LR Sealer UV is our next-generation, ultra high-performance RIB tube sealer, engineered to deliver exceptional UV protection across a wide range of materials, including smooth and fabric-impression finishes. A little goes a very long way — the formulation absorbs rapidly into the tube surface, providing an industry-leading shield against UV degradation while imparting an even, long-lasting, glossy finish.
All products produced after 2025 have been reformulated to ensure they are non-harmful to the marine environment, fully MARPOL Annex V compliant, and completely non-hazardous.
This advanced treatment replaces our previous RIB tube protector (Liquid RIB UV), offering superior durability, higher UV resistance and enhanced environmental credentials.
PROVEN PERFORMANCE:
- An independent Accelerated Weathering and UV Damage test was carried out under extreme temperature fluctuations and UV exposure designed to replicate central European climate conditions.
- Independent lab conclusion:
- “After 240 hours of Accelerated Weathering and UV Damage testing, the sample with the coating was visually far better than the no-coating sample.”
- This validates LR Sealer UV as an industry-leading protective treatment for long-term tube preservation.
Features:
- MARPOL Annex V compliant
- EU & UK REACH regulation compliant
- Non-harmful to aquatic life
- Non-hazardous
- Fully biodegradable
- Not classified as toxic

Instructions:
- Ensure the tube is clean and completely dry before application.
