ChemLink’s M-1 Clean Room Adhesive Sealant (F1224) is an advanced elastomeric sealant engineered for environments where air quality and material purity are critical. Leveraging cutting-edge polymer chemistry and strict regulatory compliance, M-1 CR stands out as the preferred choice for cleanrooms, healthcare facilities, and other contamination-sensitive applications.
Core Characteristics of M-1 Clean Room Adhesive Sealant
Non-Toxic, Safe Formulation
- Solvent/Isocyanate-Free:
M-1 CR contains no solvents or isocyanates, eliminating health risks from volatile organic compounds (VOCs <15 g/L) and toxic chemicals. This makes it ideal for use in hospitals, schools, and other occupied spaces.
- Zero Outgassing:
Unlike traditional urethane sealants, M-1 CR produces no molecular air contamination—even when applied to damp surfaces. This property is crucial for semiconductor cleanrooms and biomedical facilities where air purity is paramount.
Exceptional Performance Under Extreme Conditions
-
Temperature Resilience:
Cures effectively at 32°F (0°C) and withstands continuous service temperatures up to 200°F (93°C). -
UV and Weather Resistance:
Maintains color stability and elasticity without cracking or discoloration, even after prolonged UV exposure.
Structural Flexibility and Application Versatility
-
35% Joint Movement Capacity:
Accommodates thermal expansion and contraction in substrates like PVC, TPO, and concrete without losing adhesion. -
Non-Slumping Application:
The thixotropic formula allows for vertical or overhead application, preventing sagging or dripping.
Regulatory & Industry Compliance
-
Cleanroom Certification:
Approved for use in semiconductor and aerospace cleanrooms, meeting ASTM C920 (Type S, Class 25) and Federal Specification TT-S-00230-C. -
Environmental Standards:
- CARB, SCAQMD, and LEED-compliant for low emissions.
- USDA-approved for non-food contact areas in food processing plants.
Applications Beyond Cleanrooms
While M-1 CR is optimized for contamination-controlled environments, its versatility extends to:
-
Healthcare:
Sealing surgical suites, laboratories, and other spaces where air quality is critical. -
Education:
Ideal for "Healthy Schools" initiatives due to its non-toxic, low-emission profile. -
Infrastructure:
Waterproofing bridges and soundwalls, thanks to its resistance to ponding water and chemicals.
Installation Advantages
-
Rapid Cure Time:
Skins over in just 30 minutes and achieves full cure in 24 hours, accelerating project timelines. -
No Priming Required:
Bonds directly to most substrates, including metals and membranes, reducing surface preparation. -
Ease of Use:
Supplied in 10.1 oz cartridges (case of 16), compatible with standard caulking gun —no specialized equipment needed.
