Leisure Marine
Adhesives & Sealants
Smart solutions for leisure marine
With Bostik’s leisure marine adhesives and sealants, based on a range of technologies, such as methyl methacrylates (MMA), silyl modified polymers (SMP) and water-based, this can be even easier. Our solutions offer:
- Adhesion to lightweight materials to increase design options
- No cracking after long-term ageing to improve durability
- Minimal surface preparation needs and SKU reduction opportunities to streamline operations
- VOC and isocyanate-free as well as recycling compatibility levels to enhance sustainability
Bostik’s recommended marine exterior technology
Silyl modified polymer (SMP) is a hybrid adhesive technology that combines the properties of both silicones and polyurethanes to provide:
- Combined flexibility and elasticity to improve tension durability
- Limited surface treatment to increase production efficiencies
- Enhanced worker safety as a solution free from isocyanates, solvents and PVC
Bostik’s recommended marine interior technologies
While many adhesive technologies work for interior marine applications, we recommend:
- Solvent-based adhesives offer high strength, fast drying and can be easily spray or brush applied to improve efficiency and overall application performance with long service life plasticizer resistance.
- Hot melt adhesives offer process flexibility and versatile bonding capabilities to rubbers, plastics, metals, low surface energy substrates, high density polyethylene and more. Hot melts also enable quick repairs with rapid bonding to instantly improve aesthetics.
- Instant adhesives are applied at room temperature to reduce energy usage and cure quickly to increase production speeds. They also offer high bond strength compared to other technologies, making them suitable for applications that need to withstand significant weight or use.
