Welcome to SabetoFLEX, where we're redefining sustainability in the maritime industry! Our innovative, UV and biofouling-resistant PIB disks are designed to dramatically cut CO₂ emissions by reducing the need for frequent maintenance on buoys, vessels, and marine equipment. With SabetoPROTECT, you're not just protecting your equipment—you're saving fuel, minimizing operational emissions, and supporting a cleaner ocean environment.
Built with a top layer of UV resistant PIB (polyisobutylene) rubber, our disks (when combine with out PIB paint) don't just retain color, they create an inhospitable surface for barnacles, algae, and other marine growth that can drive up fuel costs and emissions. The disks are non-toxic and self-adhering with a butyl backing, making installation fast and seamless on buoys, vessel hulls, or any marine surface—no special tools, sandblasting, or toxic coatings required.
Our PIB disks deliver unparalleled durability and resilience. Tested under extreme conditions, they exhibit long-lasting UV resistance, withstand ice exposure, and maintain a vibrant color and structural integrity even after years of use.
Why PIB? This extraordinary material has proven its durability for decades—even after 60 years underwater [1]! Our disks not only reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency for vessels but also keep buoys in top condition for longer periods, cutting down on emissions and helping maritime operations align with the IMO's 40% carbon reduction goal [2].
With SabetoPROTECT, you're not just choosing a product—you're choosing a sustainable future. Cleaner and more visable buoys, streamlined vessels, and less environmental impact—it's all part of the SabetoPROTECT mission to make waves in maritime sustainability.
In May 2022, SabetoFlex's journey took a pivotal turn when Ed Stejn, one of our partners, drove a buoy from Grenaa to Roslev for cleaning. During this trip, Ed met Per Poulsen, the owner of a roofing company, sparking a game changing idea: why not use PIB, a material known for its resistance to UV and algae, in marine...
Imagine dropping a buoy into the ocean, knowing it won't need a touch-up for decades. That's the promise of SabetoPROTECT, a UV resistant, anti-biofouling solution that's rewriting the rulebook on marine durability—and it all started with a WWII U-boat. When Nazi submarine U-486 was raised from the sea, it still bore an intact layer of...
Picture this: a sleek, powerful ship gliding through the ocean, only to be held back by a little-known foe. This foe isn't the wind, rough waters, or even a mechanical issue—it's a layer of microscopic creatures that cling to the hull, creating drag and disrupting efficiency. This phenomenon, called bio-fouling, is far more than just nature being a...
