A) curing condition: 23 °C for 7 days

B) post curing: 24 hours at 80 °C

Application

Surface preparation

The material, processing and mold or master-model temperature shall be between 18 °C and 25 °C.
Make sure the mold or master model is clean, dry, dust and grease free.
If mold or master-model surface is porous, it must be sealed prior applying the release agent.
It is recommended to use wax-based release agents. For further information regarding Sika release agent consult the corresponding Product Data Sheet.

Application

Immediately after mixing pour the Product into the mold starting at the deepest point.
Demolding time may vary depending on casted thickness and room temperature.
Further post curing of the demolded part can improve the final mechanical properties.
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.
