Main features

  • Fast Moisture-Cure Sealing
  • Non-Sag Marine Application
  • Flexible Bonds for Disassembly

Product Description

3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 4200FC is a one-part, moisture-curing polyurethane paste for bonding and sealing marine joints and hardware. Its medium-strength elastomeric seal is watertight and weather resistant while allowing later disassembly. At 73 deg F and 50% relative humidity, the typical tack-free time is 1 to 2 hours and the typical cure rate is 4 mm per 24 hours. The sealant can be used with wood, fiberglass, gelcoat, selected plastics, and metals; some plastics require testing and metals may require primer. It is used above and below the waterline on deck-to-hull joints, portholes, deck fittings, rub rails, screw holes, and stanchion supports.

Key features

  • Fast Moisture Cure: Forms a tack-free surface in a typical 1 to 2 hours at 73 deg F and 50% relative humidity.
  • Flexible Disassemblable Seal: The medium-strength elastomeric bond remains flexible and permits later disassembly.
  • Non-Sag Marine Application: The caulkable paste stays non-sagging for marine joints and hardware above or below the waterline.

Applications

Suitable for fiberglass deck-to-hull joints, wood-to-fiberglass bonding, portholes, deck fittings, rub-rail attachment, screw holes, and stanchion supports.
