Scigrip, a global supplier of adhesives solutions, exhibited a range of structural, methacrylate adhesives (MMAs) at METS 2017. Manny Tesfaye, SCIGRIP’s Director of Global Technical Services, also conducted technical demonstrations throughout the event.
Scigrip MMA typical marine applications include: Bonding large composite parts such as hull to deck joints, internal structure, stringers and cores; Interior and exterior fit out and assembly, and Assembly of steel and aluminium structural components.
Product highlights at METS 2017 included SG300, a high-performance methacrylate adhesive with a balance of strength and toughness for bonding metals, composites and thermoplastics. SG300 is ideally suited to internal or external bonding and replaces or reduces the need for mechanical fasteners. This product features excellent environmental and chemical resistance and is available in a range of working times for production flexibility.
SG230 HV is a two-component, 10:1 mix ratio product for bonding composite and other plastic parts with little or no surface preparation. SG230 features excellent fatigue and vibration resistance for key structural areas and can bond to metal structures with a simple priming process.
Both SG300 and SG230HV possess Lloyd’s Register approvals. This third-party verification of performance and production processes gives customers extra assurance of Scigrip’s commitment to quality.
