High Activity Medium Modulus MS Polymer MS3303M
Manta MS3303M is an alkoxysilane-terminated polyether (STPE) with high activity and medium modulus, used as a base polymer for elastic sealants, structural adhesives, potting compounds and protective coatings. It offers fast curing, high transparency and a paintable surface, and can be formulated as one-component or two-component products for construction, general industry and transportation.

Overview
Manta MS3303M is an alkoxysilane-terminated polyether (STPE, also known as silane-modified polymer, SMP) with a polyoxypropylene backbone. In moisture-curing systems it hydrolyzes and crosslinks with ambient humidity to form a durable elastic network. It cures at room temperature in the presence of catalysts such as amine or tin compounds.
Compared with conventional silicone and polyurethane technologies, MS3303M is solvent-free, suitable for low-VOC formulations and contains no free isocyanates. It offers good adhesion to many substrates without primer, bubble-free curing and a paintable surface. Fields of use include construction, general industry, transportation and new energy, including EV battery and solar module assembly, subject to application testing.
MS3303M has the same listed viscosity (40,000 – 50,000 mPa·s at 25 °C), activity and modulus as Manta MS3303T. The MS3303T data sheet is oriented toward clear sealants, glass assembly and fast production lines, while MS3303M is described for general elastic sealing and bonding. For a lower modulus, see Manta MS3303I (low-to-medium modulus, 35,000 – 45,000 mPa·s at 25 °C).

Applications
- Elastic sealants and structural adhesives: base polymer that cures at room temperature with atmospheric moisture in the presence of amine or tin catalysts
- Potting compounds and coatings: base polymer for potting compounds and protective coatings
- Construction, general industry and transportation: one-component (1K) or two-component (2K) products that bond to a wide range of substrates
- New energy: EV battery and solar module assembly, subject to application testing
Processing
- Moisture: the alkoxysilane groups cure with moisture, so moisture-free conditions must be maintained during storage and production.
- Fillers: MS3303M is compatible with fillers such as PCC, GCC, fumed silica, silica flour, diatomaceous earth and aluminum hydroxide.
- Drying: dry fillers before use to prevent premature gelation; VTMO is recommended as a moisture scavenger.
- Plasticizers: suitable plasticizers include phthalates (e.g., DINP, DIDP), PPG and other low-molecular-weight polyethers.
- Additives: adhesion promoters, antioxidants, fungicides and UV stabilizers can be added to adjust the end-use properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which plasticizers and fillers work with MS3303M?
Suitable plasticizers include phthalates such as DINP and DIDP, plus PPG and other low-molecular-weight polyethers. Compatible fillers include PCC, GCC, fumed silica, silica flour, diatomaceous earth and aluminum hydroxide. Dry fillers before use to prevent premature gelation; vinyltrimethoxysilane (Manta V31) is recommended as a moisture scavenger.
Is MS3303M a 1K or 2K resin?
It can be formulated as either. MS3303M cures at room temperature with atmospheric moisture in the presence of catalysts such as amine or tin compounds, and it can be designed as a one-component (1K) or two-component (2K) product that bonds to a wide range of substrates.
Can sealants based on MS3303M be painted over?
Yes. MS3303M gives a paintable surface. It also adheres to many substrates without primer and cures without bubbles, which supports its use in construction sealants.
