Sika launches new polyurethane sealant technology with less than 0.1% monomeric diisocyanate content

Sika launches its newly developed polyurethane sealant technology under the Purform® brand name. This technology enhances the strength and durability advantages of polyurethane and impresses with its extremely low monomer content. The latter enables Sika to produce more sustainable products that meet future environmental and health regulations.

Sikaflex®PRO-3 Purform®

Purform® polyurethane technology enables Sika to significantly reduce the content of monomeric diisocyanates in its products and create solutions with less than 0.1% content. Therefore, it complies with the new EU REACH regulation from August 24, 2023, which aims to improve the protection of human health and the environment. Using Purform® technology, users can benefit from the unique properties of polyurethane at the lowest exposure and highest levels of work safety.

Purform® technology will be used in Sika’s most trusted brands including Sikaflex®, SikaBond®, SicaTack® and SikaFloor®.

Sika controls the entire polyurethane product manufacturing process, from prepolymer to end product. New Sikaflex® Purform® polyurethane, with its simplicity and purity, gives engineers the ability and scope to develop high-performance products such as more durable sealants and adhesives that help save energy, reduce energy consumption and use Safety.

Purform® is “pure” because it starts from the roots of polyurethane technology and gives us additional control, allowing us to design more perfect, purer prepolymer products for many different applications.

SikaflexFloor Seam Sealing

Sika’s more durable sealants and adhesives feature this new improved technology and are available in professional products such as Sikaflex® 11FC and Sikaflex® PRO 3.

Sikaflex®PRO-3
Purform® provides durable sealing for multi-purpose flooring and civil engineering joint sealing, superior mechanical properties, and excellent weathering and chemical resistance to handle years of daily movement and environmental impacts.

Sikaflex®-11 FC+

Sikaflex®-11 FC+ has a longer life: it is more resistant to hot and humid conditions and has a lower environmental impact due to its ultra-low monomeric diisocyanate content.

Both of these trusted products feature a new generation of Sika polyurethane polymer that is ready to go faster as it quickly builds stiffness and strength, also at lower temperatures. Polyurethane is the first choice for long-lasting, reliable sealing and bonding, even under the most adverse conditions.
