Shield Gel Unifiber UF061010013

Shield Gel Unifiber UF061010013

Description:

Shield Gel is a specialized anti‑corrosion gel designed to protect hydrofoil assemblies and other marine hardware from galvanic corrosion. The proprietary insulating, water‑repellent formula creates a barrier between dissimilar metals — for example stainless steel, titanium or carbon in contact with aluminium — significantly reducing electrochemical attack and the risk of parts bonding or becoming brittle. In addition to its isolating properties the gel acts as a lubricant, making foil assembly and disassembly faster and easier while helping prevent seized or frozen bolts. Lightweight and easy to apply, Shield Gel is intended for regular maintenance to extend the service life of bolts, fittings and mounting hardware exposed to saltwater. It is compatible with the types of metals and composites commonly used in hydrofoils and watersports gear and is particularly valuable for anyone who rigs, transports or stores foils frequently. Regular use reduces downtime and maintenance costs by keeping fasteners functioning smoothly.

Key Features:

• Proprietary water‑repellent, insulating gel that inhibits galvanic corrosion
• Creates a physical barrier between dissimilar metals (e.g., stainless/titanium/carbon and aluminium)
• Lubricating action eases assembly and disassembly of bolts and fasteners
• Reduces risk of seized or brittle hardware and catastrophic failures
• Extends the service life of hydrofoil components and mounting hardware
• Easy to apply — ideal for routine maintenance and field use
• Suitable for use on bolts, screws, fittings and other foil mounting points
• Compatible with common marine metals and composite materials
