What is SIKASIL P MARINE and why choose it
SIKASIL P MARINE by Sika is a one-component, neutral silicone sealant that cures on contact with atmospheric moisture to form a durable, flexible elastomer. It is designed for universal joint sealing on a wide range of substrates such as glass, metals, wood, ceramics and organic glass. Thanks to its solvent-free formulation, high resistance to UV radiation and fungicidal properties, it is especially suitable for long-lasting seals in demanding environments.
