Merbenit RV30 is a flame-retardant 1K-SMP sealant for railway vehicle construction — EN 45545-2 Hazard Level HL1 + HL2, R22+R23, without halogenated flame retardants.
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. RV30 is a specific variant of the Merbenit SMP series—its key properties and applications are described below.
Merbenit RV30 meets Hazard Levels HL1 and HL2 according to EN 45545-2 (requirement sets R22+R23) — tested for components EX12 (external seals) and IN16 (internal seals) in railway vehicles. Free of halogenated flame retardants, soft-elastic (Shore A 26).

Frequently asked questions about RV30
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Merbenit RV30: Flame-retardant 1K-SMP sealant for railway vehicle construction — EN 45545-2 Hazard Level HL1 + HL2, R22+R23, without halogenated flame retardants. Main applications: Railway vehicle external seals, railway vehicle internal seals, railway windows and doors.
SMP = Silane-modified polymer. This modern adhesive class combines the advantages of silicone (elasticity, weather resistance, broad adhesion spectrum) and polyurethane (mechanical strength, paint compatibility) — without their disadvantages (silicone: not paintable, corrosion on some metals; PU: isocyanates, often problematic indoors). SMP adhesives are solvent-free, isocyanate-free, and silicone-free, paint-compatible, corrosion-protective, and adhere without primer to most substrates — except PE, PP, PTFE, and silicones.
RV30 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 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. Process opened cartridges promptly — 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 about the optimal choice, we will be happy to advise you — contact SILITECH with your specific application (substrate pairing, desired hardness, processing workflow, certification requirement).
