Every day we hear about new applications for SailKote.

McLube originally developed SailKote for the sailing industry. However, it also proved useful in many other sports, recreational, and household applications—soap box derby cars, the underside of lawn mower decks, snow shoes, golf club heads, and more.

SailKote can be used anywhere there is friction. Once dry, it leaves a tough, durable coating on the surface that is very slick. SailKote is particularly suited for marine environments because the coating is hydrophobic (repels water), but it works equally well in non-marine settings. From the workshop to the ski slopes, SailKote can help you.

“If it slides, it needs SailKote.”
