In the vast expanse of marine manufacturing, innovation is the compass that guides you toward greater efficiency. From crafting state-of-the-art vessels to developing cutting-edge technologies for marine care, marine manufacturing is a dynamic playground of creativity and invention.

Join us on this voyage of exploration as we dive into the world of four innovative solutions revolutionizing marine manufacturing, catering to the diverse needs of boating, fishing and the broader marine ecosystem.

Masking Tape

Masking tape ensures clean and defined lines during painting, coating and sealing tasks. It helps create sharp edges and boundaries, preventing overspray and ensuring a professional finish. It is also versatile and adaptable to different surfaces and shapes, making it indispensable for intricate masking requirements in boat construction, repair and maintenance.

The Green UV Resistant Masking Tape from 3M™ boasts reliable UV resistance for up to 14 days outdoors, ensuring durability in various weather conditions. With its strong adhesive, the tape securely grips a variety of substrates, delivering consistent and crisp paint lines by resisting bleed-through.

FrogTape^® 325 Pink from Shurtape^® is a performance-grade masking tape designed to withstand temperatures as high as 325 °F for up to 30 minutes. This durable tape also ensures sharp paint lines, clean removal and a consistent unwind, making it a user-friendly solution for marine applications and environments.

Absorbent Booms

In the marine industry, spills and leaks are inevitable, posing risks to water bodies and ecosystems. Absorbent booms, designed with high absorbency materials, swiftly contain and absorb oil, fuel and chemical spills on water surfaces. This not only prevents contamination but also minimizes clean-up time and costs significantly. Absorbent booms are also lightweight, flexible and easy to deploy, making them ideal for quick response and containment in emergencies.

Universal adsorbent booms from Brady^® offer versatility for containment needs both indoors and outdoors. These booms are suitable for land and indoor applications, effectively absorbing water-based, oil-based and chemical fluids.

Label Printers

Efficient labeling is crucial for inventory management, product identification and regulatory compliance. Label printers allow marine manufacturers to create customized, high-quality labels on demand, eliminating the need for pre-printed labels and reducing waste. These printers offer versatility in printing various types of labels, including barcodes, QR codes, safety warnings and product specifications, ensuring accurate and clear communication across different departments and teams.

Efficiently create, preview and print labels from your smartphone with the portable Bluetooth label printer from Brady. Access Brady’s Express Labels Mobile app on iOS or Android to easily customize labels using your phone’s keyboard and robust BLE Bluetooth^® technology. Improve productivity by importing data, saving and sharing files effortlessly and accessing a wide array of label options including barcodes, fonts and symbols.

Adhesives and Sealants

Adhesives and sealants offer versatile bonding options for materials like fiberglass, metal, wood and composites, eliminating the need for traditional fasteners to enable lightweight designs and improve fuel efficiency. Advanced adhesive technologies resist water, chemicals and corrosion while allowing for complex shapes and seamless joints, enhancing aesthetics and performance.

3M’s marine 5200 adhesive/sealant polyurethane polymer adhesive provides durable bonding capabilities both above and below the waterline. It offers extended working time and achieves handling strength within 48 hours. Its tough and flexible nature ensures strong bonds that withstand vibration, swelling, shrinking and shock.
