Reliable composite solutions optimized for production
Gurit’s advanced composite solutions help builders of production recreational vessels simplify manufacturing, reduce weight, and enhance performance. With deep application knowledge, class-approved products, and 40 years of continuous innovation in the marine sector, our materials experts, engineers and technical support teams work with yards to minimize waste and achieve faster build times, while delivering reliability, long term quality and energy efficiency to their customers.
At Gurit, we are committed to sustainability, and this is reflected in our product range. Lightweight cores for sandwich construction contribute to lower fuel usage; smart kitting solutions lead to lower resin use and minimized waste on the shop floor; and products such as recycled PET foam core and bio based laminating resins help lower carbon footprint and improve health & safety – giving yards and owners the opportunity to reduce their environmental impact.
Products & Services for Production Boats
Prepreg
If you’re looking for a performance edge, we have a range of prepregs available for marine applications. A trusted choice of builders and boatowners for many years, SE75 and SE84LV have become the benchmark for boatbuilders, delivering low weight, strength, reliability, and performance.
Core Material
Choosing a foam core sandwich structure for your production boat brings reduced structural weight and more versatile design options, lower maintenance costs and time due to corrosion resistance and rot mitigation, while maintaining a high level of performance.
Gurit offers a range of foam core options, which can be mixed and matched throughout the vessel, to suit varying performance requirements and project costs: Corecell, PVC, PET and balsa.
All our core materials can be supplied in optimized kits for an even smoother manufacturing process.
Laminating Resins
Gurit is an established leader in epoxy resins for marine applications, bringing improved health & safety, performance, reliability and quality to production yards around the world. Whether your preference is wet lamination or infusion, our versatile and ‘bio-based as standard’ Ampreg and PRIME ranges have options to suit your location, cure times and processes.
Spabond Adhesives
The Spabond range of epoxy adhesives set a benchmark for marine adhesives 40 years ago, and since then Gurit has continued to develop and refine the range to ensure ultimate performance and reliability in marine applications. Improved health & safety, better handling and processing are just some of the features you can expect from our Spabond 400 and 500 ranges. The versatile Spabond 5 Minute adhesive is an ideal option for tacking and secondary bonding.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING & TECHNICAL SERVICES
Building a production boat involves more variables than other types of vessels. Gurit engineers work alongside your teams to develop optimal composite structures that satisfy designer vision, builder efficiency, and market demands. From streamlining production and simplifying processing techniques, delivering aesthetic and ergonomic goals, to meeting budgets and timelines – our engineers have you covered.
