Why is Bow To Stern a better protectant and sun block than other products on the market?
The BTS chemistry addresses all of the major areas that accelerate deterioration of gelcoat and painted surfaces. The ultraviolet band of solar radiation is the greatest problem. The process of photo-initiation causes chemical changes in a micro-thin layer of gel coat on a boat’s surface, while photo-oxidation actually degrades the molecules of the surface. The sunlight, along with reactive atmospheric compounds, will degrade, discolor and make gel coat or paint finishes look chalky and dull. This is the result of the surface literally being burned away one molecule at a time. While traditional hard waxes or polishes will shine gel coat, their UV protection is very limited and wears off easily. The key is to provide active UV protection for an extended period of time. BTS utilizes proprietary advanced UVA and UVB blockers to shield the surface from photo-initiated oxidation. BTS forms a micro thin protective film that holds these UV blockers in place on the surface that provides durabl
