Description
Sonolastic® ULTRA is a one-part moisture curing, caulk-gun applied aliphatic
polyurethane adhesive/sealant with very high UV resistance. Sonolastic® ULTRA
does not require a primer on most materials, but it bonds very well to
wood, cured epoxy-coated surfaces, fiberglass laminates, metal, aluminum, plastics
(except ABS and Lexan), composites and concrete.
Basic Uses
Sonolastic® ULTRA is specially designed for use in the repair and fabrication
of homes, boats, RV's, trucks, van conversions and specialty vehicles. Once cured,
Sonolastic® ULTRA becomes a high strength adhesive that can be used to replace
rivets, welds and other fasteners. Sonolastic® ULTRA is suitable for continual
immersion in water. Sonolastic® ULTRA is designed for interior and exterior
use.
Limitations
Do not apply over damp or contaminated surfaces. Substances that will
contaminate a surface include glycols or products suspended in glycol,
waxes or products with a wax base, substances that contain or contained
silicones. Surfaces should be dry and clean to the base substrate.
Penetrating epoxy coatings on the substrate should be fully cured before
Sonolastic® ULTRA is applied. Use with adequate ventilation.
Packaging
Immediately available in 10.1 oz. (300 ml) caulking gun cartridges and by special
order in 20 oz. (592 ml) sausages.
Colors
Sonolastic ULTRA is available in white or gray. |

Application Recommendations
May be used in any vertical or horizontal joint, seam, crack, or panel. Fill joint
completely and tool. At 75°F (23.9°C) 50% R.H. a durable skin forms within
24 hours. Curing continues at the rate of 1/16 inch (1.6mm) per day. The cure
rate may be slightly reduced at lower temperatures and less humidity. Sonolastic®
ULTRA can be painted after it has cured.
Surface Preparation
For best adhesion, the joint interface must be sound, clean and dry. The joint
surface may require a through wire brushing, grinding, sandblasting, or solvent
washing. A primer such as CPES (Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) can be used
if desired. Primed surfaces should be cured before Sonolastic® ULTRA is applied.
Tooling & Cleaning
Tooling is recommended immediately after application to insure firm, intimate
contact with the joint or seam interface. Dry tooling is preferred, although tooling
agents (such as soapy water) can be used. Excess sealant and smears adjacent to
the joint can be removed with xylene or toluene before sealant cures. After sealant
cures excess compound can be cut away with a blade.
