Creates Flexible Seals on Expansion Joints
3M™ Polyurethane Construction Sealant 525 is a single-component, moisture-curing polyurethane sealant used to seal construction expansion joints. It can seal a wide variety of materials, including plastics, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), sheet molding compound (SMC), aluminum, steel, coated metal and wood. It creates a strong, permanent elastic bond with elongation of over 800%. It will seal a wide selection of materials, including concrete, wood, PVC and metal. This adhesive will perform in temperatures ranging from -22°F/-40°C to 176°F/80°C. Once skin has formed, this sealant can be painted to improve the final finish. Available in cartridges, sausage packs and bulk format to meet your application needs.Recommended Applications
- Sealing expansion joints
Understanding Polyurethane Sealants
Polyurethane sealants provide strong, flexible durable elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements. These sealants excel in challenging industrial, transportation and construction applications. Polyurethane sealants are available in a wide variety of Shore A hardness, open time and colors to meet many application needs. Choose a 3M Manual or Pneumatic Applicator for dispensing 3M adhesives sealant cartridges and 400ml/600ml sausage packs.Bringing Better Ideas to the Surface through Science and Innovation
