Discover how to extend the service life of SMP sealants with advanced light and heat stabilization

In recent years, the adhesive and sealant sector has seen remarkable advancement through innovative technology based on silane modified polymers (SMP). These materials deliver exceptional performance by merging durability with sustainable characteristics. Their composition offers formulators extensive customization possibilities, making them increasingly popular in modern bonding applications.  

In this webinar, we showcase how tailored light and heat stabilization solutions can address the limitations of legacy technologies in SMP sealant formulations. The results highlight improved UV and thermal stability, extended product lifetime, and enhanced sustainability without compromising performance.

Advancing durability in SMP sealants

Long-term UV and heat stability remain among the key challenges in SMP sealant formulations.

 

Silane-modified polymer (SMP) sealants offer excellent flexibility and adhesion. However, conventional stabilization technologies can limit durability, colour stability, and formulation efficiency.

In this webinar, discover how AddWorks™ IBC 760, developed through the collaboration between Omya and Clariant, helps extend sealant service life while maintaining high performance. Learn how formulators can improve durability, simplify formulations, and create more sustainable sealing solutions.
