Canal Bridge Magdeburg
The gap adjustment was done with DIAMANT MM 1018
100% forcefit gap compensation for steel-
and bridge constructions
Extremely high compressive strength, forcefit connection to steel beams, bridge bearings or steel constructions by the released DIAMANT MM 1018 coating. Age- and weatherproof, vibration damping, temperature resistant, corrosion rfresistannt, non conductive and resistant against gasolines, oils, lyes, acids.
The very last millimeter in the innovative steel construction is always a DIAMANT!
Steel companies and engineers have known that since 1990 and stand on it, in the word’s best meaning.
DB Net (German Railways) confirm …
10 years after the installation of new bridge bearings of the Cologne South Bridge the perfect application and a troublefree condition of the product DIAMANT MM 1018.
Quotation:
“Your product “DIAMANT MM Stahl 1018” was used to install new SHW bridge bearings in our South Bridge in Cologne in September 1993, Route 2641, km 3,175. Gaps resp. unevenness of 3-15 mm were adjusted between the bridge conbstruction and the adaptor plates of the bearings.
It was found that after 10 years there were no defects, misforms, corrosion or other defects.
We confirm a troublefree processing and condition of your products.”

Gap compensation with MM 1018, aerial tramway Wuppertal (turning station Wuppertal-Vohwinkel)
… DIAMANT MM 1018 is the perfect and innovative finish of steel constructions for a micron-exact adjustment of all unevenness and gaps in constructions easing the installation and adjustment of new bridge bearings for overhaul and new installations..
- extremely precise,
- priceworthy,
- resistant to ageing and weathering.
- applicable in place,
- without special auxiliaries and
- no special knowledge required.
Approved and recommended by installation regulations since 1990 by DB (German Railways), Autobahn- (highway-), waterway- & road departments.

VHFL-Directions
The VHFL-Direction No.2 (VHFL = united producers of road crossings and bearings) directs and describes the application of MM 1018.
DIAMANT MM 1018 is simply applied in the required coating thickness onto the relevant face- or anchoring-plates.
On assembly, DIAMANT MM1018 is evenly distributed in all directions the surplus material being squeezed out and removed.
The result:
a 100% forcefit gap compensation is achieved without any mechanical machining! At the same time, bearings / face plates are adjusted. DIAMANT MM 1018 achieves a very high compressive strength (pls. see test report DAFIT) and chemical resistance after full cure.
Yet, there are more benefits:
The use of DIAMANT MM 1018 Separator allows a later exchange of the bearings / face plates without problems which means that the elements are not bonded.
Practicasl perfection is our strength.
Short review: DIAMANT MM 1018
Renovation of London’ oldest tube station St. Pancras subway station in 2007, gap compensations with DIAMANT MM1018.
- 100% gap compensation of 0-10mm (forcefit).
- no time- and cost-consuming adjustment by mechanical machining
high compressive strength also under extreme conditions like vibrations, extreme temperature changes between -40° to +90° C - resistant to weathering and ageing
- resistant to gasolines, oils, coolants, acids, lyes
- corrosion resistant, electrically non conductive
- easy to process, no problems in applications in placewithout special preparations
Yet, not only under bridges…
is DIAMANT MM1018 the reference for innovative technologies.
Renovation of London’s oldest subway station St. Pancras of 1868; this is a masterpiece of architect ure and was then wolrdwide the largest hall made from one beam. Hundreds of carrying stamps were re-adjusted in 2007 by injecting DIAMANT MM 1018 in place without machining.
