Areas of Application
Sikasil® WS-305 S can be used for weatherproofing and sealing applications where durability under severe conditions is required.
Sikasil® WS-305 S is particularly suited as a weather seal for curtain walling and windows.
This product is suitable for professional experienced users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.
Cure Mechanism
Sikasil® WS-305 S cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture. The reaction thus starts at the surface and proceeds to the core of the joint. The curing speed depends on the relative humidity and the temperature (see diagram 1). Heating above 50 °C to speed-up the vulcanization is not advisable as it may lead to bubble formation.At low temperatures the water content of the air is lower and the curing reaction proceeds more slowly.
Method of Application
Surface preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and dust.
Advice on specific applications and surface pretreatment methods is available from the Technical Department of Sika Industry.
Tooling and finishing
Tooling and finishing must be carried out within the skin time of the adhesive.
When tooling freshly applied Sikasil® WS-305 S press the adhesive to the joint flanks to get a good wetting of the bonding surface.
Removal
Uncured Sikasil® WS-305 S may be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Remover208 or another suitable solvent.
Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically.
Hands and exposed skin should be washed immediately using Sika®
Handclean towels or a suitable industrial hand cleaner and water.
Do not use solvents!
Overpainting
Sikasil® WS-305 S cannot be overpainted.
