Integral Products provides pre-mixed frozen (PMF) multi-component adhesives and coatings, including polysulfides, polyurethanes, silicones, and epoxies. PMF products are mixed uniformly, de-aired, and frozen so they arrive at your facility ready to use. Our PMF products are processed carefully and tested for proper mix and cure, so you receive a high-quality sealant that meets your requirements every time.
Our industrial chemical solutions are processed according to strict performance standards, ensuring that each batch delivers consistent and reliable results. Through rigorous batch testing and quality control, we can effectively eliminate variability, providing dependable performance every time.
Learn about the benefits of PMF products, our mixing and prep process, and some common use cases for them.
Key Benefits of PMF Materials
PMF products eliminate the need to measure and mix separate ingredients prior to use. They also help reduce waste and the need to stock a variety of individual components for each blend. What’s more, PMF products don’t contain trapped air, which makes them easy to dispense and work with, especially in high-volume operations.
Other key benefits include:
- Enhanced efficiency and cost savings. Since there is no need to spend time on preparation, mixing, or cleanup, throughput increases and lead times are shorter. Less labor time is spent on sealant prep and more on productivity.
- Extended shelf life and controlled stability. PMF materials are typically flash-frozen and then stored at sub-zero temperatures. This process significantly increases shelf life without compromising cure or performance characteristics.
- Improved consistency and quality control. Every cartridge comes fully tested for proper de-airing, mixing, and curing. This reduces the amount of re-application or rework due to air bubbles, inconsistent dispensing, or improperly mixed products.
- Reduced safety risk and environmental impact. Frozen delivery of pre-mixed ingredients minimizes direct exposure to hazardous or volatile chemicals.
Our PMF Prep Process
We follow this set process for preparing all of our PMF products to guarantee consistent, uniform mixing, performance, and overall quality:
- All component ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
- Entrapped air is removed.
- Materials are packaged in containers specified by the customer (e.g., cartridges, syringes, tubes).
- Products are flash-frozen solid.
- Products are transferred to a storage freezer and held at sub-zero temperatures.
- PMF items are shipped in containers with dry ice.
Upon arrival, the product needs to thaw at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes prior to use. No mixing or additional prep is required, and there is no detrimental effect on cure or performance. Customers can also store PMF materials frozen at or below -40 ºC.
Use Cases Across Industries
Many industrial applications use two-part adhesive systems that require accurate mixing for proper curing. Unfortunately, in-house mixing can have challenges, such as:
- Inadequate blending.
- Incorrect ratios.
- Contamination.
- Air bubbles.
- Production delays.
Because of these inefficiencies, PMFs are widely used in many industries including aerospace, pharma, military, biotech, and research and development sectors in many ways including:
- Sealing fuel tanks and fuselage joints.
- Bonding windshield components.
- Encapsulation and underfilling in electronic components.
- Medical devices.
At Integral Products, we measure, blend, and degas materials carefully, ensuring each batch delivers consistent results. Our rigorous batch testing and quality control processes set us apart in the frozen adhesive market, making us a trusted supplier for sealing solutions used with mission-critical components.
