paulo Boat Show broke new records, with more than 750 boats sold and more than 40,000 visitors. The event, considered the largest nautical show in Latin America, once again demonstrates the fascination of the maritime world.
The event, which lasted a week, included 120 brands presenting products from all sectors of the nautical industry, from motor boats, equipment and accessories.
At Plaquimet, we reaffirm our commitment to the sector, reconnecting with clients and partners and exploring the corridors of the world, where ships built with Britec technology are on display.
Our integrated solutions in Brazil continue to gain prominence in the nautical industry, including:
Britec Gelcoat, renowned for its quality, durability and superior finish.
Swancor vinyl ester resins, ideal for high performance applications in marine environments. Our specialized technical support helps steelworkers and manufacturers in all stages of the production process.
This edition of the Nautical Show reflects the value of innovation, the close relationship with clients and the commitment to technical excellence, two of which we are so proud of.
Proper storage of resins and gelcoats is essential to preserve their properties, guarantee the quality of the final product, and prevent losses due to deterioration. At Plaquimet, we recommend following these best practices to ensure optimal performance:
Proper storage not only extends the product’s shelf life but also ensures quality, efficiency, and safety in every application. Remember that responsible management of these materials is key to preventing incidents, protecting personnel, and complying with current industrial safety regulations.
For more technical information and specific recommendations, please consult the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each material.
At Plaquimet, we continue to drive the development of the regional market for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) poles through our Polymet resin and Britec gelcoat lines. These are recognized for their excellent performance in extreme weather conditions such as ultraviolet radiation, salt corrosion, soil acidity, and fire.
Poles manufactured with Polymet and Britec meet demanding international standards such as ASTM G154 (resistance to degradation), ASTM D635 (self-extinguishing flammability), ASTM D570 (water absorption), and AMMA 615 (color retention and adhesion in dry and wet conditions). These certifications guarantee the durability, quality, and performance of FRP poles, even in the most demanding environments.
Thanks to their low weight, standard-sized poles can be transported by just two people, significantly reducing installation costs, the need for cranes, and workplace hazards. In flooded areas, they can even be transported by floating, which improves logistical efficiency and operational safety.
With established clients in Bolivia and Argentina, Plaquimet plans to expand its presence into new countries in the region, offering integrated, efficient solutions aligned with the highest international standards.
