Surface Preparation:

Ensure substrates are clean, dry, and free from oils, dust, and contaminants. Surface preparation is crucial and should be tailored to the specific substrates in question. Reference the Sika® Pre-treatment Chart for guidance.

Application Guidelines:

Process Sikaflex® 295UV at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C for optimal results. The ideal conditions for performance are between 15°C and 25°C. To promote ease of application, allow the adhesive to acclimate to room temperature before use, and apply in a triangular bead for uniform thickness.

Finishing and Tooling:

Finishing should occur within the product's skin time using Sika® Tooling Agent N. Alternate agents must be assessed for compatibility.

Cleanup:

Uncured material can be cleaned from tools with Sika® Remover-208 or an appropriate solvent. Once cured, removal requires mechanical action. Clean exposed skin immediately using Sika® Cleaner-350H or a suitable hand cleaner.

Painting:

Sikaflex® 295UV can be painted before or after skin formation. If painting occurs after curing, consider treating the surface with Sika® Aktivator-100 or Sika® Aktivator-205 to improve adhesion. Ensure that paint types are evaluated for compatibility with the sealant.
