New products: AkzoNobel delivers new One UP and Toplac Plus coatings

AkzoNobel One UP Toplac Plus Coating

Sept 23, 2021

AkzoNobel Yacht Coatings has introduced a new, easier to apply topside system with two new products in its high performance International range – One UP (Undercoat and Primer) and Toplac Plus.

One UP is a new versatile undercoat and primer in one that offers boaters a faster application time by combining the benefits of both an undercoat and primer into one coating. The unique formulation provides protection on multiple substrates and helps enhance the finish of International’s 1-part finishes.

The new silicone alkyd premium gloss topcoat, Toplac Plus, is suitable for all substrates above the waterline, stays glossy for longer and is available in a wide range of colours, in response to customer demand.

Toplac Plus can be applied using a brush or roller, and because of the new product’s superior flow and levelling, tipping by brush is no longer required to obtain a perfect finish. This makes Toplac Plus quicker and easier to use and suitable for Do-It-Yourself boaters and professionals.

Yacht owners wanting Toplac’s industry-leading high performance coating will have 24 bright colours to choose from with the new Toplac Plus. In addition, UV filters keep those colours glossier for longer.

Ten colours will be available at launch, with a further 14 colours from October onward.

Matt Anzardo, AkzoNobel Global Yacht Segment Manager, comments “Fewer coats, high-quality finishes means that boaters spend less time working on the boat and more time enjoying it.
Akzonobel Yacht Coatings has a 140-year track record of providing trust through its team of experts, as well as creating innovative products that deliver sustainable solutions for customers, the wider industry and the planet.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
