SikaMelt®-255

Removable hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive

SikaMelt®-255 is a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive based on thermoplastic rubber. It has a very high cohesion and can be removed completely from the bonded substrates. SikaMelt®-255 was designed for applications were only a temporary fixation is needed.  

  • Removable
  • High cohesion
  • Good heat resistance

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • Removable
  • High cohesion
  • Good heat resistance
 

Areas of Application

SikaMelt®-255 is designed to stick to papers, films and metal foils, textiles, foams and a wide variety of other materials. Its high cohesion enables a good removability. SikaMelt®-255 is not to be used on substrates containing monomeric plasticizer.
This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed ensuring adhesion and material compatibility.

Technical Information

CURE MECHANISM

SikaMelt®-255 is a physically hardening adhesive.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

SikaMelt®-255 is resistant to aqueous surfactant, weak acids and caustic solutions.
The chemical resistance is influenced by several factors such as chemical composition, concentration, period of exposure and temperature. Therefore a project related testing in case of chemical or thermal exposure is required.

Application

Application Information

Surface preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust.
Based on the surface and type of material, a physical or chemical pre-treatment might be required. Type of pre-treatment must be determined by preliminary tests.

Application

With adequate processing equipment SikaMelt®-255 can be applied directly or by transfer method. It can be applied as film, dot, bead or spray application. For automated applications a suitable filter system is required.
Due to the better adhesion performance the direct method is usually chosen whenever possible. The transfer method is often used in combination with substrates that are porous and absorbing such as foams or when they are sensitive to high temperature such as thin PE films. To protect the adhesive surface against dust, light and oxygen it is necessary to cover the adhesive film with silicone coated paper or foil.

 

To meet the required application properties the adhesive viscosity can be adjusted by adapting the application temperature (see diagram 1).

During breaks SikaMelt®-255 is to be processed as follows:
For breaks ≥ 1 h the heating needs to be lowered to 80 °C and for breaks ≥ 4 h the heating needs to be switched off.
To ensure a constant quality during the whole production process it is recommended to protect the adhesive in the melting tank with nitrogen or carbon dioxide (to avoid possible reaction of the product with oxygen).
For advice on selecting and setting up suitable processing equipment contact the System Engineering Department of Sika Industry.

Removal

SikaMelt®-255 may be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover-208 or another suitable solvent.
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.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

SikaMelt®-255 has to be stored at temperature below 40 °C in a dry place.
For transportation purposes, the storage temperature can be exceeded for a period of max. 4 weeks up to 60 °C.
