Thixotropic sealant for buses, trucks and trailers

Sikaflex-212 FCC is a single-component sealant with a pasty consistency that hardens with exposure to atmospheric humidity. This product is designed for internal sealing applications.

• It adheres well to a wide variety of substrates
• It can be painted
• Low odor emission

BENEFITS:

• It adheres well to a wide variety of substrates
• It can be painted
• Low odor emission
• It can be sanded

USES:

Sikaflex-212 FC is a universal sealant suitable for most interior sealing applications in the commercial vehicle construction industry. The product has excellent sealing properties and adheres well to most materials commonly used in the commercial vehicle industry, eg. metals, plastics, wood and glass. Sikaflex-212 FC adheres to itself, can be sanded and painted when fully cured.o.
Seek manufacturer's advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex-212 FC on materials prone to stress cracking..
This product is only suitable for experienced professional users. To ensure adhesion and material compatibility, it is necessary to perform tests with substrates under real conditions.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust.
The surface treatment depends on the specific nature of the substrates and is essential for a lasting bond. Suggestions for surface preparation can be found in the current edition of the appropriate Sika Pre-treatment Table. It must be considered that these suggestions are based on experience and must in any case be verified with tests on original mediai

APPLICATION:

Sikaflex-212 FC can be processed between 5 C and 35 C but variations in reactivity and application properties must be considered. The optimum temperature for substrates and sealant is between 15C and 25C.5 °C.
Sikaflex-212 FC can be processed with manual, pneumatic or electric piston guns, as well as with pumping equipment. For advice on how to select and set up a suitable pumping system, contact the System Engineering Department of Sika Industry..

OVERPAINTING:

Sikaflex-212 FC can be painted before and after the skin formation time. If the painting process takes place after the sealant has formed a skin, the adhesion could be improved by treating the joint surface with Sika Aktivator-100 or Sika Aktivator-205 prior to the painting process. If the paint requires a firing process (> 80 C), the best performance is achieved by allowing the sealant to cure fully first. All paints must be tested by carrying out preliminary tests under production conditions.one.
The elasticity of paints is usually lower than that of sealants. This could cause the paint to crack in the joint area
