MARINE PREPREG AND ADHESIVE MATERIALS

MAKO prepregs excel in the marine industry due to their specialized properties that are uniquely suited to withstand the demanding conditions of maritime environments. These resins offer exceptional water resistance, crucial for preventing degradation in prolonged exposure to seawater. They also boast superior corrosion resistance, protecting marine structures from the damaging effects of saltwater and humidity, thereby reducing maintenance needs and extending lifespan. High mechanical strength and durability are integral features of MAKO resins, ensuring that marine components can withstand heavy loads, impacts, and the stresses encountered at sea. Glass scrims are incorporated into MAKO carbon fiber prepregs to reduce galvanic corrosion in saltwater environments.

MARINE ADHESIVES

MAKO manufactures paste adhesive offsets to long lead time, high-priced items and can often provide superior lap shear properties and cost reduction. Use the form below to request a Technical Data Sheet for the right marine-grade adhesive.  If your boat will use an infusion or wet layup process, our affiliate PTM&W can provide a low-viscosity liquid resin kit with superior properties to others in the market, while assuring they are MADE IN AMERICA with onshore supply chain for consistent resin batches and lower risk of supply chain frustration.

Applications
