Stormoprene Marine Grade 2-Part Contact Adhesive (5L)

Stormoprene™ Marine Grade Contact Adhesive is a specially formulated two-part polychloroprene-based adhesive system designed for high-performance bonding of Hypalon and other natural and synthetic rubber surfaces where high-strength bonds are required in demanding applications.

It is formulated for use in the manufacture and repair of RIBs, inflatable boats, liferafts, diving suits, wetsuits, and other marine and industrial applications that require resistance to salt water, oil, fuels, and similar environments.

Key Features

• Easy-to-mix two-part system supplied with activator curing agent.
• Easy application by brush or roller.
• Contact bonds in 10 to 15 minutes, with full cure in 48 hours.
• Shelf life of 3 to 12 months unopened. Mixed adhesive has a pot life of approximately 3 to 4 hours.

The adhesive can be used as a single-component glue on many fabrics. However, the activator must be mixed with the adhesive when bonding Hypalon fabric.

Securely Bonds Hypalon

Developed specifically for bonding Hypalon, this adhesive takes into account the unique properties of the material. Hypalon is hardwearing, flexible, and resistant to chemicals, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet light, but these same properties make it difficult to bond. Stormoprene is formulated to ensure a strong, reliable bond on Hypalon surfaces.

Withstands Extreme Environmental Conditions

Many Hypalon products are exposed to harsh conditions such as salt water, fuels, chemicals, heat, and prolonged sunlight. Boats, marine fenders, barges, and wetsuits experience significant wear in these environments. This adhesive is temperature resistant from -30°C to 120°C and offers excellent resistance to sea water and chemicals, helping maintain a secure bond under demanding conditions.

Directions for Use

1. Mix components A (adhesive) and B (curing agent) for approximately five minutes. Mix in the proportions supplied, or at a ratio of 25:1 by weight.
2. Apply an even coat of the mixed adhesive to both surfaces using a brush, roller coater, or serrated trowel. Allow to dry for 5 to 15 minutes, or until dry to the touch.
3. Note: Applying two thin coats is recommended for maximum adhesion. Allow the first coat to dry for approximately 20 to 30 minutes before applying the final coat. Allow the final coat to dry for 5 to 15 minutes.
4. Join the surfaces together using as much pressure as possible to prevent air entrapment. Bonded components may be handled within minutes.
