New polyurethane acrylate structural adhesive escorts ships

Scott Bader has developed CrysticCrestomer1152 polyurethane acrylate structural adhesive for British Navy minesweepers, especially for offshore wind field support vessels of CTrukBoats.

Utilizing hybrid structural resins can reduce weight by 40% compared to traditional aluminum workboats. CTruk-built boats utilize Crestomer 1152 to bond hull stringers and walls, beams, engine mounts and hull panel seams, including main deck girders, although this one is more susceptible to high impact.

Crystic 621 is a new polyester urethane acrylate adhesive uniquely formulated with a blend of polyesters for high performance, cost-effective, and easy handling with a putty gun. In addition, with this adhesive, gels and paints can be applied to the roof of a boat without additional processing work.
