Technical Information
CURE MECHANISM

SikaFast-555 L03 cures according to radical chain polymerization. Open and fixture time are influenced by mixing ratio deviations as well as temperature. The higher the temperatures, the shorter the open and fixture times are and vice versa.

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 best adhesion performance on non-porous substrates pre-treat the bonding area with Sika ADPrep prior to the bonding process. Due to the diversity of materials, preliminary tests with original substrates are necessary.
Application

SikaFast-555 L03 is applied with a mixing ratio of 10:1 by volume from syringes, cartridges or bulk packaging. 
Consider that if applied in a large mass, heat is generated by the exothermic reaction. To avoid excessive temperature increase, bond line thickness is limited to 3 mm, but must measure at least 0.5 mm.

Optimum temperature for the bonding process is between 15 °C and 25 °C. The approved temperature range for substrates and adhesive is between 5 °C and 40 °C. The influence of the reactivity by temperature changes has to be respected.

 

After the open time has elapsed the bonded parts must not be moved against each other anymore. When the fixture time is reached the parts can be moved provided that no additional stress is distributed to the bond line.
SikaFast-555 L03 can be processed with pneumatic driven piston guns as well as pump equipment. For advice on selecting and setting up a suitable pump system, contact the System Engineering Department of Sika Industry.
Removal

Uncured excess of SikaFast-555 L03 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.
Hands and exposed skin shall be washed immediately using Sika Cleaner-350H towels or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water.

Do not use solvents on skin.
