Read more| Multipurpose adhesive for marine applications Sikaflex-292i is a non-sag 1-component polyurethane adhesive of thixotropic, paste-like consistency which cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture. It exhibits excellent adhesive properties and a good mechanical strength. Sikaflex-292i meets the low spread of flame requirements set out by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaflex-292i is suitable for structural joints in marine constructions which will be subjected to high dynamic stresses. It is suitable to bond metals, particularly aluminium (including anodized finishes), metal primers and paint coatings (2-component systems), or ceramic materials, plastics such as GRP (unsaturated polyester resin), ABS, etc. Seek manufacturer’s advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex-292i on materials prone to stress cracking. This product 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-292i 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 1: Curing speed for Sikaflex-292i CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Sikaflex-292i 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 Sikaflex-292i can be processed between 10 °C and 40 °C (climate and product) but changes in reactivity and application properties have to be considered. The optimum temperature for substrate and sealant is between 15 °C and 25 °C. 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
Sikaflex-292i can be processed with manual, pneumatic or electric driven piston guns. 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 developed a skin. Tooling and finishing Tooling and finishing must be carried out within the skin time of the sealant. It is recommended using Sika Tooling Agent N. Other finishing agents must be tested for suitability and compatibility prior the use. Removal Uncured Sikaflex-292i 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 Sika Cleaner-350H cleaning towels or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin. |
