Teamac Hull Blacking is a high-quality, bitumen-based coating formulated to protect the hulls of narrowboats, cruisers and inland waterway vessels. Designed to resist water ingress and corrosion, this coating provides a tough, flexible barrier ideal for below-the-waterline applications.
Suitable for use on steel, wood and cast iron, Teamac Hull Blacking can be applied without the need for a primer or undercoat. For maintenance or recoating, it must only be overcoated with other bitumen-based systems to avoid bleeding or compatibility issues.
✅ Waterproof and corrosion-resistant
✅ Tough and flexible for submerged protection
✅ Primerless application on prepared steel, wood and cast iron
✅ Excellent adhesion and coverage
✅ Use below the waterline on narrowboats and inland vessels
