Sika i-Cure Technology: intelligent, innovative, improved

i-Cure is the synonym for Sika’s latest innovation in polyurethane technology. It involves a new latent hardener chemistry that allows a combination of the best properties and excellent price/performance ratio of classic polyurethane sealant and adhesive technology with features such as very low emissions, solvent free and classification free.

Sika: leader for polyurethane sealants and adhesives

Sika is recognized world-wide as the market and technology leader for polyurethane sealants and adhesives. i-Cure allows the combination of the best properties of traditional polyurethane sealant and adhesive technology with features such as bubble-free curing and very low emissions.

The new products also exhibit unsurpassed adhesion to porous and non-porous substrates. Products based on i-Cure® show that this technology has the potential to improve weatherability and lower the tendency for discoloration when exposed to sunlight, compared to previous polyurethane generations.
