Sikaflex SL 1 is one component, non-priming, self-leveling elastomeric polyurethane designed for expansion joints in concrete floors and decks. Use it where flexibility as well as abrasion and puncture resistance are required.
Sika Sikaflex SL 1 is a one-component, self-leveling polyurethane sealant formulated for horizontal expansion and control joints in concrete floors, decks, and industrial surfaces. This elastomeric sealant features ±35% movement capability and exceptional durability, making it ideal for areas with frequent joint expansion and contraction. Sikaflex SL 1 offers easy application, requires no tooling, and bonds well to most common substrates without the need for primer. Its abrasion resistance, weatherability, and compatibility with plaza decks, sidewalks, and parking structures make it an excellent solution for commercial and residential horizontal joint sealing applications.
