Sika Spotlight
We’d be remiss to discuss Sika without mentioning the strength and formidability of their sealants. Among our top selling sealants of all types, the Sikaflex 295 UV resistant sealant and the SikaLastomer 511 are atop the list.
Sikaflex 295 UV – This top selling sealant is a rapid cure, one component sealant that performs very well in sealing polycarbonate and acrylic windows/hatches, plus it can be used with effectiveness in sealing joints or gaps between ceramics, fiberglass, metal, plastics, and glass. Due to its unmatched weather and UV resistance, the 295 has become a fan favorite especially in the marine setting, proving that water, wind, and sun are no match for its sealing capabilities. Sikaflex 295 UV can be used in conjunction with Sika 209 primer.
SikaLastomer 511 – The 511 butyl sealant from Sika is a very specific product, but one that is popular none the less. It’s most often used in the factory sealing of standing seam roof and wall panels, and concealed endlaps. This is a rubber-based solution that’s high solid, non-hardening, non-oxidizing, and non-drying, making it a highly specialized and effective product for the construction materials market.
More from Sika – Sika has more to offer than just sealants; if it has to do with construction or the elements that go into building or assembling, you’ll often find the Sika name amongst our product listing.
Sika Anchor Fix -1 – The Anchor Fix is another vintage Sika offering. This two part, high performance adhesive works to anchor threaded bars in uncracked concrete, hard natural stone, masonry, rock, or base materials. Its advantages include an extended working time, the ability to fit into standard caulking guns, the capacity to anchor without expansion force, and its proficiency in making fixes close to free edges.
At Chemical Concepts, we carry many of the products that bear the Sika name, in addition, of course, to the top-sellers we covered in this blog. Visit our Sika products page to browse our entire Sika suite, from sealants and anchors, to admixtures and tape.
