Accelerated glazing adhesive

Sikaflex-271 PowerCure is an accelerated elastic polyurethane adhesive for glazing and vehicle-glass-replacement applications. Suitable for bonding materials relevant for direct glazing such as paints, glass, ceramic frits, painted and e-coated surfaces in commercial-vehicle production and repair. Curing of Sikaflex-271 PowerCure is accelerated by Sika’s PowerCure technology which makes it largely independent of atmospheric conditions.  

  • Accelerated curing and adhesion build-up
  • Excellent application properties
  • Ideal for glass replacement in commercial vehicles
  • Low climate dependency of the curing speed with Sika Booster
  • High mechanical strength
  • Solvent-free
PRODUCT BENEFITS

Usage
Sikaflex-271 PowerCure is designed especially for manual direct-glazing application and vehicle-glass replacement in commercial vehicles. Thanks to the PowerCure Technology Sikaflex-271 PowerCure exhibits a fast strength and adhesion build-up. 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.

Technical Information
CURE MECHANISM

Sikaflex-271 PowerCure cures by reaction with moisture provided by the accelerator paste and largely independent from atmospheric moisture. For typical strength build up data see table below.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Sikaflex-271 PowerCure 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. All pre-treatment steps must be confirmed by preliminary tests on original substrates considering specific conditions in the assembly process.

Application

Setup the PowerCure Dispenser according to the PowerCure User Manual. If the application is discontinued for more than 2 minutes, the mixer needs to be replaced.
Sikaflex-271 PowerCure can be processed between 5 °C and 40 °C but changes in reactivity as well as application properties need to be considered. The optimum temperature for substrate and adhesive is between 15 °C and 25 °C.

 


The open time is significantly shorter in hot and humid climate. The parts must always be joined within the open time. As a rule of thumb, a change of + 10 °C reduces the open time by half.
To ensure a uniform thickness of the bondline it is recommended to apply the adhesive in form of a triangular bead (see figure 1).

Removal

Uncured Sikaflex-271 PowerCure can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin have to be washed immediately using hand wipes such as Sika Cleaner-350H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin.
