Adhesives for Use Underwater
Abstract
An investigation was conducted into finding materials and procedures for mixing, applying, and curing rapid-setting epoxy adhesives under seawater. Separate formulations were developed for use at 5C and 20C. They were easily mixed and applied underwater from a plastic cartridge. A simple system of chemical heating was found to accelerate underwater curing, especially in cold waters.
