MS polymer adhesives and sealants - The Right Choice for the transport sector

Regardless of the type of vehicle, trains, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, and specialty vehicles can all benefit from MS polymer adhesives and sealants in terms of safety, strength, reliability, and efficiency.

Numerous Advantages of MS polymer systems

Vehicle assembly has been continuously challenged by increasing expectations and demands by the buyer - competitive pricing, governmental bodies - new safety regulations, and environmental conditions. Therefore, the use of MS polymer adhesives and sealants has increased remarkably in the past years: they are strong, reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

MS polymer adhesive and sealant systems do not contain harmful silicone, solvents or isocyanates yet they still form strong and flexible bonds and seals. The application process is also increased in efficiency since MS polymers require little to no surface preparation treatments, adhere to most substrates without a primer, and bond dissimilar materials. They also possess many beneficial properties which increase the performance of the solutions. These include:

• Water resistance: MS polymers form 100% watertight seals and bonds, and can be applied to damp or wet surfaces.
• Chemical resistance: modified silane polyethers are also resistant to most chemicals present in vehicle assembly lines including oil and fuels as well as cleaning substances.
• Flexibility: even the most demanding elastic bonding and sealing applications can be addressed with MS polymer solutions thanks to their extreme flexibility which is retained throughout their lifecycle.
• Weather resistance: as vehicles are often subject to the effects of the elements, MS polymers make excellent bonding and sealing solutions. MS polymers are weatherproof and last significantly longer than for example polyurethane-based systems.
• UV resistance: compared to silicone and polyurethane systems, MS polymer adhesives and sealants are more resistant to UV radiation and less prone to deterioration by it requiring less frequent maintenance when applied to vehicle parts exposed to UV rays.
