Exterior Component Sealants for Marine Applications
Improve Marine Exterior Component Performance and Aesthetics
Our SMP marine solutions can offer the following attributes to help achieve performance and aesthetic needs:
- Resistance to mold, salt water, UV and teak oil: Their chemistry allows our SMP products to maintain performance and appearance as intended and not degrade even after exposure to salt water, UV and teak oil.
- Low shrinkage: Because they have high solids content, our SMP marine solutions are able to have minimal shrinkage over time; this capability helps the exterior components to maintain structural integrity by minimizing cracking and bond voids.
- Paintability: Compared to traditional silicone sealants, our SMPs lack silicone oil in their formulation; this allows them to be easily painted to achieve a desired look while offering flexibility.
Streamline Marine Exterior Component Production Processes
Our SMP marine solutions for exterior components can help your production processes in the following ways:
- Easy tooling: Our SMPs’ composition allows for controlled rheology, which can help make them easy to work with and allow for precise application.
- Primerless capabilities: These marine solutions can be applied to surfaces such as metals, plastics or woods, without requiring a primer first; this reduces production complexities and steps and can help minimize potential for downtime, rework and waste.
- Fast tack: Our SMPs can offer high initial tack, which can help speed up production cycles by achieving strength quickly.
