- Superior Adhesion: Establishes a strong bond between different substrates and Sika’s 1-component Polyurethanes.
- Moisture Reactive: Forms a resilient layer upon reacting with moisture, ideal for marine settings.
- Versatile Application: Compatible with a wide range of plastics and paints, reducing the need for multiple primers.
- Time Efficient: Eliminates the need for previous activation steps on certain plastics, speeding up the application process.
- Durability: Provides a long-lasting finish capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of marine environments.
Areas of Application
Sika® Primer-209 D Black is designed to improve adhesion on a variety of plastics and painted surfaces commonly used in marine and boating applications, including:
| Compatible Plastics | Compatible Paints and Coatings |
|---|---|
| GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) | Alkyds/Melamine Paints |
| Epoxy Resins | Powder Coatings |
| PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | Baking Varnishes |
| ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) | Melamine |
| PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) | — |
| PC (Polycarbonate) | — |
| PS (Polystyrene) | — |
| Acrylics | — |
Due to the wide variety of plastics used in marine applications, it is mandatory to perform preliminary tests on the original substrates under actual production conditions to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
- Apply Sika® Primer-209 D Black evenly to the surface using a brush, roller, or spray equipment.
- Allow the primer to react with moisture and form a thin, durable layer.
- Once the primer has dried, proceed with the application of Sika’s 1-component Polyurethanes or other compatible adhesives.
Important Information
This product is intended for experienced professional users in the marine and boating industries. It is crucial to perform tests with actual substrates and under real-world conditions to ensure both adhesion and material compatibility. Consult with the manufacturer and perform suitability testing, especially on materials prone to stress cracking, before full-scale application.
Safety and Compatibility
Handle Sika® Primer-209 D Black with care, following all relevant safety guidelines. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.
