Product Information

Sikaflex adhesives and sealants are extensively used in the construction of a wide range of marine craft and structures. In fact everything from pleasure yachts to passenger liners, fishing boats to tankers, and canoes to oil rigs.

Sikaflex adhesive and sealant systems will provide a tough, waterproof, yet flexible bond between a multitude of materials and can be used with confidence above and below waterline.

Surface preparation

Correct surface preparation is the key to successful bonding. In many instances, all that is required, with the Sikaflex® Marine Product Line, is a simple cleaning operation, but where there are weak or contaminated surfaces, more extensive preparation is needed to ensure a perfect bond. Typical problem areas include dust, dirt, grease, fat, oil, rust, flaking paint, etc.

The actual pretreatment selected will depend on the type of substrate (metal, plastic, paint, wood, etc.), the operating conditions in service, the degree of surface deterioration and the practicalities of any particular installation. Detailed information can be obtained from our local office
