Overview

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • High transparency
  • Soft rubbery hardness to avoid stress cracking on glass container
  • Low viscosity
  • Self-degassing behaviour
  • Good UV resistance
 

Areas of Application

SikaBiresin® TD150 TD151 is used for manufacturing of decorative objects simulating water, commonly used in vases for floral displays, colored liquids in glass bottles, or inclusions of objects inside plexiglass frames, which are often seen in museums, art installations, or miniature sets.
This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests under actual processing conditions and with additional materials such as coatings and release agents must be performed to proof material compatibility.

Application

Surface preparation

For products with long pot life and low viscosity the casting frame must be perfectly tight.
In case of simple and flat surfaces, a tape could be used as casting frame. Apply the tape around the border with the desired offset and make sure it is tight. The resin usually does not adhere to the tape.
A liquid or pasty wax could be used to prevent adhesion on models and supports.
Wood or other porous surfaces of models must be sealed before casting process. Quick setting epoxy or a varnish could be used but these sealers must be cured prior to the casting process.

Application

An adequate ambient temperature is the most important parameter to successfully cast SikaBiresin® TD150 TD151. There is a link between ambient temperature, volume and layer thickness. Excessive thickness or higher ambient temperature may induce high exothermic reaction leading to yellowing, cracks or uneven surface once cured. If increased casting thicknesses are required, it is recommended to ensure a low ambient temperature and to cast the material immediately after mixing and degassing.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Both components must be stored at temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C in original unopened containers.
