What is StarBoard material made of?
Starboard is a plastic sheet material made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and infused with UV inhibitors. In fact, it’s one of the few materials that is nearly impervious to UV exposure. This makes it highly durable, even in the harshest weather. King StarBoard® is the original marine-grade high-density polyethylene sheet and the leading brand in the marine industry. The King name is synonymous with quality to those who know plastics, and the King StarBoard® brand has been helping pros build better boats for more than thirty-years.

King StarBoard® will not rust, delaminate or rot when exposed to UV, humidity or water. It is ideal for a variety of marine applications from replacing wood, to building boat components and furniture. Unmatched Durability – Unlike wood and metal, King StarBoard® will not rust, delaminate, or rot when exposed to UV, moisture, or saltwater.
