Coosa Composite Board – Bluewater 20

Lightweight composite board for semi-structural and non-structural applications

Coosa Bluewater 20 is the lightest board in the Bluewater series and a high-performance replacement for marine plywood where weight reduction is critical. Manufactured from high-density, closed-cell polyurethane foam reinforced with continuous strand fibreglass, Bluewater 20 delivers dependable strength at a fraction of the weight of traditional timber products.

At around 420 kg/m³ and more than 45% lighter than plywood, Bluewater 20 is ideal for semi-structural and non-structural components that require durability, moisture resistance and dimensional stability in marine, transport, construction and RV applications.

Key Features & Benefits

Coosa: Strong. Lightweight. Non-Absorbent

Bluewater 20 is the most economical option in the Bluewater series, offering reliable long-term performance where weight and durability both matter.

THE COOSA ADVANTAGE

For more than 25 years, Coosa Composites has delivered advanced composite panel solutions trusted across marine, transport, industrial and recreational markets. Manufactured from high-density, closed-cell polyurethane foam reinforced with continuous-strand fibreglass, Coosa panels offer a strong, dependable alternative to plywood and other conventional core materials.

The fibre-reinforced structure delivers exceptional durability, impact resistance and long-term stability—performing reliably in harsh, wet or highly loaded environments where traditional materials often fail. This unique construction gives Coosa significant advantages over honeycomb, unreinforced foams, timber, and other sandwich core options, providing consistent performance, lighter weight and reduced maintenance for demanding composite builds.

COOSA MARKET APPLICATIONS

NO-ROT COMPOSITE PANELS FOR THE MARINE INDUSTRY

For 25 years, Coosa panels have been in the marine product market. The exposure to moisture a boat has to withstand (fresh and/or salt water) combined with the rigorous marine environment means only the best structural products will do. For boat construction or repair, Coosa is the premier product for replacing marine-grade plywood or other wood cores. With over 150,000 boats on the water containing Coosa’s marine boards, our materials have stood the test of time, exposure, and abuse.

Composite panel technology is transforming modern vehicle construction, delivering lighter, stronger, and more durable alternatives to traditional timber and standard sandwich cores. Coosa composite panels — manufactured from high-density, closed-cell polyurethane foam reinforced with continuous fibreglass — are engineered to meet the structural and environmental demands of commercial transport platforms. Offering excellent compressive and flexural strength, superior fastener retention, and complete resistance to water absorption, rot, and mould, Coosa is widely specified across buses, coaches, truck bodies, RVs, emergency vehicles, and service fleets for floors, walls, ceilings, bulkheads, and interior fit-outs. Compared to conventional materials, Coosa panels help reduce overall vehicle weight, improve fuel efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, minimise downtime, and extend asset service life, with fire-rated options further enhancing passenger safety and compliance in next-generation vehicle builds.

Recreational vehicle design has evolved rapidly in recent years, driven by the rise of off-grid travel, remote touring, and full-time nomadic lifestyles. Modern RV builds demand lighter structures for improved fuel efficiency, without compromising durability or long-term reliability in harsh environments. Coosa composite panels provide an advanced solution — manufactured from high-density, closed-cell polyurethane foam reinforced with continuous fibreglass, they function as both a structural core and integrated water barrier. This composite construction delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, resists water ingress, rot, and mould, and reduces ongoing maintenance requirements, making Coosa an ideal material choice for flooring, walls, cabinetry, and structural fit-outs across next-generation RV and motorhome platforms.

Composite panels are increasingly specified across architectural and infrastructure projects as designers seek lightweight, durable alternatives to traditional building materials. Coosa composite panels are engineered to meet demanding structural and environmental requirements, offering high strength-to-weight performance alongside complete resistance to water ingress, rot, and infestation, with excellent dimensional stability in both interior and exterior applications. Available in a range of densities to suit load and span requirements, Coosa panels provide a versatile solution for façades, fit-outs, joinery, and structural elements. Compared to plywood and conventional substrates, fibre-reinforced composite panels are easier to machine and install, accelerating construction timelines while reducing long-term maintenance and lifecycle costs — enabling architects and builders to deliver innovative, high-performance structures without compromising durability or budget control.

Coosa composite panels are engineered to meet the demanding performance requirements of industrial and commercial environments, delivering a durable alternative to traditional timber and standard core materials. Manufactured from high-density, fibreglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, Coosa panels provide exceptional resistance to water ingress, rot, and infestation while maintaining long-term dimensional stability across a range of densities to suit both structural and lightweight applications. In industrial settings where moisture, flooding, or harsh operating conditions are present, Coosa panels outperform conventional substrates by reducing maintenance, eliminating decomposition-related failure risks, and improving workplace safety by preventing warping and surface degradation. Their lighter weight also benefits overhead and mobile structures, while fire-rated options provide an added layer of protection where compliance and safety are critical — making Coosa a versatile solution across infrastructure, processing facilities, transportable buildings, and heavy-duty industrial fit-outs.

Coosa composite panels are engineered for specialised applications where conventional materials cannot meet structural or environmental demands. Manufactured from high-density, fibreglass-reinforced polyurethane foam, they deliver exceptional strength-to-weight performance with complete resistance to water ingress, rot, and corrosion. Ideal for marine refits, defence platforms, modular infrastructure, medical fit-outs, and mobile service units, Coosa panels provide a stable, machinable substrate capable of supporting high hardware loads while maintaining long-term dimensional integrity — offering a versatile composite solution for projects requiring enhanced durability and performance.
