What Types Of Weicon Products are Used in the Marine Industry?
This is actually a very diverse range.
We thought the best way to illustrate what's included would be to list just some examples of the various types of IMPA registered Weicon products below along with a short description of what they do.
Some are fairly self-explanatory of course (e.g. Super Glues) though others are a little more complex. Each section includes a link where you can browse all the IMPA products of that type. Of course, we're here to help to. If you have any questions about any, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll assist whenever we can.%20Catalogue/Weicon%20IMPA%20Range%20Top%20Showcase.jpg)
