Read more| Warm-applied direct-glazing adhesive with instant tack and acceleration option Sikaflex-276 PC-2 is a warm-applied, 1-component polyurethane direct-glazing adhesive with high initial grip to prevent glass slip-down. Suited for bonding materials relevant for direct glazing such as glass, ceramic frits, painted and e-coated surfaces in commercial-vehicle production. Sikaflex-276 PC-2 can be accelerated with Sika’s Booster system.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaflex-276 PC-2 is designed for direct-glazing applications in the transportation industry, especially where a high initial grip with short fixation times is required. The product is suitable for both manual and automatic applications. Seek manufacturer’s advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex-276 PC-2 on materials prone to stress cracking. Sikaflex-276 PC-2 is suitable for experienced professional users only. Test with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed ensuring adhesion and material compatibility.Packaging

Typical Product Data

Technical Information CURE MECHANISM Sikaflex-276 PC-2 cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture. At low temperatures the water content of the air is generally lower and the curing reaction proceeds somewhat slower (see diagram 1). Diagram: curing speed Sikaflex-276 PC-2 CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Sikaflex-276 PC-2 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, dust and contaminants. Application Sikaflex-276 PC-2 must be processed at 60 °C, at an ambient temperature between 10 °C and 35 °C (changes in reactivity and application properties have to be considered). The optimum temperature for the substrates is between 15 °C and 25 °C. Unipacks need to be heated prior the application - this usually takes 60 minutes in a dedicated oven set at 60 °C. Unipacks can be re-heated from cold several times, but must not be kept at 60 °C for more then 10 hours in total. To ensure a uniform thickness of the bondline it is recommend to apply the adhesive in form of a triangular bead (see figure 1).
Figure 1: Recommended bead configuration The open time is significantly shorter in hot and humid climate. The glass must always be installed within the open time. Never install a glass after the adhesive has built a skin. Removal Uncured Sikaflex-276 PC-2 may be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. |
