Tikalflex Contact 12 Adhesive Sealant
- For bonding and sealing
- Very strong 1-component sealant
- In black, white and grey
Tikalflex Contact 12 is a powerful, universal one-component MS-polymer adhesive. This high-performance adhesive sealant is specifically developed for demanding applications in construction, yacht building, and the caravan and marine industries. It combines very high final strength with long-lasting elasticity, making it ideal for structural bonding applications exposed to vibration, mechanical loads and moisture.
Tikalflex Contact 12 provides excellent adhesion to a wide range of common materials without the need for a primer. It also cures reliably on damp substrates and even under water.
