Frequently Asked Questions about Leisure Marine Adhesives and Sealants
What are the important criteria to consider when applying adhesives to recreational marine?
- The compatibility with the various substrates to be bonded. It is important for the adhesive to be compatible with a wide variety of surfaces, such as fiberglass, wood, glass, polycarbonate, carbon fiber and steel.
- Water resistance, as boating adhesives can be applied below the waterline.
- Resistance to aggressive environments, impacts, and dirt.
- The level of flexibility for your application.
How can Bostik adhesives protect people's health and the environment?
Bostik’s SMP bonding solutions are solvent, isocyanate and PVC-free, increasing worker safety while reducing environmental impacts. In addition, Bostik adhesives can reduce the weight of leisure marine, and thus improve its energy efficiency. MMA adhesives are ideally suited to the assembly of leisure marine. These adhesives are also impact resistant, an advantage when the sea is rough.
How can Bostik and Arkema support innovations?
In a mature market where the life of products is particularly long, it is important to innovate to stimulate demand. Bostik and Arkema integrate new models by improving boat performance such as comfort, sustainability, safety and design. We have a broad portfolio of innovative solutions for leisure marine. In addition to using durable Bostik adhesives to make your boat lighter, here are some examples of Arkema's solutions for leisure marine:
- For boat hulls, it is possible to use Elium, a 100% recyclable resin that can be reused over and over again without losing its properties.
- Cockpit glazing can also be recycled using Altuglas ShieldUp Flex, a very light, particularly impact and scratch resistant, flexible acrylic glass.
