Question: What is the difference between Sika’s sealants (e.g., Sikaflex) and standard silicone?
Sika Construction Solutions
Answer: Standard silicones are often surface-level sealants that lose elasticity over time. Sikaflex (polyurethane-based) is a high-performance sealant that is stronger, more flexible, and—critically—paintable. It is specifically designed to handle dynamic joints (areas that expand and contract due to temperature changes) without tearing. It is the preferred choice for sealing gaps in external facades, window frames, and concrete joints.
