Wearlon® Coatings have been satisfying customers for decades, distributed globally throughout numerous industries, solving endless problems

Wearlon® Origins

Humble Beginnings

Plastic Maritime was created by a young, creative chemist and Nova-Scotian Maritimer named John Smith. He decided to take a risk, leaving his prestigious position at a large multi-national company, with hopes to create his own brand. Building a laboratory in the basement of his home he began to work on what would become his Masterpiece...

 Wearlon®

 

John had many tremendous achievements, including 17 patents, one of which is the invention of A21, an adhesive release technology that revolutionized most tape and wallpaper used today. With this resume, his expertise was highly desired by many chemical industries. Despite these opportunities, John decided to focus on his own work, creating a unique Silicone-Epoxy coating with Nonstick, Anti-Friction attributes. Unlike Teflon, this new coating creation did not require heat for curing and the silicone/release agents used were stable within the coating,  not acting as a free blooming sacrificial lubricant. 

 

Through hard work and dedication, John's dream became a reality. In 1998, Wearlon® officially became a brand and took to the market. Since then, Wearlon® has expanded to great lengths and only continues to grow, as it finds success in countless diverse applications worldwide.

Wearlon® Going Forward

Communication and Adaptability

At Plastic Maritime Corporation, we dedicate our time and effort to the satisfaction of our customers. A big part of this is communication. We love to work with all different types of people in order to find the solutions to their vastly different problems and questions. At any time, customers can call us and speak to a real person on the phone with real expert advise. 

 

The key to our business is not being confined to one application. Wearlon® is extremely versatile and we are constantly finding new applications where it thrives. Wearlon's® initial applications were purely industrial, but as the company has expanded, our coatings are now being utilized in all different creative ways. Boats, tools, athletic training equipment, and anti-graffiti applications, are just some of the more unique markets we supply. Wearlon® is also being used for many very important & critical applications such as the United States Military, Space X, Airplane Manufacturers, and many more...
