Application Information Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust. Application With adequate processing equipment SikaMelt-285 can be applied directly or in a transfer method. It can be applied as film, dot, bead or spray application. For automated applications a suitable filter system is required. Due to the better adhesion performance the direct method is usually chosen whenever possible. The transfer method is often used in combination with substrates that are porous and absorbing such as foams or when they are sensitive to high temperature such as thin PE films. To protect the adhesive surface against dust, light and oxygen it is necessary to cover the adhesive film with silicone coated paper or foil. To meet the required application properties the adhesive viscosity can be adjusted by adapting the application temperature (see diagram 1). Diagram 1: Viscosity as a function of temperature During breaks SikaMelt-285 is to be processed as follows: For breaks ≥ 1 h the heating needs to be lowered to 80 °C and for breaks ≥ 4 h the heating needs to be switched off. Removal SikaMelt-285 may be removed from tools and equipment with Sika Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Do not use solvents on skin. STORAGE CONDITIONS SikaMelt-285 has to be stored at temperature below 40 °C in a dry place. |
