Sikaflex®-529 AT is a sprayable 1-component Silane Terminated Polymer (STP) sealant that cures on exposure to atmospheric humidity. It is used for seam sealing of factory provided original structures (surface areas and beads) for vehicle body assemblies. It adheres well to all the materials commonly used in body shops, e.g. metal primers and paint coatings, metals, painted plastics and plastics. Where applied, it improves the resistance against stone chip and other attacks to the vehicle body.
Sikaflex®-529 AT is designed for use as a sprayable elastic sealant for seam sealing, lap joints and stone chip protection in collision repair and vehicle body construction.
Seek manufacturer’s advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex®-529 AT 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.
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust.
Surface treatment depends on the specific nature of the substrates and is crucial for a long lasting bond. 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.
Sikaflex®-529 AT can be processed between 5 °C and 40 °C 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.
Sikaflex®-529 AT can be processed with manual, pneumatic or electric driven piston guns. For spray application it is recommended to use the Sika® Spray Gun (cartridge) or the Jetflow Gun (unipack).
Sikaflex®-529 AT can be tooled and finished, for example, with a paint brush or spatula. Tooling and finishing must be carried out within the skin time of the sealant. It is recommended using Sika® Tooling Agent N. Other finishing agents must be tested for suitability and compatibility prior the use.
Uncured Sikaflex®-529 AT can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover-208 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin have to be washed immediately using hand wipes such as Sika® Cleaner-350H or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water. Do not use solvents on skin!
Sikaflex®-529 AT can be best painted within the skin formation time. If 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 paint process. If the paint requires a baking process (> 80 °C), 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.
