Seaboard Composite Panels


Seaboard is a high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet formulated to meet the specific requirements of marine and other outdoor environments. Seaboard Lite is UV stable and will withstand the elements without rotting, delaminating or peeling like wood. CPC Seaboard Lite is manufactured as a continuous extrusion. It is not press laminated. Thus, it is unconditionally guaranteed not to delaminate during the service life of the end-product.  Grip-X is a UV stabilized high density polyethylene (HDPE) sheet formulated to meet demanding conditions of the marine industry. Grip-X is manufactured with a special surface treatment and stipulated pattern to achieve a slip resistant surface as compared with the standard surface and other high density polyethylene marine grade products.

Due to its advanced formulation, CPG Seaboard is the most rigid and dimensionally stable HDPE (composite) product available.  A unique pre-production treatment gives every sheet the enhanced ability to resist the harmful effects of salt water, moisture and direct sunlight (UV degradation).  Seaboard gets its superior strength and toughness because it's manufactured as a continuous extrusion - not press laminated - so there's no structural weak spots where delamination could occur.   Because the sheets are extruded, they are stress relieved and tend to stay much flatter and stable than other composite panels. 

Seaboard is available in different specifications:

        1)  Full Density:     Solid all the way through for when you need that nice clean edge with excellent surface quality.  As a             standard feature, the Full Density panels are UV stabilized for maximum performance. 

       Features and Benefits:
  • Stability Seaboard is stress relieved and UV stabilized specifically for harsh marine environments.
  • Strength Seaboard is the toughest marine high density polyethylene (HDPE) available on the market.
  • Inert Seaboard is impervious to the salt and moisture on boats.
  • Thermal resistance Seaboard has a high heat distortion temperature to resist "softening".
  • Hardness Seaboard resists scratching better the the other marine polymers.
  • Food Safe Seaboard sheets meet FDA requirements for use in applications where they may come in contact with food.
  • Consistency Seaboard sheet are extruded and exhibit consistent color and dimensional characteristics.

        2)  Lite - The same quality surface, but with a "foamed" center that reduces weight from the panel.   Also, this product is much less expensive than the Full Density, so it is an excellent alternative when you don't need that perfect edge.  This panel is also UV stabilized.

        Features and Benefits:
  • Inert Seaboard Lite is inert in marine environments and is not effected by moisture and most cleaning chemicals.
  • Toughness Seaboard Lite is made from the same tough high density polyethylene (HDPE) as our standard grade of Seaboard.
  • Moisture resistance Seaboard Lite is resistant to moisture and it will not rot or swell in moist environments.
  • Light Seaboard Lite is 30% lighter than standard high density polyethylene (HDPE)

        3)  Utility -  Again, a nice quality HDPE panel that is produced ideally for unexposed applications.   Excellent for upholstery, below deck applications, and anyplace else you want to replace wood with composite.  This panel is also "foamed" and  has a consistent surface on 2 sides.  Another nice feature, the colors of the Utility panel very closely, or in some cases, exactly match the Full Density and Lite panels.

        Features and Benefits:
  • Lightweight Seaboard Utility is a foam core product that is 30% lighter than standard high density polyethylene (HDPE).
  • Economical Seaboard Utility is the economical choice for non-exposed marine applications.
  • Strength Seaboard Utility is extruded high density polyethylene (HDPE) and is inherently strong.
  • Moisture resistant Seaboard Utility will not rot, peel or crack in moist environments.

Seaboard is Currently Available in the following colors:

  1. Full Density - Polar White, Seafoam, Artic White and Panama White.

  2. Lite - Polar White and Seafoam.

  3. Utility - Light Grey.

  • In the Full Density and Lite, special colors are available with very reasonable minimum quantities.

  • In the Utility Grade, special colors are available in truckload quantities.  Please discuss your needs with us and we might be able to put together a stock program for you.

  • We stock different items based on our existing customers needs.  We have some colors in 1/2" and 3/4" thickness, while others only in 1/4".  Please give us a call to find out our exact stock based on the specification, thickness, and color.

Seaboard is available in widths of 48" or 54".  Standard lengths are at 96", but the sky is the limit.  If you require a panel at some other length to improve your yield, let us know.  We can give you a panel at any length due to our extruding process.
