Chem Link M1 is a moisture cure, multi-purpose structural adhesive/sealant designed for bonding and sealing a wide range of construction materials. M-1 forms a tough, elastic & waterproof seal to most roofing materials, masonry, wood, glass, aluminum and foam.
M-1 is a moisture-curing polyether adhesive/sealant for interior and exterior construction joints. It installs in damp, dry, or cold conditions, skins quickly, and cures to a tough, flexible seal with Class 35 joint movement. The non-slump formula will not bubble on damp surfaces, will not shrink, and shows strong UV color stability. Water-free chemistry means low VOC and no isocyanates; cleanup is easy with alcohol while uncured. This SKU is Dark Bronze in a 10.1 oz cartridge.
