Shipping industry

In hull construction, structural adhesives are employed to bond hull plates and support structures, enhancing the overall strength and durability of the hull while reducing the reliance on welding and riveting. This also improves the flexibility and fatigue resistance of the structure.

Sealants are applied to the deck, cabin, and hatch cover to ensure water resistance in these areas and prevent seawater leakage into the hull, particularly at the connecting gaps of the hatch cover, where effective sealing is crucial.

Anti-corrosion adhesives or coatings are used on the surface and interior of the hull to protect the metal from seawater and salt spray, especially on areas above and below the waterline. This application helps extend the service life of the ship.

Additionally, sealant is used to secure the bridge and cabin windows between the glass and window frame, preventing rain and seawater intrusion while maintaining clear visibility and ensuring the safety of navigation.
