SikaBiresin® AP014

SikaBiresin® AP014 is a fast-setting, versatile, polyester-based industrial filler paste. It is specifically formulated for filling, fairing, and repair applications and can be used in service temperatures up to 285°F (140°C). SikaBiresin® AP014 bonds readily to itself and exhibits good adhesion to Fiberglass, SMC, RIM, BMC, graphite, Kevlar®, aluminum, steel, grey iron, copper, plaster, models, patterns, and other substrates. Once cured, it forms a rigid, strong surface which can be machined, sanded, filed or scraped to a feathered edge. SikaBiresin® AP014 accepts virtually all types of coatings and decorative film without any blush or discoloration. In its mixed, uncured state, SikaBiresin® AP014 has a smooth, creamy consistency that enables the user to make quick repairs with minimal air entrapment.
