AP017 SMC

AP017 SMC

AP017 SMC is a styrene-free, fast setting, polyester-based, industrial filler paste. AP017 SMC was designed to retain similar properties to SikaBiresin® AP017, but more closely match the sandability and hardness of SMC. It is specifically formulated for filling, fairing, and repair applications and can be used in high service temperatures applications up to 400°F (204°C). When exposed to elevated temperatures, SikaBiresin® AP017 has a tendency to darken, however it does not gas, bubble, or cause any finish distortion. SikaBiresin® AP017 SMC bonds readily to itself or other substrates, such as FRP/SMC, BMC, high temperature epoxy molds, aluminum, steel, cast iron, and urethane foam parts. In its mixed, uncured state,  AP017 SMC has a smooth, creamy consistency that enables the user to make quick repairs with minimal air entrapment.

  • Excellent adhesion
  • Fast setting
  • Sandability matches SMC
  • Minimal shrinkage
  • High chemical and water resistance
  • Excellent finishing / machinability
  • High service temperature
  • Above and below waterline applications
  • Sands to a feather edge 

Usage

AP017 SMC is specifically formulated for use in the transportation, aerospace, marine and other industries that perform manufacturing and repair applications on SMC and on items requiring room temperature or above normal temperature ranges. Once cured and finished, SikaBiresin® AP017 SMC accepts virtually all types of coatings and decorative film without any blush or discoloration.

This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests with actual substrates and conditions have to be performed ensuring adhesion and material compatibility.
