Introduction to Elastic Bonding

Adhesives are increasingly used in modern day assembly operations. Nowhere is this becoming more evident than in boat and ship building. The simplicity, tolerance and ease of application and the use of Sikaflex Marine Systems combined with their elastic properties when cured make them ideal for the construction of leisure boats, yachts, ferries, cruise ships and even offshore rigs. The Sikaflex elastic bonding systems contribute to the reduction of localised stress situations, reducing the transmission of noise and helping eliminate corrosion and leak problems. Sikaflex elastic adhesive systems have allowed the introduction of a completely new approach to joining technology in both leisure boat and commercial ship building.
