Sikaflex NP1 is a one-component, high-performance, non-priming, gun-grade, elastomeric polyurethane sealant. It requires no mixing and typically requires no priming to bond to many materials, including concrete and masonry.
Sika Sikaflex NP 1 is a one-component, high-performance, non-priming, elastomeric polyurethane sealant designed for both interior and exterior applications. This gun-grade sealant requires no mixing and offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of construction materials, including concrete, masonry, aluminum, and wood. With ±35% joint movement capability, it provides a flexible, long-lasting seal in high-movement and weather-exposed joints. It is ideal for sealing expansion joints, panel walls, roofing applications, and window perimeters. Sikaflex NP 1 is also an effective acoustical sealant, reducing sound transmission in partition systems.
