TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Shore A Hardness
- ~37 after 28 Days
Service Temperature
- −40 °C min. / +80 °C max.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Yield
- ~100 spots. Diameter = 30 mm. Thickness = 4 mm
- ~5 m bead Nozzle diameter = 5 mm (~60 ml per linear meter)
* Note: For heavy items more or thicker beads (up to ~120 ml per linear metre) maybe
required.
These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to
surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
Sag Flow
- 0 (20 mm profile, +23 °C). (ISO 7390)
Ambient Air Temperature
- +5 °C to +40 °C
Substrate Temperature
- +5 °C min. / +40 °C max. Minimum +3 °C above dew point temperature and
free from frost and ice
Curing Rate
- ~3mm / 24 hours (+23 °C / 50 % r.h.)
SkinningTime
- ~20 min (+23 °C / 50 % r.h.)
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
- *For mirror bonding, do not use over vinyl backing.
- For optimum workability, the recommended adhesive temperature is +20 °C.
- Application during high temperature changes is not recommended (movement
during the curing). - Before bonding, check adhesion and compatibility of paints and coatings
by carrying out preliminary trials. - Sikaflex®-116 High Grab can be overpainted with most conventional water-
based coating and paint systems. However, they must first be tested to en-
sure compatibility by carrying out preliminary trials. - The best over-painting results are obtained when the adhesive is allowed
to fully cure. Note that non-flexible paint systems may impair the elasticity of the
adhesive and lead to cracking of the paint film. - Colour variations may occur due to exposure to chemicals, high
temperatures and/or UV-radiation (especially with the colour shade white). - However, a change in colour is purely of aesthetic nature and does not
adversely influence the technical performance or durability of the product. - Always use Sikaflex®-116 High Grab in conjunction with mechanical
fixings for overhead applications or heavy items. - For very heavy items provide temporary support until Sikaflex®-116 High
Grab has fully cured. - Full surface applications / fixings are not recommended since the inner
part of the adhesive layer may never cure. - Before using on reconstituted, cast or natural stone, contact Sika
Technical Services. - Do not use on bituminous substrates, natural rubber, EPDM rubber or on
any building materials which might leach oils, plasticisers or solvents that could
degrade the adhesive. - Do not use on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP),
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE / Teflon), and certain plasticised synthetic
materials. Preliminary trials are recommended or contact Sika® Technical Services. - Do not use for glass bonding if the bond line is exposed to sunlight.
- Do not use for structural bonding.
- Do not expose uncured Sikaflex®-116 High Grab to alcohol containing
products as this may interfere with the curing reaction.
