With a worldwide reputation to uphold, at Bostik we’re eager to guarantee perfect and lasting results for our customers. This means continually developing innovative, new and sustainable marine adhesives, while refining existing ranges to provide the excellence in marine construction adhesives the yacht and commercial ship building industry demands.
Our marine adhesive products are used for glass bonding (windscreens, port holes) as well as numerous construction and decorative applications, such as teak and artificial deck bonding, below-deck interior bonding and deck-to-spider-hull bonding.
Bostik is also a market leader in adhesives for bonding the wide range of fabrics and materials used in the construction of inflatable boats for military, rescue and leisure uses.
Smart innovations
Many of our marine adhesives are recognized around the world as industry-leading products for yacht, super yacht and commercial ship building and maintenance projects. Innovative products such as our MSR Construction Adhesive with its longer open time, MSR Deck Caulk Advanced with its high chemical, UV and heat resistance, and our Dual SMP versions of the entire MSR range are all defining the marine adhesives range.
