SIKAFLEX 291 LOT Tube Color

Postby rnln » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:56 am

Q1: is the sealant SIKAFLEX 291 LOT different if the tube color is RED or BLUE?

Q2: which tube color of SIKAFLEX 291 LOT is preferred?

Q3: is the sealant SIKAFLEX 291 LOT the same no matter the tube color?

Q4: is the tube color for SIKAFLEX 291 LOT just a label change?

Moderator's note: the words RED and BLUE above are hypertext. Clicking on the hypertext will lead to other websites where the tubes are shown in the particular colors.

Q1: is the sealant SIKAFLEX 291 LOT different if the tube color is RED or BLUE?
I've only ever seen the tubes in blue color.

Q2: which tube color of SIKAFLEX 291 LOT is preferred?

Q5: Color of what?

Q6: The tube color?

Q7: The material color?

Q8: Are you trying to match something and need a specific material color?

Q9: Was that another tube color question?

Q3: is the sealant SIKAFLEX 291 LOT the same no matter the tube color?
Again, as in the answer to Q1, I've only known SIKAFLEX 291 LOT to come in a blue tube.

I do not see a tube with red label on the manufacturer's website.
Cf.: https://usa.sika.com/en/industry/products-solutions/adhesives-and-sealants/sikaflex.html

Q4: is the tube color for SIKAFLEX 291 LOT just a label change?
Please show the red label. This question is in line with the questions and answers in Q1 through Q3.

Follow the hypertext word "RED" in the initial post to see a tube with red label coloring.

Are you specifically asking about the SIKAFLEX 291 LOT version?

The LOT or Long Open Tube version can take a week to cure. Perhaps the manufacturer changed the product color to alert buyers that the SIKAFLEX 291 LOT version was different from the SIKAFLEX 291 regular version so the buyer would not buy the wrong product.

This is like asking what's the difference between 2 Chevy Tahoe LT models, but one is red, the other blue.... Which is preferred? Are they the same?
