Hypetex extends colored composites to marine industry

British composites company Hypetex (London, U.K.) announces that it is expanding into the marine sector. Born out of Formula 1 technology, Hypetex offers manufacturers sustainable advanced materials with technical and efficiency benefits. Its materials provide colorful aesthetics, combining visual appeal with weight, technical and cost-saving advantages for lightweight, high-performance products.

The use of carbon and natural fiber in the marine industry is growing rapidly, used in hulls, superstructures, accessories and spars, which is where Hypetex comes in. Using its materials, boatbuilders will be able to achieve desired aesthetics while maintaining optimal performance. The materials also offer high stress tolerance, ensuring greater durability and longevity for marine products and benefit from lower maintenance costs.

Hypetex has already proven successful in the marine industry, having provided its materials for the Imoca 60 Race Yacht by Jason Carrington, as well as the automotive sector, recently collaborating on the Ford Mustang, and producing an all-body colored carbon fiber BAC Mono R supercar. Hypetex also works within the sporting, orthopaedic and luxury goods sectors.

Assisting Hypetex in joining the marine industry is Resintex Technology (Frosinone, Italy), a distributor of advanced composite materials specializing in the marine sector. Resintex prioritizes material availability, swift deliveries and comprehensive technical communication. 

“The use of advanced composites in the marine market continues to grow and Hypetex’s solutions offer exceptional and durable finishes, without taking away the performance of the vessel,” Peter Tyler, marine business advisor Hypetex, says. “Hypetex joining the marine industry demonstrates the continuing growth of the company that already operates across a wide variety of sectors.”
