Areas of Application Sikaflex®
-255 FC is designed for direct glazing applications with mineral glass-based windows as well as bonding metal panels (primed and painted). Sikaflex® -255 FC offers extremely high initial bond strength. Its fast rate of cure results in rapid strength development and shorter service times.
- Bonding trim, molding and all kinds of styling elements
- Structural bonding of large parts, including sheet metal, composites and glass
- Used to replace rivets and other mechanical fasteners
- This product is suitable only for experienced professional users.
- Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material

Method of Application
Surface preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from all traces of grease, oil and dust. The surfaces must be treated with a cleaning or activating agent and/or primed with the appropriate primer. S
Application
Cartridges: Pierce cartridge nozzle opening. Unipacs: Place unipac in the application gun and snip off the closure clip. Cut tip of nozzle to appropriate size. For satisfactory results the adhesive must be applied with a piston type manual, air or battery cartridge gun. To ensure uniform thickness of adhesive bead, we recommend that the adhesive is applied in the form of a triangular bead (see illustration). Do not apply below 50°F (10°C) or above 95°F (35°C). The optimum temperature for substrate and adhesive is between 59°F (15°C) and 77°F (25°C).
