Why Joint Sealing is Important
At the joint, the different building elements, materials and trades meet. A joint occurs where two components meet and may occur within an element of construction or at part of an interface between two elements. Joint sealing facilitates construction, as a number of components made of different materials are used. Joints allow for needed movement of the materials but must remain water, air, heat, cold and vapor tight. Avoid making mistakes where your building is most vulnerable to leakage – the joint.
The building blocks of your construction - like the concrete slab, the glass facade element, the roofing membrane, the metal cover - generally do not let water, moisture or air enter the building or structure. It is at the joints where a building is weakest to leakage. Only correctly specified and professionally applied high quality joint sealants will manage to keep your building or structure sustainably tight during its entire lifespan.
"The Sika PowerCure dispenser is widely used in industrial applications, for example to replace windscreens in short times. Sikaflex®-423 PowerCure cures quickly and reliably, regardless of joint dimensions, geometries, substrates and humidity." Helen Guy
The Sika PowerCure dispenser is widely used in industrial applications, for example to replace windscreens in short times. Sikaflex®-423 PowerCure cures quickly and reliably, regardless of joint dimensions, geometries, substrates and humidity.
To relieve the pressure faced in these application situations, Sika now offers Sikaflex®-423 PowerCure, a one-component, non-sag, high-performance sealant and booster for vertical and horizontal joints. Mixed by the unique Sika PowerCure dispenser, correct ratios of sealant and booster are applied directly to the joint for a quick and convenient application.
There are many applications where joints need to be ready for release after just a few hours, with nature or industry often dictating the working time. Situations including the maintenance of seawalls, the installation and refurbishment of transportation or water management infrastructure, operational production facilities and warehouses all come with time constraints which only allow for a small window of opportunity in which to apply the sealant.
