MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® is a composite material that has been specially developed for gap and tolerance compensation between structural surfaces. The highly filled metal polymer, which has a general building approval, enables a full-surface, force- and form-fit connection of structural components. It adapts flexibly to any gap geometry and reliably compensates for imperfections. The ideal solution for stable, durable and precise connections.

More InformationChoose the right area of application and find the optimum product solution for your project.
The innovative gap filler MM1018 is available in both a paste and a liquid version and can be easily and efficiently filled onto the component surface or injected directly into the existing gap. These flexible application options ensure a strong, durable bond.
The system adapts to any gap geometry and ensures a full-surface connection. It can be used directly on the construction site without the need for mechanical processing. Thanks to its high corrosion resistance and durability, it offers a reliable solution. With a compressive strength of over 160 N/mm², it is one of the strongest compensation systems and is also suitable for pre-stressed connections.

More Information
The components are mixed and poured. After a curing time of 24 hours, the sliding surface is ready. Reworking is possible. Thanks to its excellent flow properties, MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® fills all imperfections, ensuring a 100% friction-locked and form-fit base for your machine.
The high stability of the product, even when vibrating, is a great advantage for the stability of your machine. The positive and non-positive connection also prevents premature damage and wear.
Here you will find the general building approval (abZ) for our product.
This approval confirms compliance with the requirements of building law and guarantees the safety and quality of the application.

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.
We are proud of an impressive list of references that underlines our leading position in the industry. With many years of experience and a proven track record, we offer customized solutions and innovative products that increase the performance and efficiency of our customers worldwide. From renowned companies to emerging businesses, our customers rely on MM1018 – The Liquid-Shim® and our expertise to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
