Epoxy recommended for waterproofing

Please tell me the epoxy with similar performance to Loctite Marine Epoxy (USA ONLY). This is a country where I cannot buy Loctite Marine Epoxy.

Hi @HanJIK,

Are you able to access G/Flex 650? That’s what we’ve recommended previously.

UK alternative to penetrator resin

Hi Damien, I would recommend looking into G/Flex 650. It is commonly available in Europe/UK, so I imagine that it will be cheaper there. It performs very similarly to the Loctite Marine Epoxy. We have tested it several times in our depth test chamber to 1000 meters with no leaks. The only difference that you will see is that it is less viscous than the Loctite Marine Epoxy, so you will get a little bit dripping down the cables in your penetrator (1-2 drops; it really isn’t much).

Can I use 650-8 G/flex epoxy?
Is the G/Flex 650 series suitable for use?

That’s what we’ve recommended previously, yes

Note that if this is for potting penetrators, you might be interested in our newly released WetLink penetrators instead, which don’t require any epoxy
