Sikaflex®-292i

Sikaflex®-292i is a non-sag 1-component polyurethane adhesive of thixotropic, paste-like consistency which cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture. It exhibits excellent adhesive properties and a good mechanical strength. Sikaflex®-292i meets the low spread of flame requirements set out by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).  

Sikaflex®-292i is suitable for structural joints in marine constructions which will be subjected to high dynamic stresses. It is suitable to bond metals, particularly aluminium (including anodized finishes), metal primers and paint coatings (2-component systems), or ceramic materials, plastics such as GRP (unsaturated polyester resin), ABS, etc. Seek manufacturer’s advice and perform tests on original substrates before using Sikaflex®-292i on materials prone to stress cracking. This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Test with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.  

Usage

    Good gap-filling properties
    Can be painted
    Bonds well to a wide variety of substrates
    Wheelmark approved
    Solvent free and very low VOC

FAQ

How to bond a rub rail?

You will find different variations and materials for rub rails such as GRP, paints, wood and moulded PVC, etc. Therefore a good surface preparation is key. Products needed depending on the rub rail material to be bonded.

To ensure a good final result follow the advice given in the pre-treatment chart. Common product for rub rail bonding is our assembly adhesive for marine Sikaflex®-292i or the STP based marine sealant Sikaflex®-591.

How to install hatches and fittings on a boat?

Winches, windlasses are subject to high mechanical stresses, fans, hatches and hatch covers to low stresses. To make sure your fittings are sealed strongly we recommend the following:

Bedding and sealing of fittings subject to high mechanical stresses

Deck fittings such as chain plates, winches and guide rollers must absorb very high dynamic stresses. For this purpose, a high-performance product, Sikaflex®-292i, our assembly adhesive, should be used in conjunction with additional mechanical fixings.

Bedding and sealing of fittings subject to minimal mechanical stresses

Deck fittings, such as ventilators and cover strips, need to be waterproofed but are not subject to high tensile or torsion stresses.

These fittings can be effectively bedded and sealed with only Sikaflex®-291i or if the joint remains visible and is exposed to weathering, then use Sikaflex®-591 or Sikaflex®-295 UV.

Check pre-treatment chart for surface preparation of substrates prior to application and follow application steps according to application guidelines.
