Keelshield is by far and away the best. Now given I may be a little bias but testing proves I'm correct.
The Results are in: KeelShield is the Best!
These lab tests were conducted by Structural Composites, Inc.
The KeelShield 3M adhesive system wins out taking nearly 4 times the force to peel, compared to our nearest competitor Keel Guard.
Keel Guards "manufactured blend of the highest quality anti-abrasive materials" lost over 4 times its mass vs KeelShield with its "Dow urethane polymers" in abrasion resistance testing. PLUS we backed it up at another accredited lab proving KeelShield is the better of the two. Remember to look for the "GATOR" - You'll know you're getting the best.
Are the more expensive materials worth protecting your boat ? Lab testing proves it.
The difference is the KeelShield patented design is made of urethane polymers, the strongest materials not plastic or PVC-based. Only the best raw materials are used from Dow Polymers and BASF colors. Along with the strongest 3M advanced pressure adhesive system that is nearly twice as thick as the nearest competitor.
Plus it comes with a 100% lifetime warranty on abrasion and adhesion is covered to the original purchaser.
