Marine Adhesives, Sealants, and Specialist Materials

Marine environments demand materials that deliver durability, corrosion resistance, and regulatory compliance under constant exposure to moisture, salt, vibration, and UV radiation. Silmid supports commercial shipbuilders, naval defence programmes, and leisure marine manufacturers with a comprehensive portfolio of specification-compliant marine-grade products.
With over forty years of experience supplying high-performance materials to regulated industries, Silmid provides trusted adhesives, sealants, coatings, composites, and surface preparation solutions designed to perform in demanding maritime conditions. Our global supply capability ensures reliable access to approved products that support both new build and in-service maintenance programmes.

Marine Applications and Capabilities

Commercial Shipbuilding and Offshore Vessels

Commercial marine vessels and offshore platforms require materials engineered for structural strength, watertight sealing, and long-term environmental resistance. Silmid supplies adhesives and sealants suitable for structural bonding, deck fittings, pipe sealing, and corrosion protection, supporting operational safety and vessel longevity.

Naval and Defence Marine Programmes

Naval vessels demand materials that meet stringent defence specifications and performance standards. Silmid supports defence marine applications with approved products suitable for structural bonding, insulation systems, compartment sealing, and onboard system protection, ensuring reliability in mission-critical environments.

Leisure Marine and Yacht Manufacturing

Luxury yachts and leisure craft require materials that balance structural performance with aesthetic finish. Silmid provides bonding and finishing solutions suitable for composite hulls, interior installations, glazing, decking, and fittings, helping manufacturers maintain quality, durability, and visual standards.

Lightweight Composite and Structural Solutions

Weight reduction plays a vital role in improving vessel speed, fuel efficiency, and overall performance. Silmid supports marine composite manufacturing with lightweight bonding solutions, compatible with advanced composite substrates, sandwich panels, and honeycomb structures.

Our portfolio includes low-density adhesives and sealants designed to maintain structural integrity while contributing to reduced overall vessel mass. These solutions are particularly valuable in high-performance marine craft and naval platforms where weight optimisation directly impacts operational efficiency.

Corrosion Protection and Environmental Resistance

Marine environments present constant exposure to saltwater, humidity, and temperature variation. Silmid supplies coatings, sealants, and surface treatments developed to resist corrosion, prevent water ingress, and extend service life in harsh maritime conditions.

Our products support surface preparation, metal treatment, and protective finishing processes that help maintain vessel integrity while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Fire Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Marine materials must meet strict fire safety and regulatory requirements, particularly in passenger vessels and naval applications. Silmid supplies products formulated to meet marine fire retardancy standards and international safety regulations, supporting compliance without compromising material performance.

Our approved portfolio helps manufacturers and maintenance providers meet classification society requirements and marine safety standards, ensuring safe onboard environments for crew and passengers.

Global Supply and Technical Support

Operating in over 100 countries, Silmid combines technical expertise with flexible global logistics. Our 24/7 e-commerce platform, small-volume repack services, and responsive customer support help marine customers reduce downtime and maintain programme schedules.

Whether supporting new vessel construction, retrofit projects, or in-service maintenance, Silmid delivers reliable access to approved marine materials worldwide.
