Areas of Application
SikaBiresin® CR82 is especially suited to the hand lay-up process, also in combination with vacuum bagging. Furthermore, it can be processed by filament winding. The resin system is designed for marine and wind applications, but can also be used for general industrial composites.This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests under actual processing conditions and with additional materials such as fibers and release agents must be performed to proof material compatibility.

Application
Application
The resin system is optimized for processing temperatures between 18 °C – 25 °C. Consider the change in processing parameters if the resin system is processed at different temperatures. The curing must be performed at temperature ≥ 18 °C.
Information regarding reactivity and viscosity development of different combinations of SikaBiresin® CR82 are shown in the diagrams below.
Diagram 1: Reactivity at 23 °C in a 100 ml insulated cup
Diagram 2: Viscosity development at 25 °C
Prior to application, check both components for crystallization. The crystallization process can be reversed by heating the product to 60 °C – 70 °C until the crystals are no longer visible.
Containers must be closed tightly immediately after each use to prevent moisture ingress.
Removal
Uncured SikaBiresin® CR82 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Reinigungsmittel 5 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin shall be washed immediately using industrial hand cleaner and water.
Do not use solvents on skin.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
All components must be stored between 15 °C – 30 °C.
Prior to use check the material for homogeneity and crystallization and make sure to temper it to processing temperature.
