Technical Information

CURE MECHANISM

SikaLastomer® IG-106 is a non-reactive polyisobutylene and stays paste-like and viscoelastic.

Application

Application Information

METHOD OF APPLICATION

Surface preparation

Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and dust.

Application

SikaLastomer® IG-106 must be heated-up to the required application temperature before being applied by the extruder. Preliminary application tests to set up the equipment are mandatory.

SikaLastomer® IG-106 must be applied with the same amount on both sides of the spacer. It is recommended to apply 3.0 ± 0.3  g per linear meter on each side of the spacer.

SikaLastomer® IG-106 bead on the spacer must be continuous without interruptions on the whole perimeter of the spacer.

Removal

SikaLastomer® IG-106 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.
