17 November 2009, Isle of Wight, UK – SP, the marine business of Gurit, has today launched a selection of new and innovative marine products at the trade exhibition METS, taking place at the Amsterdam RAI Exhibition Centre. <\/p>\n
Marine Adhesive Spabond 540
\nSP’s new Spabond 540 is a modified epoxy adhesive for bonding polyester and laminates and is the ideal product to suit the current trend in the production boat market to build ever larger boats. It fills a gap in the market where polyester GRP production boat builders need a long working time structural adhesive for bonding hull-to-decks and bulkheads on large yachts, typically in excess of 40ft. <\/p>\n
Spabond 540 offers not only exceptional impact toughness and peel strength but also low exotherm and shrinkage in thick bondlines. It has excellent gap filling properties and a sag resistance of up to 30mm on a vertical surface and is also available with two resins.<\/p>\n
Foaming Epoxy System Ampreg F230
\nThe new Ampreg F230 is a foaming epoxy system which offers high strength and toughness designed to be used in the manufacture of marine rudder foils. It has been formulated to be used with SP’s Ampreg 21 range of hardeners which ensure an outstanding chemical bond is achieved between the foil skins and the expanded epoxy foam. <\/p>\n
Unlike other products on the market, SP’s Ampreg F230 is available with a range of Ampreg 21 hardeners allowing the speed of the system to be tailored to the size of the cavity, resulting in reduced exotherm and shrinkage and higher quality parts. <\/p>\n
Epoxy Infusion System PRIME™ 20 ULV (Ultra Low Viscosity)
\nAs the next generation of SP’s PRIME™ 20 epoxy infusion system, the new PRIME™ 20 ULV is specifically designed for use in a variety of resin infusion processes and has been formulated to give exceptionally low mixed viscosity for the infusion of large composite structures.<\/p>\n
Its toughness and infusion times are two times that of other systems and it is also available with three hardeners that offer a range of working times and cure speeds. PRIME™ 20 ULV has already been used successfully for the single-operation moulding of components ranging from narrow carbon yacht masts to 80′ yacht hulls.<\/p>\n
SP representatives are available on stand 01.411 during METS, which continues until Thursday 19 November, to provide further information, samples and, if required, to demonstrate the benefits that the new, world-leading products can bring to future builds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
