Marine Adhesives & Sealants
How Our Marine Solutions Help You Meet Consumer Performance Demands
Our marine adhesives and sealants can help you meet consumer performance demands by offering:
- Aging resistance: Our structural adhesives and our SMP sealants are formulated to maintain performance even with repeated exposure to UV, temperature changes and other environmental elements.
- High bond strength: Our Born2Bond™ instant adhesives are designed to provide higher bond strength compared to other cyanoacrylate technologies, which can help improve overall longevity for interior applications that need to withstand repeated weight or use without showing signs of wear.
- Environmental resistance: Our specialty hot melt web and film adhesives for marine interiors are formulated with the ability to withstand heat and moisture to help extend end-use product longevity.
- Flame retardancy: We offer flame retardant solutions that have been tested and certified to certain International Maritime Organization (IMO) fire test procedure standards for surface flammability levels.
- Sandable and paintable capabilities: Our SMP sealants can be sanded or painted to help achieve a finished look that consumers desire.
How Our Marine Solutions Help You Increase Production Efficiencies
Our marine adhesives and sealants for interior and exterior applications can provide:
- More sustainable formulations: Compared to other options, our marine adhesives and sealants can be solvent and isocyanate free to increase worker safety and reduce chemical emissions compared to solutions that utilize those substances. Additionally, our hot melt and water-based adhesives for interior applications yield no off-gassing fumes and are formulated with no volatile organic compounds.
- Reduced waste and energy usage: Our structural adhesives are designed to be non-sagging, which can help with vertical application ease and minimize waste. Additionally, our SMPs offer primerless adhesion; by eliminating the need for a primer, you can minimize error likelihood and associated downtime, waste and energy usage.
- Compatibility with lightweight substrates: Our solutions can bond and seal to different types of marine composites. In addition to reducing reliance on mechanical fasteners, this ability can help you reduce overall marine vessel weight, improving weight to power ratio and decreasing associated emissions.
