Commonly used in panel bonding and joint sealing applications

Multi-Purpose Sealant with Good UV Resistance
3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 is a single-component, moisture-curing, polyurethane sealant used to bond a wide variety of materials, including plastics, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), sheet molding compound (SMC), aluminum, steel, coated metal and wood. It exhibits high tensile strength, good UV resistance, low Shore A hardness and low modulus to maintain its functionality in a wide range of extreme service environments. Available in cartridge, sausage pack, pail and drum volumes to meet your application needs.

Recommended Applications

• Vertical and horizontal panel bonding and joint sealing
• Aluminum curtain walls and storefronts
• Transportation manufacturing (bus, rail, truck, trailer)
• Replacement of mechanical fasteners in many situations

Paintable after Skin Forms for Improved Appearance
3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 (PDF, 371.52 Kb) offers an alternative to mechanical fasteners and can replace rivets in some applications. It will bond dissimilar substrates and a wide selection of materials. This will perform in temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 194°F/90°C. Once skin forms (60-90 minutes), the sealant can be painted to improve the final finish.
