Overview

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • Simulation of PE / PP
  • Very high impact resistance
  • Good flow behavior
  • Short demolding time
  • Cured parts can be machined
 

Areas of Application

SikaBiresin® RG52 PW is designed for manufacturing of housings, coverings and claddings for machines and electronic devices.
Its good mechanical properties make it particularly suitable for components in vehicle construction and car tuning, such as spoilers, front and side skirts, and engine coverings.
Its good flow behavior is well suited for the production of thin-walled parts with complex shapes, such as ventilation ducts or gridshaped radiator panels, and parts with integrated reinforcement elements.
This product is suitable for experienced professional users only.

Application

Surface preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil and dust.
It is recommended to use wax-based release agents. For further information regarding Sika release agent consult the corresponding Product Data Sheet.

Application

The material and processing temperature shall be between 18 °C and 25 °C.
The mold temperature shall be between 20 °C and 60 °C. Increased mold temperature results in a shorter demolding time.
SikaBiresin® RG52 PW is processed using 2-component low-pressure equipment. These equipment must be specifically set up for processing the parts to be manufactured.

 

The mixing process is performed by dynamic or static-dynamic mixing units.
The mold temperature has a significant influence on the mechanical and thermal properties of the final part. In case of lower mold temperature those properties may be improved by a post curing process.
Depending on the geometry and weight of the part, it is recommended to use a conformer while post curing.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

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