Spabond™ 400

Spabond™ 400 is a new generation, structural epoxy adhesive for high dynamic load applications.  Based on the tried and tested Spabond™ brand, it offers a number of advances vs. legacy systems including: Improved Health and Safety, better handling and processing properties and a range of sag resistances to meet all need.  The simplified portfolio comprises of 4 systems, with the same hardeners used across all:

Spabond™ 435: for thin bond-lines up to 10mm and large surface areas

Spabond™ 440: for 20mm bond-lines, ideal for use with automated mixing machines

Spabond™ 445: very highly sag resistance up to 30mm, for high performance projects

Spabond™ 400FR: structural fire retardant epoxy adhesive

Case Studies

  • Neo 570C
    Neo 570C

    The Neo 570c project commenced in earnest in 2019. Working with longtime partner and Gurit distributor Resintex, the NEO team selected a full complement of Gurit products to achieve the weight savings needed, opting for a full prepreg carbon fiber hull, deck, structure and interior.

  • Baltic 67
    Baltic 67 Performance cruiser

    Baltic Yachts drew on their 48 years of design and building experience to create a full composite boat, with a glass hull and full carbon deck. From concept right through each of the build stages, they worked in conjunction with Gurit Engineering and materials supply to realise their vision. Using Gurit epoxy SPRINT™ and Corecell™ M foam, Baltic were able to produce a strong, lightweight structure with a significant performance edge.
