B) storage below 25 °C DESCRIPTION Sikaflex®-298 is a slightly thixotropic 1-component polyurethane adhesive which cures on exposure to atmospheric humidity. It is used for Teak deck bedding. Sikaflex®-298 meets the regulations set out by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). PRODUCT BENEFITS ■ Long open time ■ Slightly thixotropic ■ Sound deadening properties ■ Elastic behavior ■ Contains no highly inflammable solvents AREAS OF APPLICATION Sikaflex®-298 is suitable for bonding deck covering materials made from synthetic resins (except polyethylene and polypropylene), and for bedding-in of teak plank decking laid on top of the sub deck surface. Suitable substrates include GRP, marine plywood, steel, aluminum sealed with an anti-corrosion coating (epoxy or polyurethane-acrylic based) and stainless steel. Sikaflex®-298 has a longer skinning time as the Sikaflex®-298 FC version and might be used where elevated temperature and/or higher humidity are expected. Sikaflex®-298 is suitable for experienced professional users only. Test with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed to ensure adhesion and material compatibility.

PACKAGING INFORMATION CURE MECHANISM Sikaflex®-298 cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture. At low temperatures the water content of the air is generally lower and the curing reaction proceeds somewhat slower (see diagram 1). CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Sikaflex®-298 is generally resistant to fresh water, seawater, diluted acids and diluted caustic solutions; temporarily resistant to fuels, mineral oils, vegetable and animal fats and oils; not resistant to organic acids, glycolic alcohol, concentrated mineral acids and caustic solutions or solvents.
