MS Polymer
MS polymer, or modified silane, is a single-part, moisture-cure elastomeric adhesive and sealant. It is paintable, primerless on many substrates, and contains no isocyanates or solvents, which makes it low-hazard to handle. It bonds and seals in one product across metal, glass, wood, and many plastics, with good weather and ultraviolet resistance.

How MS polymer cures
MS polymer cures by reacting with moisture from the air, forming a flexible elastomeric bond. In the warm, humid conditions across South East Asia that moisture is readily available, which generally supports cure, though it can shorten the working time, so the skin and cure times should be confirmed for local conditions. Because it carries no isocyanates or solvents, it is low-hazard, which simplifies storage, ventilation, and worker protection. Confirm the working window on the product Technical Data Sheet.
Where it fits
MS polymer suits elastic bonding and sealing in one step, in construction, transport, signage, and body-panel work, where joints move and need to stay sealed. It is paintable and primerless on many substrates, so it fits finishing workflows, and its weather and ultraviolet resistance suits outdoor exposure. It bonds metal, glass, wood, and many plastics. Confirm substrate suitability on the product Technical Data Sheet.

Questions about MS Polymer.
MS polymer, or modified silane, is a single-part moisture-cure elastomer used for elastic bonding and sealing in one product. It bonds metal, glass, wood, and many plastics, is paintable and primerless on many substrates, and suits construction, transport, and signage joints that move. Confirm the application on the product Technical Data Sheet.
MS polymer contains no isocyanates or solvents, which makes it low-hazard and simplifies storage, ventilation, and worker protection. Handling and protective-equipment guidance is set out on the product safety data sheet. Confirm the handling requirements there before use.
MightyLoc TaftGrip skins in about 5 to 10 minutes, reaches a functional cure in about 24 hours, and full cure in about 7 days. The warm, humid local climate generally supports moisture cure and can shorten the working time. Confirm the working window for your conditions on the TaftGrip Technical Data Sheet.
Yes, MS polymer is paintable, which is one reason it fits finishing workflows, and it is primerless on many substrates. Confirm paint compatibility and any substrate that needs a primer on the product Technical Data Sheet.
