In ship engineering, propellers, as one of the core components, carry enormous power and important tasks. Ensuring the efficient operation of the propulsion system relies on precise bonding and sealing techniques. With the continuous development of marine thrusters, the demand for adhesive and sealing materials is also increasing. Today, Yilian will explore the adhesive solution for the overall system of marine thrusters and recommend several efficient products to help improve system performance and reliability.
The overall adhesive solution for Baigao High Material Marine Propulsion Control shell sealing – SIPC 1859
The control housing in the propulsion system carries important electronic control units, which need to ensure complete sealing to prevent the intrusion of moisture, dust, and other pollutants. To achieve this goal, SIPC 1859 is an extremely suitable silicone sealant.
SIPC 1859 has excellent impact resistance and mechanical vibration resistance, which can maintain sealing effect when the ship’s propulsion system is subjected to strong vibration and external pressure. Its self leveling and excellent weather resistance allow it to be exposed to marine environments for a long time while maintaining excellent sealing performance. In addition, SIPC 1859 also has waterproof and UV resistant properties, which can effectively protect the electronic components inside the control housing and avoid any damage from external factors.
Hand stick bonding – EP 2025
In the thruster system, the hand lever is a very important component responsible for controlling the movement of the thruster. In order to ensure that the handle does not fall off or loosen during intense operation, high-strength adhesive materials are required. EP 2025 is an ideal epoxy adhesive specifically designed for bonding hand rods.
EP 2025 has strong adhesive strength, which can firmly bond components made of different materials such as metal and plastic together, providing a long-lasting bonding effect. It has a fast curing time and high temperature resistance, making it suitable for the complex environment of marine propellers. In addition, EP 2025 also has strong corrosion resistance, which can effectively resist erosion factors such as moisture and salt spray in marine environments, ensuring the stability and long-term use of the handle.
Motor grouting – choose PUR 1680
Electric motor grouting is one of the key steps in marine propulsion systems. The internal circuits and components of the motor need to be effectively protected from moisture, dust, or other pollutants that can affect the stability and service life of the motor. To meet this demand, PUR 1680 provides an ideal solution as a high-quality polyurethane sealant.
PUR 1680 has excellent fluidity and permeability, which can evenly fill the gaps inside the motor and effectively prevent damage to the motor components. It has excellent water resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation performance, and can maintain stable operation of the motor in the marine environment of ships for a long time. At the same time, the temperature resistance of PUR 1680 enables it to cope with the high temperature environment of ship engine compartments, ensuring that the motor can work reliably in both high and low temperature environments.
Summary
In the overall system of marine propulsion, motor grouting, hand rod bonding, and control shell sealing are crucial links. By selecting appropriate adhesive materials, the performance, durability, and safety of thrusters can be effectively improved. The three products PUR 1680, EP 2025, and SIPC 1859 provide comprehensive solutions, demonstrating excellent performance in motor sealing, handle bonding, and control housing sealing, respectively.
Whether facing extreme environments such as high temperature, humidity, or seawater corrosion, these adhesive materials can provide strong support for marine thrusters. By using ELAPLUS’ high-performance adhesive products, you can significantly improve the stability and reliability of the propulsion system, ensuring its long-term stable operation in various complex environments.
