3M Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant 540 is a moisture-curing sealant that forms flexible, weather-resistant bonds. This single-component adhesive bonds dissimilar materials including plastics, sheet molding compound, aluminum, steel, coated metal, and wood in temperatures ranging from 40 F (40 C) to 194 F (90 C). Polyurethane sealants perform well in challenging industrial, transportation, and construction settings by creating durable elastomeric bonds that seal against the elements. High tensile strength, wea

  • MULTI-PURPOSE BONDING: Forms long lasting seals dissimilar materials such as plastics, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), sheet molding compound (SMC), aluminum, steel, coated metal and wood for increased design flexibility
  • FLEXIBLE BONDS: Maintains elasticity for shock absorption and long-term joint movement
  • PAINTABLE IN MINUTES: Forms a skin in 60-90 minutes that can be painted on once the sealant is fully cured
  • Weather Resistant: A distinct ability to excel in challenging outdoor industrial, transportation, and construction environments between -40 °F (-40 °C) and 194 °F (90 °C)”
  • EASY TO USE: Single component, moisture-curing sealant fills gaps and simplifies production

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 used for?

    3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 is used as a one-component, moisture-curing sealant that creates permanently elastic seals and bonds on a variety of materials such as aluminum, steel, glass, concrete and painted surfaces.

  2. How long does the sealant take to cure?

    The curing time of this sealant depends upon various factors such as temperature, humidity levels and thickness applied. Generally, it can be expected to fully cure within seven days at an ambient temperature of approximately 70°F (21°C) with normal humidity levels.

  3. Is this product easy to apply without professional assistance?

    Yes! It can be easily applied using standard caulking equipment or manual application with cartridges. Just make sure you follow proper safety precautions and guidelines provided by the manufacturer before starting any application process.

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 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.

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 sealant cartridges and 400ml/600ml sausage packs.
