Sika® Pinkgrip® Solvent Free - SF

A DIRECT BOND SOLVENT FREE GAP FILLING ADHESIVE

Sika® Pinkgrip® Solvent Free can be used to replace mechanical fixings in a wide variety of home improvement applications. Ideal for bonding wood, brick, plaster, plasterboard, polystyrene, metals and plastics.

  • Solvent free formulation.
  • Excellent adhesion/bond strength - adheres to most common surfaces.
  • Enhanced slump resistance for quick simple direct bonding without the need for temporary support in many applications.
  • Good 'nip off' quality to prevent messy stringing of adhesive.
  • High solids formulation - excellent gap filling properties.
  • Extended open time - allows for easy repositioning after fixing.
  • Will adhere to damp surfaces.
  • Water clean up - no hazardous solvents.

Application steps

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The surfaces to be glued should be clean and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. Wood, plaster and brick may be damp but not running wet. Use mechanical abrasion to clean porous surfaces if necessary before application. Sika® PVA can be used to prime substrates.

APPLICATION

Apply Sika® PINK GRIP® SF to one side either in strips or daubs. Position the object to be fixed, then move from side to side and simultaneously apply pressure to achieve an even bond. If the object is wrongly positioned, slide it to the correct position. Finally, apply
maximum pressure for a short time (up to 1 minute). Wipe away any excess with a damp cloth making a neat joint between the two bonded surfaces. Temporary mechanical fixings may be required for heavy objects while full bond strength is reached.
