PROCESSING
After mixing according to the required ratio,
carry out impregnation of the reinforcements.
To ensure an optimal and good impregnation,
material must be used at a temperature above
68 F (20 C). **Please note: Do not allow
excess mixed material to remain in bulk; pour
into a thin sheet and allow to cure. Excessive
amounts of mixed material in bulk has a
potential of high exotherm with possible
violent reactivity.
Preliminary self-support cure schedule:
Final Tg is greatly impacted by post cure
temperature and time. To reduce the risk of
distortion and minimize tool shrinkage, a
precise post cure schedule is recommended.
Demolding should be conducted only after a
minimum self-supporting cure of 12 hours at
104 F (40 C). A support fixture is
recommended for complex shapes. Please
use a heating rate of 36 F (20 C) maximum
per hour between stages and heat up and for
cool down. Variable cure temperture and
times can be used depending on final tool or
part requirements. Some potential cure
examples and Tg builds are:
8 Hours at 284 F (140 C) cure 302 F
(150 C) Tg
8 Hours at 302 F (150 C) cure 320 F
(160 C) Tg
48 Hours at 302 F (150 C)
cure 327 F(164 C) Tg
Alternative post-cure options can be used, if
needed, in processing. Contact Sika Corporation s
Industry Technical Services Department at
tsmh@us.sika.com for additional information and
advice.
Heating and cooling rates during post-cure:
Always allow tools made with Sika high
temperature systems to gel at room
temperature before subjecting them to post
cure (24 hours is usually sufficient). This will
prevent excessive exotherm and shrink stress
from occurring. When oven curing laminated
molds, always place mold in a room
temperature oven and increase temperature
at a rate of no more than 50 F (30 C) per hour.
When heat cure is completed, turn off oven
and allow molds to remain in the oven. Never
remove mold from oven until mold
temperature has been lowered to less than
100 F (38 C).
Normal health and safety precautions should be
observed when handling these products:
Ensure adequate ventilation
Wear gloves, glasses, and protective clothes
For further information, please consult the Safety
Data Sheets
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Shelf life of resin and hardener is 12 months
when stored in original, unopened containers
between 65-77 F (15 – 25 C). Any opened can
must be tightly closed.

DESCRIPTION
ESG-215 GRAPHITE FILLED HIGH TEMPERATURE EPOXY PATCHING PASTE was developed to meet the requirement of the aircraft
and aerospace industry for use in repairing surface defects on composite molds and for making minor engineering changes. ESG-215 resin
is available with 2 hardener options: ESG-215 hardener is a lower viscosity hardener for filling minor surface defects; ESG-215-T is a thicker
hardener for filling large repairs requiring greater sag resistance.

POST CURE SCHEDULE
8 hours @ 77 F (25 C)
+3 hours @ 350 F (177 C)
OPTIONAL ACCELERATED CURE
Product Technical Bulletin Cont.
ESG-215 can be cured to a sandable condition by directing a localized heat source, such as a heat gun, heat lamp or infrared heater at the
repaired area until material has hardened. A complete cure of ESG-215-T can then be achieved during the high temperature use of the
mold.
HEATING AND COOLING RATES DURING POST CURE
Always allow tools made with ADTECH High Temperature systems to gel at room temperature before subjecting them to post cure (24
hours is usually sufficient). This will prevent excessive exotherm and shrink stress from occurring.
When oven curing laminated molds, always place the mold in a room temperature oven. Increase oven temperature at a rate of no more
than 50 F (30 C) per hour. When heat cure is completed, turn off oven and allow molds to remain in the oven. Never remove mold from
oven until mold temperature has been lowered to less than100 F (38 C).

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
SikaBiresin CR94 with CH94- 1 (Fast), CH94- 3 (Medium), CH94-6 (Slow) hardeners
(FORMERLY L 140)
EPOXY LAMINATING SYSTEM
VARIABLE HARDENERS, LAMINATING, SUPERIOR PROPERTIES
DESCRIPTION
The new and improved SikaBiresin CR94 systems (formerly L 140) are convenient, easy-to-
use, 100% solids laminating systems developed for building, repairing or restoring any type
of marine vessels and for many other applications and markets. The versatility of the L 140
epoxy systems makes them ideal for use in standard wet lay-up and vacuum bagging
processing with a wide range of reinforcements. These systems can also be mixed with a
variety of fillers for fairing, filleting or bonding applications. SikaBiresin CR94 epoxy systems
consist of one base resin and a selection of three separate hardeners to suit your application
needs. These systems are all mixed at convenient 3:1 volumetric mix ratio and can be
metered through our calibrated push pumps or various types of dispensing equipment when
scales are not used. In addition to the high strength and durability of the SikaBiresin CR94
epoxy systems, the low viscosity allows for better wet-out resulting in lighter, stronger, void-
free parts without experiencing run out on vertical surfaces. The unique chemistry of the
SikaBiresin CR94 systems provide maximum physical properties, reduces curing exotherm
and minimizes blush, making these systems more trouble free than ever. Applications
include marine boats, parts, tools and also tools or parts for the industrial, transportation,
and aerospace industries.
PROPERTIES
Low viscosity for excellent wet-out
R.T. cured and post-cured options
Variable pot life/working time options
Above and below waterline use
Good high modulus/ good elongation
Good 24 hour surface sandability
Suitable for glass, carbon, aramid fabric
Hardener blending an option
Excellent bond to all fabrics
Superior overall properties

can be used with R.T. cure only or with some (Post-cure) carried out.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products :
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear gloves, glasses and protective clothes.
For further information, please consult the Safety Data Sheets.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Product shelf life of resin and hardener is 2 years when stored in original unopened containers
between 65 77 F (15 25 C). Any opened can must be tightly closed. Any opened can must be
tightly closed.

PROCESSING (Vacuum casting machine)
Vacuum casting into silicone molds.
Both parts have to be processed at a temperature above 65 F (18 C).
Important: Remix part B before each weighing.
Degas each part before use.
Mix for approximately 45 seconds.
Cast in a mold pre-heated at 158 F (70 C) minimum.
Allow to cure 45 to 70 minutes at 158 F (70 C) before demolding
Carry out the following postcure:
1 hr at 158 F (70 C) + 1 hr at 212 F (100 C) + 12 hr at 230 F (110 C).
NOTE : After demolding it s necessary to support the part in the oven to maintain its shape during
post cure. Ensure that the geometry or the mass of the part does not present any
deformation risk.

PROCESSING
After mixing according to the indicated ratio, carry out impregnation of the reinforcements.
To ensure an optimal use and a good impregnation, please use packaging stored at a temperature
above 15 C.
CURE CONDITIONS
In order to avoid any risk of distortion or tooling shrinkage a precise curing cycle must be observed.
Demolding takes place only after a 24 hour R.T. minimum or 16 hour pre-curing at 40 C-60 C. material
can be used with R.T. cure only or with some (Post-cure) carried out.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products :
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear gloves, glasses and protective clothes.
For further information, please consult the Safety Data Sheets.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Shelf life of resin and hardeners are 12 months in original, unopened container stored in a dry 65-
77 F (18- 25 C) place.
Repeated exposure to low temperatures during storage may cause the resin to crystallize. If this
occurs, warm the resin to 120 – 140 F (49 -60 C) and stir to dissolve the crystals. Any opened can
must be tightly closed.
