Elasticity and persistence are key words in the construction and repair of boats and ships, which are constantly exposed to the buffeting of wind and waves.
The task of elastic bonding is to join, to waterproof, to dampen sound and vibration, to insulate and to prevent galvanic corrosion. These are all properties strongly associated with the marine environment, particularly in the manufacture, maintenance and repair of ships, boats and yachts.
Sika Marine products which have attained Wheelmark accreditation , provide solutions for:
• direct glazing of organic and inorganic mineral glass
• deck-to-hull and panel bonding
• deck caulking
• comfort
• interior trims and fittings
Sika systems are ideal for use in all Marine crafts; from skiffs to luxury sailing yachts, from power boats to cruise liners and from tankers to fast ferries.
