In modern marine manufacturing, performance starts at the bond line.

Mechanical fixings add weight and complexity, and welding is often unsuitable for composites and gel coats.

SCIGRIP structural adhesives provide a seamless, reliable and aesthetically pleasing alternative. They utilise dissimilar material bonding, multiple working times, minimal surface preparation, impact resistant gap filling and provide reduced bondline readthrough, environmental resistance and a clean and finished look.

SCIGRIP products solve challenges

Lightweight Strength

Excellent for bonding FRP composites, aluminium and mixed-material assemblies with little or no surface preparation. High strength bonds capable of carrying static and dynamic loads across hulls, deck structures and internal fitout components.

Production Efficiency

Quicker fixture time allowing parts to be bonded and moved earlier in the production process, supporting both high-volume leisure craft production and specialist vessel builds.

Excellent Environmental and Chemical Resistance

Bond strength is maintained after extended exposure to marine environments including saltwater, UV, fuel and cleaning chemicals across the full range of vessel types and operating conditions.

Design Freedom

Large range of working times, bond dissimilar substrates without visible fasteners, no sag characteristics to fill gaps, suitable for everything from small recreational craft to larger commercial and working vessel applications.

Flooring

Aluminium and composites are the preferred
materials for strength, low weight and
noise/vibration resistance.

Bonding of dissimilar materials while providing impact resistance, noise dampening and structural stiffening.

Bond using:
SG230HV SG300 series

Console Assembly

Designed with composite materials for lower
weight, durability and aesthetics.

Requires bonding of dissimilar materials with limited preparation.

Bond using:
SG300 series SG350L series SG400LSE series

Mounting Hardware

Primarily made of steel or aluminium and
affixed to various boat surfaces to secure dock lines and ropes.

Bond dissimilar materials in demanding and consistently harsh environments.

Bond using:
SG100 series SG300 series

Deck Hatch

This being the largest opening below deck, it must be resistant to water, UV exposure and temperature extremes. Made from metals, plastics and composites.

Sealing and bonding dissimilar materials while providing impact and fatigue resistance.

Bond using:
SG100 series

Hull

Most commonly made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or aluminium alloys, the hull is responsible for keeping the boat afloat.

Using large lines of adhesive to bond the hull will offer strength, impact and environmental resistance.

Bond using:
SG230HV SG300 series

Window Frame

Steel, aluminium or FRP/GRP window frames of various sizes built to secure glass while protecting it from external force.

Requires strong bonding of dissimilar materials with weather-proof sealing and corrosion resistance.

Bond using:
SG230HV SG300 series SG350L series

Interior Parts

Primarily comprised of FRP/GRP and plastic parts for durability, light weight and aesthetics.

Requires strong, fast sealing and bonding of dissimilar materials with no sagging or surface preparation. Must be lightweight and aesthetically pleasing.

Bond using:
SG300 series SG350L series SG400LSE series

Transom

Made from aluminium or FRP/GRP to provide strength and support to the hull and the rear of the boat.

Requires strong bonding in harsh environmental conditions, subject to constant impact and vibration.

Bond using:
SG230HV SG300 series

Bulkhead and Stringer

Key structural elements that add strength and rigidity to the hull. Made from composites, plywood and metals.

Requires adhesives that withstand vibration, dynamic loads, and harsh marine conditions.
