    Universal structural adhesive and sealant

    M-1 is a versatile construction adhesive and sealant for interior or exterior use. Made for industrial roofing, it can be applied in damp, dry, and cold climates down to 30 °F. It won't discolor with UV light and is capable of joint movement in excess of 35% in both compression and extension. M-1 has a 20-minute skin-over time, is paintable after 24 hours, is non-toxic and has very low odor (16.9 g/l VOC)!

    NOTE: We recommend using this product within 6 months of the date of purchase.

    NOTE: This caulk will not bond to HDPE plastics.

    This is truly a heavy-duty adhesive/sealant and is a suitable replacement for Liquid Nails or Almighty Adhesive. Chemlink's M-1 bonds well to most construction materials including EPDM, SBS mod bit, aluminum, galvanized metal, PVC, glass, stainless steel, fiberglass, FRP, wood, EIFS, block, brick, EPS foam, concrete and stone.

    M-1 is very similar to Chemlink Novalink, an all-weather construction sealant. M-1 has lower viscosity, shorter skin-over time, higher shear strength and bonds to a few more materials. M-1 is perfect for more heavy-duty jobs. It's really a structural adhesive as well as a sealant.

    NOTE: Use only rubbing alcohol to smooth out. Do not use water or mineral spirts.

    NOTE: For TPO roofing, TPO primer must be used first.

    NOTE: ChemLink products do not adhere to polyethylene or polypropylene (recycled plastics)
