A new sealant product can be used in a range of construction applications

Sika has developed Sikaflex-423 Powercure for use with its Sika Powercure Dispenser which mixes the correct ratios of sealant and booster for a quick and convenient direct application. This offers a considerable time saving when compared to the traditional two-part products available on the market, and also reduces the risk of mixing errors. Being pre-mixed, this reduces waste.

Manufactured using Sika’s new polyurethane technology, Purform, it is both EU REACH and UK REACH compliant which means users will not need to undertake specific training in the future to use the product safely. The innovative new Purform technology used to formulate Sikaflex-423 Powercure provides exceptional product application and performance properties.
