X'traseal MS-609: A Technical Overview
X'traseal MS-609 is a hybrid silyl-modified polymer adhesive formulated for high-initial-grip bonding on a wide range of interior and exterior building materials. Its thick-bodied paste delivers instant adhesion with minimal sag, eliminating the need for clamps or mechanical supports during curing. MS-609 is solvent- and isocyanate-free, non-staining on porous substrates, and UV-stable for exposed conditions. It adheres strongly to metal, wood, PVC, polystyrene, and more, making it ideal for threshold trims, wall panels, skirting, and decorative applications.

Skin Formation Time
Core Features & Specifications
- Extremely high initial grab — supports heavy items without fixings
- Excellent adhesion to metals, PVC, mirror, wood, polycarbonate, and more
- Non-bleeding and stain-free on porous surfaces like natural stone
- Paintable with most water-based paints (test recommended)
- Neutral cure, solvent- and isocyanate-free formulation
- UV and weather-resistant — suitable for external use
- Cures even on slightly moist substrates — no primer required
- Fast skin-over time: approx. 5 min, tack-free in 20 min
The X'traseal MS-609 Advantage
- Reduces install time — no need for nails or mechanical supports
- Ideal for clean, visible bonding jobs with no staining or bubbling
- Versatile — adheres to modern composite cladding and coated substrates
- Performs across variable site conditions — bonds on damp surfaces
- Safe to use in sensitive fitout areas — low odour, solvent-free
Best Practices: Do's & Don'ts
Do
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or release agents
- Maintain a 2–3mm adhesive bead thickness for optimal bond
- Test paint compatibility before full application
- Store in cool, dry conditions below 30°C
Don't
- Use on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or PTFE
- Apply in fully sealed joints without atmospheric moisture
- Use for structural glazing or underwater applications
- Expose to harsh solvents, acids, or food contact surfaces
Applications in Practice: Trade Scenarios
For Fitout Carpenters (On-Site Applicator): Skirting and Threshold Installation
The Engineering Challenge
Securing MDF skirting or threshold trims without visible fixings can be tricky, especially on moisture-affected or sensitive substrates like tiles and panels.
The System-Based Solution with X'traseal MS-609
Apply beads of MS-609 to back of trim, ensuring a minimum 2mm bed. Press into position. No need for pins or tape — the high grab holds in place instantly. Clean any excess with solvent before cure.
Best Practice Note
Apply in dabs or beads to avoid air entrapment, and always perform adhesion tests when bonding to coated or glossy surfaces.
For Builders (Business Owner): Mirror & Panel Installations Without Mechanical Fasteners
The Engineering Challenge
Modern commercial fitouts often use mirror glass and decorative panels that can’t be mechanically fixed without visible disruption or risk of substrate staining.
The System-Based Solution with X'traseal MS-609
MS-609 bonds instantly to mirror backing, aluminium composite panels, and polycarbonate — even in vertical installations. It resists UV and avoids staining porous surfaces, reducing call-backs.
Best Practice Note
Store cartridges upright and bring to ambient temperature before use for smoother extrusion and even curing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can X'traseal MS-609 be used on mirrors?
Yes. MS-609 is ideal for bonding mirrors. It adheres well to mirror backing without causing staining or corrosion, and it provides immediate grip on vertical surfaces.
Is X'traseal MS-609 suitable for wet areas or damp surfaces?
Yes. MS-609 can be applied to slightly moist surfaces and is moisture-tolerant during curing. However, it should not be used for applications where it will remain permanently submerged.
What materials does MS-609 adhere to?
X'traseal MS-609 adheres to metal, timber, PVC, polystyrene, polycarbonate, mirror backing, glass, and most construction surfaces. It’s not recommended for polyethylene, polypropylene, or PTFE.
Can it be painted over?
Yes. MS-609 is paintable with most water-based paints. For best results, allow the adhesive to fully cure and conduct a spot test before large-scale painting.
What is the open time and full cure rate?
MS-609 skins over in approx. 5 minutes, is tack-free in 20 minutes, and reaches full cure in about 24–48 hours depending on joint thickness, humidity, and temperature.

How to Apply X'traseal MS-609 Adhesive
-
1. Prepare Surfaces
Ensure bonding surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, or release agents. Abrade glossy surfaces lightly if needed. Use lint-free cloth and mild detergent if cleaning is required.
Pro Tip: Avoid alcohol wipes on mirror backing — use dry cloth only. -
2. Apply Adhesive
Cut nozzle to desired bead size (typically 5–8mm). Apply MS-609 in vertical beads or dabs spaced 10–20cm apart. Ensure even distribution to allow moisture access during curing.
Pro Tip: On mirror or cladding panels, apply in vertical lines to promote even curing and moisture access. -
3. Press and Hold
Bring surfaces together within 5 minutes of application. Apply firm, uniform pressure across the bonded area. No mechanical support is required in most cases due to high initial grab.
Pro Tip: Wipe off any excess adhesive before it cures using a dry cloth or suitable solvent. -
4. Allow to Cure
MS-609 skins in approx. 5 minutes and becomes tack-free in 20 minutes. Full cure is achieved in 24–48 hours depending on thickness, temperature, and humidity.
Curing Note: Cure speed depends on ambient moisture — allow ventilation for faster results. -
5. Painting (Optional)
After full cure, MS-609 can be painted with most water-based paints. Always test on a small area for compatibility before painting large surfaces.
Limitations & Safety
Product Limitations
Not suitable for structural glazing or load-bearing joints.
Do not apply on PE, PP, or PTFE materials (poor adhesion).
Not designed for continuous water immersion or swimming pool use.
Do not use where solvent resistance or food contact is required.
Use only in well-ventilated environments — avoid enclosed or airtight curing areas.

Ensure paint is sound and fully cured. Lightly abrade glossy coatings to improve grip. Remove dust and residue before application.
Primer Not Required
PVC, Timber, Composite Trims
Surface Preparation
Wipe surfaces with a lint-free cloth and mild detergent. Rinse and dry. Avoid oily timbers or contaminated surfaces. No need to sand pre-finished trims unless coated in gloss polyurethane.
Primer Not Required
Coated Metal & ACP
Surface Preparation
Ensure surface is clean and free from protective film, dust, or oxidation. Wipe with alcohol-based cleaner and allow to evaporate before applying adhesive.
