Spraylat International Ltd

What Spraylat International Ltd does

Spraylat International Ltd is a UK-based, privately held specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in Corby, Northamptonshire, that develops and produces peelable temporary protective coatings under the Protectapeel brand. The company's core technology is a portfolio of water-based, low-VOC, solvent-free liquid-applied films that dry into durable barriers on glass, metal, polished concrete, PVCu, and other surfaces and can be removed cleanly without adhesive residue, with certain formulations qualified to US Mil-C-6799C (aerospace), C5 High corrosion resistance (marine), and BS 476: Part 7 Class 1 fire rating (construction). The product range spans Protectapeel GlassDefend, Anti Rust, FloorDefend, Aerospace E100, BoothStrip, and Multi-Surface variants, complemented by Photocure, a UV-curable coating that cures within seconds under UV light.

The company serves enterprise customers across construction, aerospace and defence, marine and shipbuilding, and general industrial manufacturing, with reference projects including the Burj Khalifa, HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, RRS Sir David Attenborough polar research vessel, One Nine Elms London, GKN Aerospace's Typhoon programme, BBC Studios, and major industrial OEMs such as BAE Systems, Cammell Laird, Multiplex, and Verder UK. Spraylat is ISO 9001 certified and operates a single manufacturing plant in the UK, with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, or external funding.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct sales of coatings to large enterprise customers on a project-by-project basis, alongside a global distributor network that the company is actively expanding. Products are sold as one-time purchases rather than under recurring contracts, pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the customer base spans multiple industries and geographies, providing some diversification against single-segment or single-customer concentration despite the project-anchored nature of the order book.

Broad incumbents

• RPM International: US-listed specialty coatings holding company with operating companies in industrial, marine and protective coatings. Comparable as a broad incumbent owning multiple niche coating brands that compete with Spraylat's specialist positioning in segments like rust protection and chemical milling coatings.
• PPG Industries: One of the world's largest paints and coatings companies, supplying industrial, aerospace, marine and architectural protective coatings. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating across Spraylat's verticals (aerospace, marine, construction) at much greater scale.
• Sherwin-Williams: Largest North American coatings company with industrial protective, marine and aerospace product lines. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving overlapping end-use applications, especially industrial protective coatings and aerospace finishes.
• 3M: Global diversified industrial giant that sells protective films, masking tapes and specialty surface protection products through its Industrial and Safety divisions. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping temporary surface protection, though only one of many categories in its portfolio.
• AkzoNobel: Global paints and coatings major with leading positions in marine, protective and specialty coatings. Comparable as a broad incumbent in Spraylat's addressable coatings markets, particularly marine and industrial protective segments.
• Henkel: German specialty chemicals company with strong adhesives and surface treatment portfolios. Comparable for Spraylat's peelable coating chemistry and aerospace/industrial surface protection applications, with overlapping know-how in polymer formulations.

Emerging players

• Nitto Denko: Japanese advanced materials manufacturer with industrial tapes, protective films and surface protection products. Comparable for Spraylat's temporary peelable films and aerospace/electronics surface protection, though typically using adhesive film rather than liquid-applied coating technology.
• Corrocoat: UK-based specialist in high-performance protective coatings for aggressive environments including marine and industrial applications. Comparable as a niche UK specialist competing in protective and anti-corrosion coatings adjacent to Spraylat's Anti Rust and Marine Coatings lines.

Direct peers

• Hempel: Danish-headquartered coatings manufacturer serving marine, protective and decorative segments globally. Directly comparable for Spraylat's Marine Coatings line (Cammell Laird, BAE Systems use cases) and adjacent industrial protective coatings, with overlapping customer profiles in shipbuilding and offshore.
• Jotun: Norwegian global coatings supplier with a strong marine, protective and offshore portfolio. Comparable to Spraylat's marine and heavy-industry coatings offerings and competes for similar shipyard and offshore contractor accounts in protective and anti-corrosion applications.
