PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaflex-545 is especially designed for applications which require a very high initial grab and a broad adhesion range. Suitable substrate materials include timber, glass, metals, metal primers and paint coatings (2-part systems), ceramic materials and plastics. Seek manufacturer’s advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex-545 on materials prone to stress cracking.Sikaflex-545 is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed ensuring adhesion and material compatibility. Packaging

Technical Information CURE MECHANISM Sikaflex-545 cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture. At low temperatures the water content of the air is generally lower and the curing reaction proceeds some-what slower (see diagram 1). Diagram 1: Curing speed Sikaflex-545 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Sikaflex-545 is generally resistant to fresh water, seawater, diluted acids and diluted caustic solutions; temporarily resistant to fuels, mineral oils, vegetable and animal fats and oils; not resistant to organic acids, glycolic alcohol, concentrated mineral acids and caustic solutions or solvents. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application Information Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Surface treatment depends on the specific nature of the substrates and is crucial for a long lasting bond. Suggestions for surface preparation may be found on the current edition of the appropriate Sika Pre-treatment Chart. Consider that these suggestions are based on experience and have in any case to be verified by tests on original substrates. Application Apply the adhesive with a suitable caulking gun. Take care to avoid air entrapment in the joint. Consider that the viscosity will increase at low temperature. For easy application, condition the adhesive at ambient temperature prior to use. To ensure a uniform thickness of the bondline it is recommend to apply the adhesive in form of a triangular bead (see figure 1).

Sikaflex-545 can be processed with manual, pneumatic or electric driven piston guns as well as pump equipment. The open time is significantly shorter in hot and humid climate. The parts must always be installed within the open time. Never join bonding parts if the adhesive has built a skin. Tooling and finishing Tooling and finishing must be carried out within the skin time of the adhesive. It is recommended using Sika Tooling Agent N. Other finishing agents must be tested for suitability and compatibility prior the use. Removal Uncured Sikaflex-545 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Do not use solvents on skin. Overpainting Sikaflex-545 can be best painted within the skin formation time. If painting process takes place after the sealant has built a skin, adhesion could be improved by treating the joint surface with Sika Aktivator-100 or Sika Aktivator-205 prior to paint process. If the paint requires a baking process (> 80 °C), best performance is achieved by allowing the sealant to fully cure first. All paints have to be tested by carrying preliminary trials under manufacturing conditions. The elasticity of paints is usually lower than that of sealants. This could lead to cracking of the paint in the joint area. |
