Read more| Sikaflex-290 DC PRO is a 1-component polyurethane based joint sealing compound, specifically formulated for caulking joints in traditional timber marine decking. It exhibits excellent weathering resistance and is therefore well suited for highly exposed open joints within the maritime environment. The sealing compound cures to form a flexible elastomer which allows a fast and easy sanding process.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
UsageSikaflex-290 DC PRO is designed for caulking of joints in traditional timber decking for boat-, yacht and commercial ship constructions. 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.Packaging

Typical Product Data

Technical Information CURE MECHANISM Sikaflex-290 DC PRO 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-290 DC PRO CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Sikaflex-290 DC PRO offers effective long-term resistance to fresh water, seawater and mild aqueous cleaning agents. The sealant is not resistant to solvents, acids, caustic solutions and chlorine containing cleaners. A brief contact with fuels or lubricants has no significant effect on the durability of the sealant. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Application Information Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. In case of timber the use of an adequate Primer, e.g. Sika Primer-290 DC, is mandatory. Additional surface treatment, for example for deck perimeter sealing, depends on the specific nature of the substrates. Therefore all recommendations must be determined by preliminary tests. Application For satisfactory results the adhesive must be applied with adequate equipment such as pump, dosing units or piston operated application guns. Removal Uncured Sikaflex-290 DC PRO 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 or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin! |
