Amid the transformation of the shipbuilding industry toward larger scale, higher sophistication, and greater sustainability, requirements for marine equipment have become increasingly stringent—particularly regarding corrosion resistance, impact strength, and lightweight performance. Rubber-plastic composite laminates for marine applications, as specialized components that integrate the core advantages of both rubber and plastics via lamination processing, are widely deployed across critical areas such as hulls, decks, cabins, and piping systems. Serving as the "invisible guardians" of maritime safety and service life, these materials not only enhance operational reliability but also drive the iterative upgrade of the marine composites industry.

While often unfamiliar to many, the underlying principle of these laminates is "complementary advantages and layered functionality." In essence, composite laminate blocks are manufactured through a lamination process that bonds rubber, plastics, and reinforcing substrates—such as fiberglass fabric or synthetic fiber textiles—into a unified structure under controlled heat and pressure (with either high-pressure or low-pressure processes selected according to application needs). This architecture preserves the elasticity and impact resistance of rubber while incorporating the rigidity and abrasion resistance of plastics, further reinforced by structural supports. The result is a material perfectly adapted to the high-salinity, high-humidity, and highly corrosive marine environment prone to mechanical collisions. These laminates effectively resolve long-standing industry pain points: the susceptibility of traditional metal components to rust, the decay of wooden structures, and the limited performance of single-material rubber or plastic parts.
