Wessex 4701 (UW 47 adhesive) is a two component epoxide based adhesive capable of curing at temperatures as low as 3°C. The material may be used to make adhesive bonds to substrates totally immersed in fresh or in salt water and is more tolerant of oil and water.
Capable of curing at very low temperatures for year-round use.
Forms strong adhesive structural bonds on substrates immersed in fresh or salt water.
Tolerance to oil and water contamination, ideal for real-world conditions.
Robust, epoxide-based system engineered for critical underwater and marine applications.
Wessex 4701 (UW 47 adhesive) is a two component epoxide based adhesive capable of curing at temperatures as low as 3°C and is more tolerant of oil and water than most epoxide adhesives. The material may be used to make adhesive structural bonds to substrates totally immersed in fresh or in salt water.
Yes, Wessex 4701 maintains strong adhesion when applied fully submerged in fresh or seawater, enabling in-situ marine repairs without needing to drain or dry the work area.
When the resin and hardener are mixed the gel time of a 500 g batch of Wessex 4701 is approximately 100 minutes at 20°C which will allow ample working time for most purposes.
You can apply Wessex 4701 by trowel, spatula, brush, or roller, accommodating different repair styles and surfaces. For more information, please contact us.
Wessex System 520 is a high-performance epoxy primer formulated to work in combination with Wessex System 4701 adhesive for optimal results in dry, controlled conditions. Its low-viscosity formulation also makes it suitable for certain underwater applications where optimal penetration and wet-out are required.
The Wessex 4701 adhesive is tolerant of some contamination, best results are obtained on well prepared surfaces.
