Sika Releases Removeable, Elastic Butyl Sealant
Sika Corp. recently introduced SikaLastomer-714, butyl sealant for the U.S. transportation aftermarket.
SikaLastomer-714 is a one-component, butyl sealant that can be easily removed, making it ideal for components that require disassembly, according to the company. Recommended applications for SikaLastomer-714 include the sealing of bolt-in parts to vehicle flange (i.e. truck sliders) as well as sealing of gaskets to various substrate material.
“Once applied, SikaLastomer-714 will not harden, but remains permanently tacky and can easily be dabbed off,” said Francis Boyle, VP of Sika’s transportation aftermarket. “This unique capability, along with its impressive performance properties, make SikaLastomer-714 an excellent sealant for a wide variety of maintenance applications in the transportation aftermarket.”
SikaLastomer-714 is black in color.
