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 and how does it work?

    Our 3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 is a one-component, moisture-curing, gap-filling polyurethane sealant. It forms a permanent elastic bond with excellent adhesion to most surfaces like metal, wood, glass and plastic. This product works by reacting with moisture in the air or substrate surface to form a durable, flexible seal.

  2. Is this product weather-resistant?

    Yes! The 3M™ Polyurethane Sealant 540 has excellent resistance to weathering agents such as sunlight and rainwater. It also maintains its flexibility under extreme temperature conditions (-40°F/-40°C up to +194°F/+90°C).

  3. How much area can I cover with one pail of this sealant?

    One gallon (4 liters) of our gray-colored polyurethane sealant covers around 12-13 linear feet at a thickness of approximately half an inch. Therefore, you should be able to make about sixty-five feet worth of seals from one five-gallon drum/pail if applied properly. However always read carefully the manufacturer's instructions before use for detailed guidance on application methods

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.
