Sabre Adhesives introduced Buccaneer Boats to silyl modified polymer adhesives and sealant technology. These adhesives and sealants are specially formulated to meet the demanding requirements of the marine industry. They have improved durability, adhesion spectrum and UV resistance compared to traditional adhesives. Additionally, these adhesives and sealants have the ability to bond a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, enabling Buccaneer to achieve process efficiency gains throughout various production processes.
