Adheseal Hi-Flex 60 is a high-modulus MS polymer adhesive and sealant for bonding panels, fabricating assemblies and sealing joints that experience vibration or movement. It cures to a firmer elastic finish than Hi-Flex 50, making it particularly useful where flexible bonding strength matters as much as maintaining a sealed joint.
The single-component, moisture-curing hybrid bonds many common construction materials with suitable surface preparation, including tested metal finishes, timber, masonry and reinforced sandwich panels. Its cured Shore A 55 profile is more robust than a soft weatherseal, while still accommodating ±25% joint movement.
Where to use Hi-Flex 60
-
Reinforced sandwich panels: bonding compatible XPS-foam-core reinforced panels where the specified assembly permits an MS polymer adhesive.
-
Prefabricated buildings: joining and sealing component interfaces that need flexible adhesion and movement tolerance.
-
Metalwork and signage: sealing aluminium fabrication seams and bolted lap joints, or bonding suitable display components.
-
Vehicle and marine fabrication: bonding or sealing compatible parts exposed to movement or vibration, without using it as an immersed joint sealant.
Which Hi-Flex should you choose?
Choose Hi-Flex 60 for a firmer adhesive/sealant used in fabrication and panel assembly. Hi-Flex 50 is better positioned for general joint sealing and selected waterproofing membrane fillets. Hi-Flex Construction Plus is the low-modulus, ±50%-movement alternative for façade and window perimeter weatherseals.
Before installation
Prepare dry, stable, clean surfaces and check the relevant primer or adhesion-test requirements. Use a suitable bond-breaker or backing rod in movement joints, and ensure enough atmospheric moisture can reach the adhesive to cure. Test variable coatings and sensitive materials.
Not for structural glazing, mirrors, aquariums or long-term immersion. Avoid bitumen, EPDM, natural rubber and substrates that can release oils or plasticisers.
