PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaFast-1640 is ideally suited to bond rear mirror brackets to vehicle windscreens. It is suitable to bond glass, ceramics and metals as well as combinations of these materials. It may also be used for magnetic materials (ferrites). This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Test with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.PackagingSikaFast-1640 Gel

Technical Information CURE MECHANISM SikaFast-1640 is a no-mix acrylate system that cures by radical chain polymerisation when SikaFast-1640 Gel and SikaFast-1640 Activator are brought into contact. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE In the view of potential chemical or thermal exposure, it is required to conduct a project related testing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application Information Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Remove all loose particles or residues by cleaning it thoroughly, for example with an IPA wipe. Application Mark the area where the adhesive has to be applied for correct alignment. Apply plenty of the SikaFast-1640 Activator with the brush which is part of the closure of the bottle to one of the bonding surfaces. On glass to metal applications, the SikaFast-1640 Activator is applied on the glass side. The SikaFast-1640 Activator is free of solvents and must be liquid when joining the two parts. It therefore must not dry off. Apply a thin layer of the SikaFast-1640 Gel onto the other substrate. Join the part with the activated glass surface and hold with light pressure for about 20 seconds. Excess adhesive must be removed immediately (latest within 40 seconds from joining) with a clean cloth. The adhesive reaches about 50 % of the final strength after 15 to 20 minutes. Optimum temperature for the bonding process is between 15 °C and 25 °C. The influence of the reactivity by temperature changes has to be respected. Avoid bonding on glass surfaces that were exposed to direct sun light (hot surface). Due to the limited gap filling capability of SikaFast-1640 the bond faces must have compatible contours. The bonded area must not exceed 10 cm², due to higher risk of stress-cracking. Removal Uncured excess of SikaFast-1640 can be removed easily before curing with a dry wipe, with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once the adhesive is cured it can only be removed mechanically. Do not use solvents on skin. |
