Merbenit TMS32 is a highly elastic 1K-SMP adhesive/sealant (500% elongation at break) with a very broad adhesion spectrum on plastics — Minergie-ECO, ISEGA-approved, suitable for sanitary applications.
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. TMS32 is a specific variant of the Merbenit SMP series—its key properties and applications are described below.
Merbenit TMS32 is characterized by an exceptionally high elongation at break of 500% with a soft, elastic consistency (Shore A 34) — tolerating large movements and expansions. Especially suitable for natural stone (no edge discoloration), wooden floors such as parquet, sanitary joints (mold-resistant), and window connection joints.

Frequently asked questions about TMS32
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Merbenit TMS32: Highly elastic 1K SMP adhesive/sealant (500% elongation at break) with a very broad adhesion spectrum to plastics — Minergie-ECO, ISEGA-approved, suitable for sanitary applications. Main applications: natural stone grouting, wood floors/parquet, sanitary joints.
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.
TMS32 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).
