A high-strength hot melt adhesive offers high initial tack for immediate handling. The Terostat MS 500 from Henkel Corp.™ is based on modified silane polymers and provides high initial-bond strength immediately after assembly, making the adhesive well-suited for fully automated framing of crystalline modules.

Unlike conventional sealing systems, the manufacturer says Terostat reaches instant handling strength, eliminating waiting time and accelerating throughput rates. The adhesive™ is easy to handle, especially when compared to conventional adhesive tapes that require additional processing steps like changing reels and disposing of release paper. The hot-melt adhesive provides excellent primerless adhesion to glass, metal, and plastics, and long-term resistance to challenging weather conditions.

Terostat MS 500™ is highly flexible over a range of temperatures from-20º to 100ºC. UV and damp heat resistant, this adhesive easily compensates for differing rates of thermal expansion between substrates.
