Increase Throughput with Direct-to-Metal and Paintable Immediately 2K Seam Sealers

When it comes to 2K seam sealers, direct-to-metal (DTM) and paintable immediately* technologies help shops turn more cars per week. DTM seam sealers eliminate initial primer application, gun cleaning, and scuff time, reducing cycle time as much as 75 minutes while reducing material waste. The capability to paint immediately can save an additional 30 minutes. As always, fewer steps and products in a repair reduce failures and the likelihood of a redo.  

SEM is the only company to offer DTM and paintable immediately 2K seam sealers in all four OEM colors.
