Sika’s sealing and bonding shows good adhesion to a wide range of materials including concrete, masonry, painted wood, coated or galvanized aluminum, steel or PVC. This is namely important for window, door and other installations.
Why Joint Sealing is Important
The building blocks of your construction - like the concrete slab, the glass facade element, the roofing membrane, the metal cover - generally do not let water, moisture or air enter the building or structure. It is at the joints where a building is weakest to leakage. Only correctly specified and professionally applied high quality joint sealants will manage to keep your building or structure sustainably tight during its entire lifespan.
Joint Sealing For a Variety of Joints
Sika’s sealing and bonding shows good adhesion to a wide range of materials including concrete, masonry, painted wood, coated or galvanized aluminum, steel or PVC. This is namely important for window, door and other installations.
Sika joint sealant recommended areas
- for non-porous substrates like metal and glass, choose Sika’s innovative silicone range.
- for porous substrates like concrete, bricks and masonry, choose Sika’s advanced polyurethane sealants.
- for applications where a wide adhesion range is required like for window installations, the unique silane-modified polymer sealants are most suitable.
SIKASIL SILICONE SEALANTS
Sikasil® represents a proven line of high-performance silicone sealants and adhesives for structural glazing, weather, and joint sealing, insulated glass and a
variety of specialty applications.
Sikasil® silicone sealants are the product of choice when specific characteristics are desired in a sealant. Typical conditions favoring the selection of Sikasil® silicone sealants occur in glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal interface in glazing systems.
SIKAFLEX POLYURETHANE JOINT SEALANTS
Sikaflex® polyurethane sealants will bond to wide range of substrate, particularly porous substrates such as concrete and masonry, without the use of a primer. It is an accepted fact that Sikaflex® polyurethane sealants have superior wetting action in achieving a bond to various joint substrates under jobsite conditions.
