Save time and costs by rebuilding OEM seams directly from the dispenser

Düsseldorf, Germany – The TEROSON^® OEM approved vehicle solutions not only make it possible for body shops and commercial vehicle workshops to perform replace and repair tasks that leave the affected areas looking as good as new but also to rebuild OEM seams, and one of its star performers is the innovative TEROSON MS 9320 SF sealant.

This silane-modified polymer-based, chemical-curing sealant can rebuild OEM-approved standard seams, brushed beads, spray seams, PVC structure seams, flat stream seams, wide stream seams and special OEM textures, directly from the dispenser. There’s no need for additional masking, priming, special or additional tools, e.g. spreader. Its use can typically save up to 25% rebuild time per job – based on average time of 120min/repair.

A long-held challenge for car body shops is to rebuild sealing seams that look and function exactly like the OEM. This is vital to the prevention of corrosion caused by environmental factors. However, achieving the desired result can be both time-consuming and unpredictable, especially when special textures are required, as these are typically re-created manually.

This is why the TEROSON MS 9320 SF is such an important product in Henkel’s collision repair product range. This sealant’s formulation reduces the need for inefficient and time-consuming manual processes. It also demonstrates excellent resistance to UV and corrosion.

Available in three colour choices – black, grey and ochre – TEROSON MS 9320 SF provides impressive adhesion to many different surfaces without primer and good elasticity, when cured, it supports movement without cracking. It is isocyanate- and silicone-free, fast curing and over-paintable after 10 minutes, up to 3 days after application.

Water-based coatings adhere well to this sealant following skin formation, reducing any danger of unwanted air pockets or uneven surfaces compromising the end result. The sealant is also spot-weldable before cure.

OEM seams, get them right the first time. Every time
Most seam sealing application methods require manual adjustment after application to rebuild the required OEM texture. As well as an increased risk of failure, it adds process time. In sharp contrast, the application of TEROSON MS 9320 SF is straight forward and highly time-efficient. The product’s stability and smooth flow through a wide choice of application nozzles allow the easy creation of OEM-approved flat- and wide-stream seams and sprayable/brushable seams for OEM textures.

For each seam structure, choosing the correct application nozzle and tool form a critical part of a successful bead creation. From standard, spray, universal and butterfly nozzles, through to flat stream and wide stream nozzles, the TEROSON range has a solution, whatever the task, be it side panels, doors, tail gates or bonnets. A selection of application tools is also available, including the TEROSON ET Multipress and TEROSON ET Powerline II cartridge dispensers.

TEROSON MS 9320 SF is a sealant that is both fast to apply and consistently reliable, making body shop repair time much more predictable, so any job can be undertaken to ensure both profitability and an OEM-quality finish. It can also be used in combination with other products in the seam sealing range to address, for example, applications with a large gap to fill.
