Sika Primer-207 - Pigmented, Solvent-Based Primer f/Various Substrates

Sika® Primer-207 is a high-performance, solvent-based pigmented primer designed to ensure exceptional adhesion across a variety of substrates, making it an ideal choice for marine and boating applications. Its moisture-reactive properties create a reliable bond between surfaces and adhesives, essential for maintaining the integrity of marine structures and components.

Key Features

• Exceptional Adhesion: Enhances bond strength on an extensive range of substrates, including metals, plastics, and painted surfaces.
• UV Fluorescence: Visible under long-wave UV light for in-process quality control.
• Solvent-Based Formula: Reacts with moisture to form a robust, thin primer layer.
• Easy Application: Can be applied using a brush, felt, or foam applicator for a thin, even coat.
• Single Application: Designed for one-time application, ensuring efficient use.

Benefits for Marine and Boating Applications

Sika® Primer-207 is tailored to meet the demanding requirements of marine environments, providing reliable adhesion on various boat materials such as:

• Aluminum and Steel: Prevents corrosion and ensures strong bonding with polyurethanes.
• Fiberglass: Enhances adhesion on fiberglass surfaces for repairs and modifications.
• Plastics and Composites: Suitable for bonding diverse plastic materials used in marine settings.
• Painted and Pre-Coated Surfaces: Ensures compatibility with existing coatings without the need for activation.

Usage Instructions

For optimal performance in marine applications, follow these usage guidelines:

1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as grease or previous coatings.
2. Mixing: Shake the Primer-207 can vigorously until the mixing balls rattle freely, then continue shaking for an additional minute.
3. Application: Apply a thin, even coat using a brush, felt, or foam applicator. Aim for complete coverage to ensure effective adhesion.
4. Drying Conditions: Maintain an ideal application and surface temperature between 15°C and 25°C for best results.
5. Single Layer Application: Apply only once, ensuring the primer layer is adequately dense for bonding.
6. Storage: Reseal the container tightly after each use to prevent solvent evaporation.

Professional Recommendations

Sika® Primer-207 is recommended for use by experienced professionals in the marine industry. Before application, consult with the manufacturer and conduct compatibility tests on the original substrates, especially on materials susceptible to stress cracking. Proper testing ensures optimal adhesion and material performance under marine conditions.
