Use

Sika Hand Cleaner replaces shop towels, dry wipes, paper-towels and rags that are constantly used to wipe hands but can not properly clean them. When you do not have access to soap, water, wash basins or sinks, this is the ideal system to keep hands clean. Sika Hand Cleaner is essential for industrial workers bonding and sealing with urethane, and for mechanics, painters, machinists and all other workers exposed to oily soils. Quickly removes tough-to-clean substances including dirt, heavy grease, adhesives, lubricants, oils, ink, tar, wax, caulk sealant, paint and much more.

Characteristics and Advantages

• Works quickly to remove fresh urethane and primer
• Removes small amounts of cured urethane and dried primer other cleaners can't remove
• Works quickly to loosen and dissolve surface and embedded grease, grime and soil
• Hands are left fresh, clean and conditioned by gentle emollients
• No rinsing, drying or residue, leaves nothing behind but a pleasant fragrance

Use

SikaPower®-415 P1 is suitable for sealing seams (e.g. laser step seams) and joints for sheet metal assembly work. After application, the sealant forms a thin skin upon exposure to atmospheric moisture (approx 50% relative humidity) at ambient temperatures within approximately four (4) hours, making it resistant to wash out. The bonding of oily substrates (standard anti-corrosion treatment and deep drawing oils, at approx 3 g/m2) is possible due to oil uptake during the heat-curing step that is an essential part of the application process.

Characteristics and Advantages

• One-component;
• Elastic;
• Adheres well to oily substrates;
• Pre-cures by exposure to atmospheric moisture at ambient temperature;
• Good wash-out resistance after pre-curing;
• Pre-curing requires no additional equipment;
• Suitable for sealing various metals, e.g. steel, aluminium, zinc-coated steel, etc.;
• Can be electro- or powder-coated after pre-curing;
• Contains no solvents or PVC.
