Corrosion damage, tolerances and inaccuracies often make the full-surface installation of bridge bearings difficult. MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® – adapts flexibly to any gap geometry and ensures a force-fit and form-fit connection between the component surfaces.
Crane rails become deformed due to high loads, while corrosion causes additional damage to the substructure. MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® – provides a stable foundation when refurbishing crane rails by compensating for unevenness and creating a full-surface, force-fit connection between the rail and the substrate.
Precise horizontal alignment is crucial when erecting silo towers. MM1018, as an innovative gap compensation material, ensures a force-fit and even connection that guarantees long-term stability.
The perfect connection of head plate joints is crucial for the stability of a structure. MM1018 reliably compensates for gaps and tolerances and, with its fluid form, ensures a full-surface, friction-locked connection – for maximum stability and precision.
Durable, corrosion-resistant connections are essential in hydraulic steel construction. MM1018 completely compensates for gaps, creates a force-fit connection and protects the steel connection from corrosion-related damage.
In order to withstand the highly dynamic loads acting on a wind turbine, it is necessary that the forces can be transmitted 100%. MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® enables this 100% force-fit connection and thus ensures the safety and stability of wind turbines.
The use of MM1018 as an injection resin for injection screws ensures a slip-free connection by filling the hole clearance with the high-performance polymer. The injection resin impresses with its simple and efficient application and high load-bearing capacity.
MM1018 is ideal for filling oversized hole clearance and ensures a non-slip, high load-bearing connection. The high-performance polymer fills the hole clearance completely, adapts perfectly and ensures a permanent connection.
No problem! Our expert Carsten Vogels will be happy to help you find the perfect solution for your requirements.
MM1018 is a highly filled metal-polymer composite designed for full-surface, force- and form-fit gap bridging in steel and bridge construction.
It adapts to any gap situation, offers high compressive strength, low creep, and is weather- and corrosion-resistant
MM1018 is available in paste and liquid forms for trowel or injection applications.
For end-to-end joints in head plates, bridge bearings, crane rails, and guide rails, as well as steel-to-concrete connections.
Depending on the variant, up to approximately 160 N/mm².
Yes, MM1018 has been approved by the DIBT for use in construction.
Yes, it is weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and even seawater-resistant.
Yes, thanks to its high dimensional stability, it is very well suited for this purpose. This has already been demonstrated in various studies. Please contact us; we would be happy to send them to you.
Store in the original container for up to 2 years in a dry, cool, and frost-free place.
Our MM1018 is fully cured after 24 hours and has then reached its high compressive strength of 161 N/mm2. From then on, the fully filled joint can be fully loaded.
Based on the investigations regarding the low loss of preload force of only ~ 9% after 50 years and the investigation of the fatigue strength, in which the material withstands >10 million load cycles (the same number as in investigations for steel), it can be concluded that the full-surface connection is stable and very durable for decades. The low creep coefficient and shrinkage also allow this conclusion to be drawn.
But the practical experience is even more impressive: since 1993, when MM1018 was first used to install bearings on the Cologne South Bridge, the full-surface connection has been proven to still be in top condition, as it was on day one.
Our MM1018 has a general building authority approval that recommends the use of the gap compensation material up to a gap height of 10 mm. However, MM1018 – the liquid lining sheet – is also ideally suited for higher gap dimensions and has been used many times. Tests up to a height of 140 mm are convincing. A combination with conventional lining sheets is also possible in order to achieve the abZ recommendation of a gap height of 10 mm.
