NO FLUFF. JUST TOUGH.
WELCOME TO ORTHODOLPHIN MFG.
Look, if you're looking for fancy retail packaging with dolphins smiling at you, go to West Marine. We make DolphinX industrial silicone coatings. I mix this stuff myself in the back shop using a custom-built centrifuge.
I've been machining parts for 20 years and I know what salt water does to metal. It eats it. My coatings are designed for:
- COMMERCIAL FISHING HULLS
- ALUMINUM PONTOONS
- HYDRAULIC LINES
- DOCK HARDWARE
MADE IN USA
SOURCED IN ARIZONA
