IMO-Certified Excellence: The New Frontier of Teak Caulking

Share:

ADVANTSEAL DC by Vaber Industriale is a one-component marine sealant technology based on advanced polymeric elastomers, specifically developed for teak deck caulking.

In the world of yachting – where every detail must strike the perfect balance between aesthetics, performance, and durability – even the choice of a sealant becomes a matter of design and engineering. It is in this context that ADVANTSEAL DC, the latest innovation by Vaber Industriale, takes center stage. The Italian company has long specialized in high-performance adhesive and sealing technologies, and this product reflects its dedication to excellence.

ADVANTSEAL DC is a one-component yacht deck sealant based on advanced polymeric elastomers, specifically developed for the caulking of teak decks. Teak is a living material that moves and breathes with time and temperature – making flexible marine sealant solutions essential to ensure resistance over time.

Designed for the sea – Certified for safety

Every element on board is constantly exposed to harsh marine conditions: salt, sunlight, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures. ADVANTSEAL DC was created to withstand these challenges, delivering durable, flexible, and secure sealing with no compromise.

Most importantly, ADVANTSEAL DC is certified according to IMO sealant (International Maritime Organization) standards, a crucial benchmark for materials used in shipbuilding and refitting. This certification confirms that the product meets the highest international safety and performance criteria for use aboard vessels, further proving its reliability and superior quality.

Key features

• Exceptional elasticity, ideal for teak’s natural movement
• Outstanding resistance to seawater and weathering
• Superior UV protection, with no yellowing or surface degradation
Sanding capability after curing, for a flawless finish
Low VOC and solvent-free, ensuring a safe and environmentally responsible application
• Primerless adhesion on teak and marine substrates
• IMO-compliant, meeting the highest safety standards in the maritime sector

A sealant for demanding professionals

ADVANTSEAL DC is ready to use, easily applied with manual or pneumatic guns, and available in 310 ml cartridges. It’s designed for professionals working in shipyards, boatyards, or high-end refitting projects – where both technical performance and visual appeal are paramount. This makes it a top-tier choice among marine sealant technology solutions on the market.

Specialized by nature

Within the Vaber product range, ADVANTSEAL DC complements the well-known ADVANTSEAL PC, which is primarily designed for structural bonding in industrial applications. While ADVANTSEAL PC is suitable for metals and plastics and can be overpainted, ADVANTSEAL DC stands out for its marine specialization. It offers superior seawater resistance, sanding after curing, and an impressive 350% elongation rate, making it ideal for natural wood applications like teak.

More than a sealant: a statement of certified quality

ADVANTSEAL DC is not just a yacht deck sealant. It’s a technical and aesthetic solution designed to last, enhancing deck finishes and offering peace of mind to shipowners and professionals alike.
Because at sea – more than anywhere – excellence lies in the details, and certification matters.
