APPLICATION METHOD

Surface preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease, oil and dust. Surface preparation depends on the specifics of the substrate and is crucial for a permanent bond. Suggestions for surface preparation can be found in the current issue of the Surface Preparation Guide. It should be taken into account that these recommendations are based on previous experience and must in any case be verified by tests on the original substrates.

App

Sikaflex 521 UV can be applied at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C, but changes in reactivity and application properties must be considered. The optimum temperature for the substrate and sealant is between 15 ° C and 25 ° C.

Sikaflex 521 UV can be applied with manual, pneumatic or electric piston guns as well as pump equipment.

Smoothing and finishing

Smoothing should be carried out before the skin time expires. It is recommended to use Sika Tooling Agent N for smoothing. Other smoothing agents must be tested for suitability and compatibility prior to use.

Removal

Uncured Sikaflex 521 UV can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. After curing, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin should be washed immediately with Sika Cleaner-350H cleaning towels or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on the skin
