Merbenit TS40 is a transparent 1K-SMP adhesive (slightly bluish shimmer, glacier color) for inconspicuous interior bonding — ISEGA, EMICODE EC1Plus.
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. TS40 is a specific variant of the Merbenit SMP series—its key properties and applications are described below.
Merbenit TS40 is a transparent SMP adhesive with a slightly bluish shimmer (glacier color) — specifically designed for discreet interior bonding applications where a colored adhesive would be visually distracting. ISEGA-approved for food contact applications, EMICODE EC1Plus + Eurofins IAC Gold.

Frequently asked questions about TS40
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Merbenit TS40: Transparent 1K SMP adhesive (slightly bluish shimmer, glacier color) for discreet interior bonding — ISEGA, EMICODE EC1Plus. Main applications: Visible bonding, interior construction, furniture manufacturing.
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.
TS40 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).
