[VAC] Re: Vulkem, Sikaflex, etc.

[Steve Hingtgen <Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've gone over this before, but let me remind everyone that there is absolutely no 
difference between Vulkem 116 and Vulkem 616.  The 6xx series Vulkem products are 
marketed by Tremco to the manufacturing industry (like vehicle construction) and the 
1xx series Vulkem products are marketed to the construction trades (like masons).  I 
spoke with a Tremco sales rep about this and he was very clear about it.  The 
difference in numbering is for inventory tracking purposes.

Also, Sikaflex 221 is a good product and can be used anywhere Vulkem is used.  It is 
untextured (unlike 616 and 116) so is good for visible applications.  Airstream uses 
Sikaflex and Vulkem.  I agree with the person who said it comes out of the tube very 
thin, but that's not necessarily a bad thing depending on your application.
