Modulus of elasticity The modulus of elasticity describes the ratio of stress to strain in a rod under tension whose sides are unconstrained

 

Monomer The inicial compound of the adhesive from which polymeric molecular chains are formed by chemical reaction (polymerization).

 

MS-Polymer Silanemodified sealings. These sealings mostly have a good uv-resistance. MS-Polymeres can be painted over when freshly applied.After a curing time of more than 24 hours, the surface has to be activated before painting is possible. The creep of MS-polymeres is relativly high.
