What are the benefits of Silyl Modified Polymers (SMP) adhesives and sealants?

Boost your productivity and quality while reducing your cost-in-use

  • Increase productivity with reduced number of preparation steps.
  • Robust process to limit risk of incorrect surface preparation and need for rework and customer claims.
  • Reduce cost-in-use by eliminating the need to buy chemicals, facilitate stock management, free-up production floor space, and reduced needs for consumable.

Protect your employees, customers and the environment

  • 100% isocyanate & solvent Free No need for REACH isocyanate training / No pictogram
  • Less waste thanks to a more robust process, and less used product packaging
  • Reduced needs for VOC solvent based products
  • Easy to clean off on hands and tools
  • Long shelf life of 12 to 18 month 

Performances for more robustness and flexibility!

  • Easy to gun at low temperature
  • Improved ageing performance
  • Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
  • Stable mechanical characteristics across a wide range of temperature
  • Cured material remain flexible at low temperatures
