We recommend Dekasyl MS-5 for the installation of solar systems and roof racks.
High tack adhesive and sealant
DEKASYL MS-5 is a MS polymer-based adhesive with high adhesion and initial strength, which is suitable for creating elastic connections between components. Due to its high adhesive strength, clamping times can be reduced or clamping completely eliminated. In addition, DEKASYL MS-5 can also be used as a sealant if similar materials (with similar stiffness) are to be joined or if mechanical fastening methods are used.
Your advantages:
- Free from solvents, isocyanate and PVC
- Very good UV resistance and ageing resistance
- High initial strength
- Generally good adhesion without primer on
- various substrates
- Permanently elastic in the temperature range
from -40°C to +120°C
- Neutral, odourless and fast curing
- Can be painted over after skin formation (wet on wet),
this generally does not affect curing
- Compatible with most industrial brush or
paint systems, both alkyd resin and emulsion paints (due to the large number of different
types of industrial paints, a compatibility test
is recommended)
Product description
DEKASYL MS-5 is a MS polymer-based adhesive with high adhesion and initial strength, which is suitable for the production of elastic connections of components. Due to its high adhesive strength, clamping times can be reduced or clamping completely eliminated. In addition, DEKASYL MS-5 can also be used as a sealant when bonding similar materials (with similar stiffness) or when using mechanical fastening methods.
Application
- Elastic connections and seals in towing,
caravan, motorhome and truck construction.
- Bonding of windows, AT systems, solar module spoilers, semi-flexible solar modules or even
roof ducts
- Bonding of edge profiles on trailers with
aluminum or polyester
- Bonding of polyester parts with metal frames
Processing
DEKASYL MS-5 can be easily applied by hand or air gun at temperatures from +5°C to 35°C. For sealing, DEKASYL MS-5 should be further processed or smoothed within 12 minutes (at 20°C/50% relative humidity) with a spatula or putty knife previously dipped in a mild decafinisher. Avoid penetration of DEKAFINISHER between the joint sides and the sealant, as this leads to a loss of adhesive strength. For bonding, the substrates must be assembled within 15 minutes (at 20°C/50% rel. humidity) after application of DEKASYL MS-5. The higher the temperature, the shorter the processing time! In general, an adhesive layer of 2 mm is recommended if similar materials (with similar strength) are to be bonded. The greater the difference in thermal expansion, the thicker the adhesive layer should be. For further information, please contact DEKALIN. At a temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 50%, DEKASYL MS-5 can be painted over with most industrial paints after just 10 minutes. The best possible adhesion of paint coats is achieved when the paint is applied 4 hours after application of DEKASYL MS-5. Clean the tools or remove uncured residues of DEKASYL MS-5 with a clean, colorless cloth soaked with e.g. DEKACLEAN ULTRA (it is recommended to check beforehand whether the surface is attacked by this cleaner)
