Because of its excellent weatherability this product can also be used to seal joints in exposed areas. Suitable substrates are aluminum (bright or anodized), GRP (polyester resin), stainless steel, timber, 2-component coatings, and plastic glazing materials (PC, PMMA). Seek manufacturers advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex-295 UV on materials prone to stress cracking. This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent application properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistant to aging and weathering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for organic glasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for the OEM market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheelmark approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, dust, and contaminants.

Suggestions for surface preparation may be found on the current edition of the appropriate Sika Pre-treatment Chart. Consider that these suggestions are based on experience and have in any case to be verified by tests on original substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSikaflex-295 UV can be processed between 10 C and 35 C (climate and product) but changes in reactivity and application properties have to be considered. The optimum temperature for substrate and sealant is between 15 C and 25 C.\u003cbr\u003eConsider that the viscosity will increase at low temperatures. For easy application, condition the adhesive at ambient temperature prior to use. To ensure a uniform thickness of the bonding it is recommended to apply the adhesive in form of a triangular bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTooling  Finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTooling and finishing must be carried out within the skin time of the product.

Do not use solvents on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverpainting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSikaflex-295 UV can be painted prior to and after the formation of the skin. If the painting process takes place after the sealant has built a skin, 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 baking process (\u0026gt; 80 C), the best performance is achieved by allowing the sealant to fully cure first. All paints have to be tested by carrying preliminary trials under manufacturing conditions. The elasticity of paints is usually lower than that of sealants. This could lead to cracking of the paint in the joint area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!--- cis2:m2lumZRk ---\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sika Sikaflex 295 UV is a high-performance, 1-component polyurethane sealant designed for marine and exterior applications. Its paste-like consistency cures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture, providing a durable, flexible bond suitable for organic glass and various substrates. This sealant is ideal for sealing and bonding plastic glazing materials in boats and ships, meeting the stringent requirements set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Its excellent weather resistance and aging properties make it suitable for both interior and exterior marine environments, ensuring long-lasting performance in exposed areas. The product’s versatility extends to bonding aluminum (bright or anodized), GRP, stainless steel, timber, and plastics such as PC and PMMA, making it a comprehensive solution for marine glazing and sealing needs. Its OEM approval and Wheelmark certification underscore its reliability and compliance with industry standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication and surface preparation are critical for optimal results. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dust. Proper surface treatment tailored to substrate specifics is essential for achieving a strong, lasting bond. Sikaflex-295 UV can be processed at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C, with best application conditions between 15°C and 25°C. For ease of application, condition the sealant at ambient temperature and apply in a triangular bead to ensure uniform thickness. Tooling should be completed within the skin time, with Sika Tooling Agent N recommended for finishing. Uncured material can be removed with Sika Remover-208 or similar solvents, while cured sealant requires mechanical removal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePost-application, Sikaflex-295 UV can be painted before or after skin formation. For improved adhesion, surface treatment with Sika Aktivator-100 or 205 is advised prior to painting, especially when using coatings that require baking at temperatures above 80°C. Conduct preliminary tests to confirm compatibility with specific paints and substrates, as elasticity differences can cause cracking. The sealant’s flexibility and weather resistance ensure it withstands harsh marine conditions, making it an excellent choice for sealing joints exposed to weathering and UV radiation. Designed for professional use, Sikaflex-295 UV provides a reliable, durable bond in demanding marine environments, with proven performance and industry approvals ensuring confidence in its application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eExcellent application properties for precise sealing and bonding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eResistant to aging, weathering, and UV exposure for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuitable for bonding organic glasses and various substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOEM approved and Wheelmark certified for marine applications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with a range of materials including aluminum, GRP, stainless steel, timber, and plastics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sika","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44528891363370,"sku":"92120","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/92120XL.jpg?v=1783049388","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/sika-sikaflex-295-uv-black-sealant-and-marine-adhesive-10oz-tube-with-nozzle","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
