Nautic Light is a polyester adhesive for professional use in the construction of yachts, boats, canoes, caravans and other laminate structures. Its primary use is for sandwich constructions, where polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride foams are glued to polyester or epoxy laminates. It may also be used for joining other elements made of wood, plywood, glass fibre and other materials, but only in places that do not transmit large mechanical loads or which are additionally strengthened by laminates. In addition, thanks to a specially chosen rheology, the Nautic Light Tix 30 adhesive does not trickle down vertical surfaces when applied in thicker layers (ca. 3 cm).
The use of special fillers makes it possible to obtain a very low mass density (ca. 0.6 g/cm3) and reduce shrinkage when curing to below 1 %.
Nautic Light is available in two versions: Nautic Light 15 and Nautic Light 30. They differ in gelation time (15 and 30 minutes, respectively) and mechanical properties. The versions Nautic Light 15W and Nautic Light 30W are equipped with a colour change indicator that shows if the adhesive has been properly mixed with the hardener.
Substrates:
- polyester laminates,
- epoxy laminates,
- plywood,
- wood,
- rigid polyurethane and PVC foams.
Caution: The adhesive should not be applied directly on one-component acrylic and nitrocellulose products.
Surface preparation:
- polyester and epoxy laminates: degrease, dry grind P80 - P120, degrease again with a silicone remover,
- plywood, wood: dry grind P80 - P120, then remove dust.
Mixing ratio:
NAUTIC LIGHT - 100 parts by weight,
Hardener - 1 to 2 parts by weight.
Supplementary products:
Hardener - methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (e.g. METOX 50).
Application life after mixing with the hardener:
NAUTIC LIGHT 15: 10 to 20 minutes at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
NAUTIC LIGHT 30: 25 to 35 minutes at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
NAUTIC LIGHT TIX 30: 25 to 35 minutes at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
Curing time:
NAUTIC LIGHT 15: 1.5 to 2 hours at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
NAUTIC LIGHT 30: 2 to 3 hours at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
NAUTIC LIGHT TIX 30: 2 to 3 hours at 20°C (hardener: 2 %).
Coatability:
Polyester finishing filler, polyester spray filler, acrylic primers. |
