Merbenit HM21
Universal 1K SMP sealant with long working time, Shore A 45 and 350% elongation at break.
Universal 1K SMP sealant with long working time (30 min), Shore A 45 and 350% elongation at break — EMICODE EC1Plus + Eurofins IAC Gold certified
HS code:
3214.1000
Merbenit HM21 is a universal 1K-SMP sealant with a long working time (30 min), Shore A 45 and 350% elongation at break — EMICODE EC1Plus + Eurofins IAC Gold certified.
Silane-modified polymers (SMPs) are modern, high-performance adhesives—moisture-curing, solvent-, isocyanate-, and silicone-free, with a very broad adhesion spectrum to metals, painted and galvanized surfaces, engineering plastics, glass, ceramics, concrete, stone, and wood. They are paintable, corrosion-resistant, shock- and vibration-resistant, and low-odor. HM21 is a specific variant of the Merbenit SMP series—its key properties and applications are described below.
Merbenit HM21 is the universal choice in the Merbenit range — its 30-minute working time allows for careful application of even large adhesive joints, with high final strength (Shore A 45) and 350% elongation at break. EMICODE EC1Plus and Eurofins IAC Gold certifications confirm very low-emission processing — suitable for interior applications.

Frequently asked questions about HM21
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Merbenit HM21: Universal 1K SMP sealant with a long working time (30 min), Shore A 45 and 350% elongation at break — EMICODE EC1Plus + Eurofins IAC Gold certified. Main applications: Metal construction, apparatus and machine construction, plastics technology.
SMP = Silane-modified polymer. This modern class of adhesives combines the advantages of silicone (elasticity, weather resistance, broad adhesion spectrum) and polyurethane (mechanical strength, paintability) — without their disadvantages (silicone: not paintable, corrosion on some metals; PU: isocyanates, often problematic indoors). SMP adhesives are solvent-, isocyanate-, and silicone-free, paintable, corrosion-resistant, and adhere to most substrates without a primer — except PE, PP, PTFE, and silicones.
HM21 adheres to metals (aluminum, stainless steel, steel), powder-coated and painted surfaces, galvanized/anodized/chromated/zinc-coated substrates, many plastics, ceramics, stone, concrete, crepi, wood, and glass. Not suitable for: PP, PE, PTFE (Teflon), silicones, and bitumen substrates. For critical material pairings, we recommend a preliminary test or application with a primer (V40 for smooth, V21 for absorbent substrates).
Store in the unopened original container in a dry, cool place — typically between +5 and +30 °C. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Observe the expiry date on the packaging. Use opened cartridges quickly — skin formation in the nozzle will block further application.
In the comparison table above, you will find related Merbenit products with different properties—different hardness, pot life, elongation at break, or special certifications (IMO, EN 45545-2, FMVSS 212, ISEGA, Minergie-ECO). If you are unsure which product is best for you, we would be happy to advise you—contact SILITECH with your specific application (substrate pairing, desired hardness, processing workflow, certification requirements).
