Trojan Boat Forum

Hi, I was in the back of the boat near the port rudder box on my 12M Express and I noticed some peeling paint. When I removed the loose parts I found some numbers and a manufacturer name called Aristech. Any useful information here? Part of the manufacturing process tracking? Just curious. Tom

I have something similar on the underside of my cockpit floor in the engine room. I'll see if it says the same for my 10m.

I assume it refers to a component of the boat , maybe even the f glass . there is a Aristech chemical co. in PA and a Aristech acrylic co.

from the website:

Our Aristech Acrylics® brand acrylic sheet provides the high-end, ripple-free esthetics, color consistency and product quality demanded by leading brands of spas & hot tubs, bath tubs & shower units, corporate signage, and end users of custom thermoformed components (motor boats, agricultural machinery, and more).

FWIW there are more the one Aristech companies but the one list above could be the one or the chemical company .




Small fact back when Trojan first started F glass they work with a bath tub company .

Aristech Surfaces is the home of two leading product brands in the acrylic sheet and solid surfacing worlds: 

Aristech Acrylics® brand acrylic sheet is sold primarily to the bath and hot tub manufacturing industries

Interesting ,So what part of the boat was made by them ? I had found similar papers on my hull ( a F boat). I do not recall where or what the said . At least it did not say made in china LOL .
