STP Polyether: Manus Bond 75AM

Manus-Bond 75-AM Marine Xtreme Sealant

Manus-Bond® 77-MA Marine Adhesive sealant is a one-component, high-strength, and versatile elastic adhesive/sealant based on silyl-modified polymer technology. 77-MA cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture to form a tough, yet flexible, water-resistant, durable, adhesive/sealant. 77-MA is solvent and isocyanate free. 77-MA provides advantages over silicone and polyurethane. And, once it cures, it provides an excellent semi-matte appearance. 77-MA can be painted with most paints. Potential applications include aftermarket and OEM marine applications as (a) gap-filling for underwater thru-hull fittings, hull-to-deck joints, and portholes, and (b) bonding wood, gelcoat/fiberglass, and many other common substrates. 77 MA Marine Adhesive sealant exhibits excellent adhesion to most similar and dissimilar surfaces substrates including fiberglass, gelcoat, wood, aluminum, steel, glass, plywood, ceramic tile, brick blocks, and foam board.

Surface Preparations and Directions of Use

The surfaces to be applied on should be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. The ability for the adhesive to bond is only as good as the substrate it is applied on. Normal vehicle varnishes and standard glass generally do not require a primer. It is advisable to carry out preliminary adhesion tests on the substrate. Avoid exposure of unused material to air or moisture. A premium, high-ratio caulking gun that is suitable for high viscosity materials is recommended. Please contact Manus Sales Department or your Manus representative for information on premium, high-ratio caulking guns.

Precautions

Some applications may not be compatible with this product. In most cases, no primer is required. Some cleaners or solvents may not be compatible with this product.

Use with adequate ventilation. Inhalation of vapor during application and cure may cause eye or throat irritation. In case of contact with eyes, lips, or mouth, flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Avoid repeated, prolonged contact with skin. See SDS for additional information. KEEP OUT OF REACH FROM CHILDREN.

Clean Up

Excess cured material must be cut or scraped away followed by wiping with isopropyl alcohol, aromatic or ketone-type solvents.
