Huckins Linwood Jet Drive 56: Individuality Expressed in ALEXSEAL®
Since Huckins was first established in
1928, their yachts have been as unique
as the people who commission them.

The legacy of the Huckins Linwood dates

After cruising with his family for 18 months

ALEXSEAL® Celebrates with Cheoy Lee on Launch of Bravo Series
Cheoy Lee launched their Bravo Series
with the 78 motoryacht, a poised performer
and an excellent example of the value and
quality that have distinguished their yachts
for nearly 60 years. Their history dates
back to a humble beginning in 1870 as a
building and repair yard for steam-powered
craft in Shanghai. Run by the same family
ever since, Cheoy Lee is resourceful,
colorful, ingenious, and committed to timehonored traditions of excellence. These
shared traits at ALEXSEAL® made their
partnering for the coatings on the Bravo
Series, among other custom Cheoy Lee
vessels, a natural progression.
Most of the 78’s fiberglass parts, including
her hull and superstructure, are built using
a process in which resin is infused into
the laminate in a vacuum. This makes it
possible to create parts with near-perfect
resin-to-glass ratios. It also reduces
weight and waste and leads to a more
consistent result. Similarly, ALEXSEAL’s
high-performance coatings reduce the
film thickness which simplifies the drying
process and provides significant weight
reductions - resulting in substantial cost
and time savings, as well as decreases in
waste and energy consumptions.
FAIRING & FINISHES > The Official Newsletter of ALEXSEAL ® Yacht Coatings
For 140 years, Cheoy Lee has made
everything from ferries and tugboats to
sprawling superyachts. Their long-sighted
strategies and limitless abilities allow them
to stay at the forefront of the industry, and
ALEXSEAL® is honored to join them here.

Steadfast Support
Performance with a Conscience
The Alexseal® system is comprised
of high quality components that offer
the greatest possible environmental
compatibility during all phases of their
life cycle. Our sensitive approach to
ecological issues is evident in our
selection criteria for raw material
suppliers and their handling of these
issues. Heavy preference is given to
suppliers that are ISO 14001 certified,
and we regularly have our company
audited for ISO compliance.
Within the last ten years, we have
introduced water-dilutable coatings.
One of our objectives is to offer a
water-dilutable alternative for our
interior product range, while complying
with specifications and requirements
dictated by the surfaces. Use of waterdilutable products drastically reduces
solvent emissions, lessening the risks
of fire and explosion and reducing
environmental pollutants.
Another factory objective is the
development of products that utilize
fewer coats and thinner film densities,

ALEXSEAL’s recent introduction of a
new metal parts primer that speeds
up the application process is another
example of how providing substantial
cost and time saving solutions has
helped us secure a leading industry

Introducing ALEXSEAL® Waterborne Topcoat
ALEXSEAL® Waterborne Topcoat is a water
reducible, two component polyurethane
developed for the demanding needs of the
global marine market. This highly durable
product has been formulated into an
innovative marine specific interior coating
using ALEXSEAL’s proprietary, state-ofthe-art polyurethane technology.
ALEXSEAL® Waterborne Topcoat provides
the builder and applicator with the desired
performance characteristics of a solventborne paint, without the odor, flammability
and other negative characteristics that
would inhibit applying a highly durable
product in an enclosed environment. Lower
VOC’s and solvent emissions provide the
green alternative you have been looking
for; plus the fastest drying time in its class
saves precious time and money, and gets
you on the water faster.

The finished product equally impresses
with its high gloss and durable surface,
even under the marine environment’s
harsh conditions. Resistance to abrasion,
chipping, solvents, chemicals, synthetic
cooling agents and hydraulic oils makes
ALEXSEAL® Waterborne Topcoat’s interior
application ideal for engine rooms and
lockers, as well as other interior surfaces
where a waterborne product is desired.

ALEXSEAL® U.S. Operations Move to South Carolina
In August ALEXSEAL® moved U.S.
operations from St. Louis, Missouri to
Charleston, South Carolina. Mankiewicz
invested in renovating an existing 24,000
sq. ft. building, which has given rise to a
state-of-the art lab, production, technical
training and warehouse facility, as well as
new employment opportunities for the local
community.
This move provides faster access to
ALEXSEAL® shipments from Germany
through the Charleston port of entry,
decreased delay for West Coast shipments
via direct access to the southern trucking
routes, closer proximity to the hub of their
U.S. customer base, and better resources
for their employees. The new location,
which Mankiewicz will also use to serve
the U.S. aviation, automotive, medical
and industrial markets, features a climatecontrolled environment for all product
stages from the lab to production to storage
- helping to ensure their products maintain
their superior, world renowned attributes. In
addition, the efficiency of consolidating all
operations from research and development
to production, storage and shipping, as well

are excited to be able to expand our U.S.
