Composite Wall Systems Assembled With Structural Adhesive

According to Jon Inge Brattekas, managing director of Marine Composites AS, "We chose Araldite 2015 for its particularly good adhesion to GRP and because of its gap-filling capacity. Also, many locations in Norway are exposed to the elements, and Araldite 2015 has a very high resistance to seawater and can withstand ambient temperatures, which can vary between -40degF (-40degC) and 95degF (35degC)."

Marine Composites AS wall systems comprise individual modules of various sizes that are assembled like LEGO toy blocks to form buildings. Technicians begin each wall section by degreasing and lightly abrading surfaces to be bonded.
