Flexiclear™ Body Seam Sealer

Product catalog summary
Product Description: 3M™ Flexiclear™ Body Seam Sealer is a medium-bodied, clear sealer with good adhesion to primer, paint, metal, glass, and aluminum. It is a low-modulus, caulk grade sealer that is clear and non-yellowing, using a standard caulk dispensing system and dries quickly.
Typical Physical Properties: The sealer is packaged in a 1/10th gallon cartridge, has a synthetic rubber base, a density of approximately 8.0 lbs./gallon, and a flash point of 40°F (4.4°C). It has a solids content of about 64% and a buttery paste consistency, with toluene/xylene as solvents. The service temperature ranges from -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C).
Performance Properties: The sealer has a solids content of 61 +/- 1%, shows no sag in 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch beads, and becomes tack-free in 45-50 minutes. It adheres well to glass, metal, and aluminum, and maintains clarity and elastomeric properties after QUV 150°F/500 hours testing. It remains flexible over a 2-inch mandrel at -20°F (-29°C) and has a hardness of Tex 45.
Directions for Use: The sealer should be applied to properly prepared automotive paint or primer, not bare metal. It can be applied over clean unsanded paint. The application involves cleaning the surface, cutting the nozzle tip, puncturing the foil seal, and using a 3M Professional Caulking Gun. After application, wait for the sealer to dry before painting.
Applications: Suitable for adhesion to scuffed primer, clean paint, glass, and bare aluminum. It is used for sealing headlight/taillight seams, exterior RV seams, and other visible seams not intended for painting.
Storage and Handling: Store at room temperature and rotate stock on a first-in-first-out basis. The product has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in original, unopened containers. Use in a well-ventilated area.
