3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer is a sealer that uses two part urethane technology to provide a tough flexible material for the sealing of joints on primed or painted substrates such as steel or aluminum enclosures. This material provides excellent flexibility and elongation properties along with a medium/high viscosity and produces a slight flow-out after application.
3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer seam sealer can be used to seal vertical or horizontal seams on automotive surfaces primed with a 2K urethane, 2K epoxy primer, or clean, sanded paint. Its slight flow-out softens on the edges, without tooling, giving a rounded appearance. This flexible rounded seam seal is suitable for duplicating factory door skin seams and matching OEM beads. This high-performance black sealer operates with a two-part cartridge and nozzle that self-mixes allowing for fast easy application and quick cycle times. 3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer may be top coated with paints in 45 minutes under normal conditions. Our flexible formula works within a wide range of temperatures with no shrinking or cracking to achieve strong, durable construction. It offers a fast setup time of 10 minutes, decreasing downtime and allowing technicians to continue repair procedures quicker for increased productivity. 3M™ Factory-Match Seam Sealer can be used with the following 3M™ Applicators: 3M™ Manual Applicator for 2 part cartridges or 3M™ Pneumatic Applicator for 2 part cartridges. Use with 3M™ Static Mixing Nozzles, 3M™ OEM Sealer Tips or 3M™ OEM Match Tips. 3M best practice is that all sealers, unless designated specifically for use on bare metal, be applied to properly prepared automotive paint or primer. Apply only to surfaces primed with a 2K urethane, 2K epoxy primer, or clean, sanded paint. Acid etch primers should never be in direct contact with seam sealer. Prior to application, scuff primed surface lightly with a Scotch-Brite™ General Purpose Hand Pad Ultrafine.
