A Strong and Durable Sealant, Minus the Toxic Risks

Chem Link M-1 Durable Sealant
June 4, 2022 at 6:00 a.m.

By Chem Link. 

M-1 by Chem Link can be used in almost any situation requiring a sealant, forming a waterproof seal without releasing carcinogens. 

M-1® Universal Adhesive/Sealant by Chem Link is a moisture cure, multi-purpose sealant designed to bond and seal to a wide range of construction materials. Chem Link’s flagship polyether product is made with versatility in mind. M-1 is designed to form a tough, elastic and waterproof seal to PVC, EPDM, most metals, wood, glass, masonry concrete, fiberglass and solvent-sensitive foams. 

M-1 is most often used for flashing, coping, skylights and HVAC applications, as well as an emergency repair sealant for temporary repair of leaks. It delivers nearly 400 psi shear strength and remains elastic after cure — up to 525% elongation, so it also performs as a structural adhesive. 

M-1 covers the building envelope 

Commercial roofing — Flashing and coping joints, sealing Reglet joints and termination bars, tight seals around penetrations, bonding walkway treads and just about any emergency roof repairs. 

Residential roofing — Chimney and step flashing, skylights, roofing details, cove joints. 

Penetrations — Sealing pipe, cable, conduit penetrations through walls and roofs. 

Walls, windows, doors — Masonry and curtain wall construction. 

Lightning protection — Bonding grounding cables. 

Solar — Mounting solar panels, assembling components, waterproofing power distribution. 

Masonry and concrete — Crack repairs, horizontal and vertical expansion joints, bonding metal brackets. 

Mechanical — Sealing ducts, insulation, flanges and piping. 

Sustainability 

Following Chem Link’s dedication to sustainability, M-1 is safe for workers, occupants and the environment. What does that mean? It is non-toxic, so there’s no need to clear the building when working with Chem Link’s green products. There are no carcinogens, so it is safe for all building occupants. 

Benefits of M-1

  • It adheres to almost everything, so you can use it everywhere! 
  • It contains 100% solids that don’t shrink. 
  • Because it is moisture-curing, you can use it in the rain for emergency roofing or other applications like leaking condensation pans or pools. 
  • It is paintable and available in numerous color choices, as well as in a true clear option. 
  • It’s both an adhesive as well as a sealant. 
  • It skins over in just 20 minutes and is non-flammable, non-staining, non-sag and non-slump. 
  • Applies down to 32°F/0°C 
  • Continuous service at 200° F/93°C 

M-1 is made in the U.S., as are most of Chem Link’s raw materials – the polymers, the cartridges and the boxes. 

Packaging

M-1 is available in 10.1 oz. and 28 oz. cartridges, 20 oz. sausages, and 5 oz. squeeze tubes; 2- and 5-gallon pails are available by special order.
