Areas of Application
SikaDamp®-140 AL was initially developed for the noise damping in the field of industry solutions, such as air ducts, partition walls, doors, window sills, ship building and railway solutions. It is as well suitable for automotive solutions, in household and small appliance sector and in many other business fields, where damping with high density bitumen foil is required.This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed ensuring adhesion and material compatibility.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
SikaDamp®-140 AL has a good resistance against water, alcohol and diluted acids and bases. If exposure is expected, tests to determine specific resistivity are required.
Application
Surface preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil, water and dust.
Application
Ensure proper and full surface adhesion over the entire geometry of the part by pressing the parts using a press roll.
Application may only be processed on material and substrate temperatures between 20 °C and 35 °C. If the bituminous mat must be applied outside the recommended temperature conditions, a validation of the specific application is required.
For information regarding typical loss factors, see diagram 1. The layer structure is shown in figure 1.

STORAGE CONDITIONS
SikaDamp®-140 AL has to be stored dry and protected from UV light. The storage temperature is between 0 °C and 35 °C. Consider, that at temperature below 15 °C the bitumen starts to get brittle and can break. Therefore, if products are sourced from a cold storage it must be handled with care.
Ensure that the product has reached the defined application temperature before it is applied. This might be realized by storing the parts for 24 to 48 hours prior application at the assembly line.
Note: Storage outside of standard conditions can affect the shelf life.
