Sika Corp. Introduces Sikaflex®-295i UV for Applications in Polycarbonate & Acrylic Windows

Madison Heights, MI -- Sika Corporation proudly announces the continued integration of its advanced i-Cure Technology into our U.S. marine product line with the introduction of Sikaflex-295i UV. The term i-Cure stands for "intelligent curing" and it is the chemical base for advanced cross linking technology for polyurethane sealants and adhesives.

This patented and proprietary technology base presents the next generation of elastic adhesives and sealants - providing a product that has a reduced VOC footprint and reduced isocyanates. Sika started this transition in 2011 with Sikaflex-292i and with Sikaflex-290i DC in 2012. Sika will continue to transition the remainder of our marine products in the near future.

Sikaflex-295i UV is a one component weather resistant polyurethane adhesive and sealant specifically developed for use in bonding applications for polycarbonate windows and acrylic (PMMA) windows. Some of the major benefits for the new i-Cure version include no added solvents, a significantly reduced VOC chemical base according to US EPA Method 24 and excellent weathering resistance.
