Stik MS60 Hybrid Adhesive Sealant

Stik MS60 hybrid adhesive sealant: high-performance bonding and sealing

The Stik MS60 is a hybrid adhesive sealant that bonds and seals in a single application. Ideal for professionals who want a solid result without compromise.

Its MS polymer formula offers exceptional adhesion on most surfaces: metal, wood, concrete, PVC. Even in difficult conditions.

Flexible after drying, and resistant to vibrations and weathering: it is the reliable choice for your construction sites and industrial assemblies.

What is the Stik MS60 hybrid adhesive sealant?

The Stik MS60 is a hybrid adhesive sealant based on MS Polymer (Modified Silicone). It provides both structural bonding and durable sealing on a very wide range of materials.

One single product replaces multiple references. No more juggling between silicone sealant, polyurethane adhesive, and bonding primer.

MS Polymer technology: between silicone, polyurethane, and epoxy glue

MS Polymer is a hybrid technology that combines the best attributes of three product families:

• Silicone: flexibility, resistance to UV and weathering, temperature resistance
• Polyurethane: mechanical strength, adhesion on porous and non-porous surfaces
• Epoxy glue: structural cohesion, load-bearing capacity

Result: Stik MS60 bonds without a primer on metal, wood, concrete, PVC, glass, and composites. It remains elastic after polymerization, which absorbs vibrations and thermal expansion.

Unlike conventional silicone sealants, it is paintable and does not release acetic acid. Unlike polyurethanes, it does not yellow and is more resistant to UV rays outdoors.

Technical properties and performance of the Stik MS60

The Stik MS60 is a high-performance MS polymer hybrid adhesive sealant. It combines the qualities of a sealant and a structural adhesive in one single product.

Its isocyanate- and solvent-free formula places it above conventional polyurethane sealants. No aggressive odor, no risk of bubbling due to humidity.

It adheres to a wide range of surfaces: metals, PVC, wood, concrete, glass, polyester. A primer is generally not necessary on most clean and degreased surfaces.

Key features:

• Temperature resistance: from -40°C to +90°C continuously
• Elongation at break: greater than 400%
• UV resistance: excellent, no yellowing
• Skin time: approximately 10 minutes at 23°C / 50% RH
• Paintability: yes, after full polymerization
• Prolonged immersion: resistant to fresh and salt water

Product	Technology	Isocyanates	Elongation at break	UV resistance	Main usage
Stik MS60	Hybrid MS Polymer	None	> 400%	Excellent	Multi-surface bonding + sealing
Standard polyurethane sealant	1K Polyurethane	Present	200-350%	Average (yellowing)	Bodywork joints, construction
Neutral silicone sealant	Silicone	None	400-600%	Very good	Sanitary sealing, glazing
Sika Flex-11 FC+	1K Polyurethane	Present	~600%	Good	Structural bonding, marine

The Stik MS60 stands out for its safety profile regarding isocyanates, while maintaining high mechanical strength. It is a consistent choice for demanding environments where operator safety matters as much as performance.

Areas of application: which materials and jobs to use the MS60 for?

The Stik MS60 bonds and seals on a wide range of surfaces, without primer in most cases. This is one of its major advantages on the job site.

It adheres to common building and industrial materials: concrete, brick, stone, wood, metal (steel, aluminum, stainless steel), PVC, polyester, and most rigid plastics.

Its resistance to UV rays and weathering makes it particularly suitable for outdoor applications: cladding, joinery, facades, glazing, or roofing joints.

Indoors, it is used for fixing panels, baseboards, profiles, or for filling gaps between materials with different expansion rates thanks to its permanent flexibility.

Examples of typical jobs:

• Installation of metal or composite cladding
• Bonding of aluminum or PVC joinery
• Sealing of facade and roof joints
• Fixing of sandwich panels in industry
• Assembly of wood-metal structures
• Bodywork and commercial vehicle joints

MS60 is not suitable for greasy, powdery, or non-degreased surfaces. Prior surface cleaning remains essential to guarantee hold.

Stik MS60 vs other hybrid adhesive sealants: comparative table

Comparison with polyurethane, silicone, and other MS polymers

The adhesive sealant market is full of different technologies. Here is how the Stik MS60 positions itself against the main alternatives.

Feature	Stik MS60 (MS hybrid)	Polyurethane (PU)	Silicone	Standard MS polymer
Multi-surface adhesion	✅ Excellent	✅ Good	⚠️ Limited	✅ Good
Isocyanates (health/safety)	✅ Isocyanate-free	❌ Contains isocyanates	✅ Isocyanate-free	✅ Isocyanate-free
Paintable	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	❌ No	✅ Yes
UV resistance	✅ Excellent	⚠️ Average	✅ Excellent	✅ Good
Weathering resistance	✅ Very good	⚠️ Average	✅ Very good	✅ Good
Odor upon application	✅ Low	❌ Strong	⚠️ Acetic (vinegar)	✅ Low
Tensile/shear strength	✅ High	✅ High	❌ Low	⚠️ Average
Compatibility with sensitive plastics	✅ Yes	⚠️ Variable	⚠️ Variable	✅ Yes

Polyurethane offers high mechanical strength, but its isocyanates require strict precautions in the workplace. Silicone cannot be painted and sticks poorly to many surfaces.

Standard MS polymers are similar to Stik MS60, but generally show lower tensile performance. Stik MS60 combines the best of both worlds: mechanical strength of PU and climatic durability of silicone, without their drawbacks.

This is particularly decisive for outdoor applications or in confined spaces, where operator safety and durability are non-negotiable.

Application tips and safety precautions

Before any application, thoroughly clean and degrease surfaces. Dust, oil, or residual moisture reduce adhesion and compromise long-term hold.

Cut the cartridge nozzle at 45° for a regular bead. Apply Stik MS60 at a temperature between +5°C and +40°C to ensure proper cross-linking.

The product vulcanizes with ambient humidity. Too low a humidity level slows down drying; in a very dry environment, lightly dampen the surface before application.

Smooth the bead immediately after application, before the surface film forms. Open time is generally 5 to 15 minutes depending on ambient conditions.

Essential precautions:

• Wear nitrile gloves: the uncured product can irritate the skin.
• Work in a well-ventilated space; avoid prolonged inhalation of vapors.
• In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Store the cartridge away from heat and moisture, between +5°C and +25°C.
• Carefully close the nozzle after each use to prevent clogging.

Uncured residue can be removed with solvent (acetone, white spirit). Once cured, Stik MS60 no longer dissolves: remove excess mechanically.

Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available from Dagobert Industrie before any professional use.
