Sikaflex Products for Marine Application

Deck caulking

For timber decks that are completely watertight and weather resistant, Sika has developed Sikaflex 290 DC. Extremely easy to use, this one-part polyurethane deck caulking compound can be sanded flush with the deck when cured to give a beautifully neat, clean finish.

Sealing

Resistant to weathering, seawater and ultra-violet radiation, Sikaflex 291 is the perfect all-rounder: an all-purpose flexible marine sealant  that bonds extremely well to all the standard materials used in boat construction. Its outstanding elasticity ensures a durable, long-lasting seal.

Sikaflex Now Starring on TV

Sikaflex In Marine Use

Benefits of Sikaflex for Marine Application:

Sika pioneered the development of one-component polyurethanes for marine use. Our global technical resources have enabled us to produce a wide range of products, each aimed at a specific marine application. 

Although the individual product characteristics vary, Sikaflex products all share the following features:

Sikaflex in Boat Construction and Maintenance

Since the middle of the 17th century, when the industrial revolution started, to the present day, the process of joining has changed dramatically. Nowadays the most advanced technology in marine is based on elastic adhesives. Historically no technique in ship building has evolved as strongly over the centuries as the technology of deck caulking.  In the early days, woollen or cotton caulking yarn, in combination with bituminous materials, were employed. Nowadays the use of elastomeric materials are  common worldwide, especially as these elastic sealants not only fill the joint but additionally seal and bond similar and dissimilar substrates simultaneously.
