Interstate Advanced Materials provides the commercial fishing and marine industry with rigid material solutions like HDPE Marine Board. Ideal for boat decking, fish storage, bait tanks, transom boards, and other marine construction applications, Marine Board is UV-stabilized and will not warp, rot, or delaminate under prolonged exposure to humidity or water like wood. Its exceptional resistance to abrasion and chemicals further enhances Marine Board’s ability to endure even the harshest outdoor conditions with ease.

TECAFORM® AH UD Blue is an ultra-detectable acetal copolymer designed to enhance safety in food contact applications. Used for components in fish and seafood processing equipment, TECAFORM® AH UD Blue helps guarantee that food only comes into contact with FDA-compliant materials. Unlike traditional materials, TECAFORM® AH UD Blue can be identified using any of the three standard detection systems - optical scanners, metal detectors, or X-ray equipment. This multi-detectable capability minimizes the risk of contamination in fish and seafood production lines.

Reprocessed UHMW is a versatile and eco-friendly material used in the commercial fishing and marine industry for applications such as dock fenders, wear strips, keel guards, pulleys, hatch covers, slide pads, and components for fish processing equipment. Made from a blend of virgin and recycled UHMW, it offers a sustainable yet durable solution with all the benefits of virgin UHMW at a more cost-effective price. Its superior wear resistance, self-lubricating properties, and additional UV resistance through additives ensure a longer lifespan compared to traditional materials like wood, rubber, or metal, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Interstate Advanced Materials looks forward to partnering with fishing and marine professionals ahead of Pacific Marine Expo 2024 to tackle the industry’s most pressing challenges. The company remains committed to helping fishing and marine experts learn more about the benefits of plastics and composite materials.
