Eliminate Downtime
Single component sealers require significant dry time before components can be handled or further processed in your shop. Our high-performance 3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer operates with a two-part cartridge and nozzle that self-mixes with a perfect formulation every time allowing for fast easy application and quicker cycle time than with one part sealers. 3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer may be top coated with paints in 45 minutes under normal conditions.Match OEM Appearances
This professional-quality black seam sealer can be used to seal vertical or horizontal seams on automotive surfaces primed with a 2K urethane, 2K epoxy primer, or clean, sanded paint. Its slight flow-out softens on the edges, without tooling, giving a rounded appearance. This flexible rounded seam seal is suitable for duplicating factory door skin seams and matching OEM beads.Durable, Fast-Cure Formula Creates a High Quality Seal
Our flexible formula works within a wide range of temperatures with no shrinking or cracking to achieve strong, durable construction. It offers a fast setup time of 10 minutes, decreasing downtime and allowing technicians to continue repair procedures quicker for increased productivity. Moreover, the fast-cure formula means there is a limited time of uncured product on the car and the risk of damaging the seam by disturbing uncured seam sealer is greatly reduced. This enables technicians to quickly achieve a long-lasting, high quality seam seal.Using the Seam Sealer Effectively
3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer can be used with the following 3M™ Applicators: PN 08117 (manual), PN 08571 (manual), and PN 09930 (pneumatic). Also use 3M™ Mix Nozzle: PN 08193 (6/bag), PN 8194 (50/box) and 3M™ OEM Sealer Tip PNs 08201 – 08205.The following times have been determined with ambient air temperature and substrate temperature at 70°F (21°C) and are considered typical values:
- WORK TIME: 10 minutes
- MIX NOZZLE DWELL TIME: 6 minutes
- CURE TIME: 4 hours
- PAINT TIME: 45 minutes
- TENSILE STRENGTH: 2517
- PSI ELONGATION: 390%
3M best practice is that all sealers, unless designated specifically for use on bare metal, be applied to properly prepared automotive paint or primer. Apply only to surfaces primed with a 2K urethane, 2K epoxy primer, or clean, sanded paint. Acid etch primers should never be in direct contact with seam sealer. Prior to application, scuff primed surface with a Scotch-Brite™ General Purpose Hand Pad, PN 07448 (Ultrafine).
