Wessex Resins and Adhesives has worked with the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Energy to develop and manufacture underwater epoxy resin systems. The epoxy resin systems that we produce are used in a wide variety of applications which are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Our resins are used by the marine industry, the Ministry of Defense (for repair work on submarines and ships), dock and harbour boards and the offshore oil industry. The range of underwater epoxy systems available allows repair work to be completed on most materials in extreme and adverse conditions.
